Documentary Cinema Seminar

“My idea is to speak about the documentary in all its states from the script. I will take as a point of departure and point of arrival the different stages for which it crosses a documentary script. In spite of the fact that spoken enough on the uselessness or even of the nonexistence of the documentary script I believe that, on the contrary, the documentary writing is very advisable to make a documentary work.
One of the characteristics of the documentary script is that there remains opened (unfinished, changeable, modifiable) during the whole process of accomplishment of the work, from the first day of filming up to the sound mixture, which it allows to speak about the writing in parallel with the stages of the manufacture of the whole movie."
