FSP3004 Interactive Documentary is an advanced course aimed at preparing students to transition into the film industry as new media professionals working in interactive environments. As such, it draws on skills and methods used in previous Film Programme courses. Interactive documentaries, also known as web documentaries or i-docs, are multimedia documentary projects distributed via the internet. They are defined by a number of characteristics and like film or television documentaries, they present a creative interpretation of actuality. This course develops skills and knowledge in factual storytelling within an interactive environment and examines the idea of authorship and individual voice.

This course examines the reframing and repositioning of the word `interactive' as it relates to emerging forms of factual storytelling. Students will expand on skills and knowledge gained in previous courses such as FSP2005 Cinematic Language, FSP2003 Post Production and VFX to develop and build new forms of storytelling in digital, computer and web forms. Students will explore the relationship between theme, form and authorship through case studies and experiential learning.

On successful completion of this course students should be able to:

1. Apply advanced management, planning and organisational skills to develop interactive work flows.
2. Recognise and utilise authorial voice in interactive documentary
3. use advanced interactive production and postproduction styles and techniques.
4. Apply and justify methodology appropriate to interactive documentary creative practice;
5. use academic and professional literacy through applying, synthesising and evaluating the process involved in researching, collaboration and mentoring processes involved in creating interactive creative arts projects
