Documentary Filmmaking

If you’re ready to begin creating documentaries with your students, this online tool will help you to select the right equipment and resources.

To edit their documentaries, your students can use iMovie, part of the iLife '08 digital authoring suite included on every new Mac. Or, if your students are ready for more advanced tools, they can use Final Cut Express or Final Cut Pro - the same tool that professionals use.

Also available is the Documentary Resource Kit that includes materials created by expert teachers to help you and your students get up-to-speed quickly.

Simply enter quantities for any of the items below to create your solution. A PDF proposal will be instantly created that you can share with your colleagues or use for purchasing purposes.
