How is a documentary created and produced?

This course is designed to provide students with opportunities to expand their skills in research, writing, speaking, and graphic design while experiencing the challenges and opportunities of broadcast production. Student production teams are encouraged to film at off campus sites including Forestdale and Oak Ridge Schools as well as Blue Knight sports and performing arts events. Production teams select a topic of interest, present a production plan, write a script, and produce a documentary using the cable television studio at Sandwich High School. Students may enter their documentary in a variety of local, state and national contests celebrating the student as learner. Due to the emphasis on trust, collaboration, and independent field work, the teacher and school counselor reserve the right to consult with administration regarding course placement.
