Columbia哥伦比亚大学Documentary纪录片专业申请攻略(硕士)
The Documentary program combines world‐class training in how to be a reporter with professional skills in the craft of long-form visual storytelling. Students spend 9½ months learning how to develop sources; find and verify information; use data and develop visual skills. They learn camera work, sound recording and editing. They also learn the business side of documentary production – grant writing, negotiations, rights and clearances and how to develop a winning production trailer.
纪录片项目将为怎样成为具有长篇视觉故事表达专业技巧的记者提供世界级培训。学生花9个半月学习如何开发资源;查找并验证信息;使用数据并发展视觉技能。他们学习摄影、录音和编辑。他们还学习了纪录片制作的商业方面——授权写作、谈判、权利和许可,以及如何开发一部成功的制作预告片。
During the fall semester, students take the core Reporting class, then test into Video 1 (for the inexperienced) or Video 2 (for those with demonstrated experience in shooting and editing). Beginning videographers are expected to develop their skills. Concurrently, during the first semester, students learn about the documentary canon and workshop story ideas for their own films. Projects are approved for production by the time the spring semester begins.
在秋季学期,学生们参加核心报告课,然后测试视频1(对于没有经验的学生)或视频2(对于那些有拍摄和编辑经验的学生来说)。希望初出茅庐的摄像师能够发展自己的技能。同时,在第一学期,学生们学习自己电影的纪录片经典和工作坊故事理念。春季学期开始时,项目已获得批准。
During the spring semester, students get hands‐on production experience and learn to craft compelling stories. By the end of the semester they pitch a work‐in‐progress trailer to a group of commissioning editors from major outlets. In the past, these editors have included representatives from the Sundance Documentary Fund, HBO and CNN.
在春季学期,学生们将获得制作经验,并学习制作引人入胜的故事。学期结束时,他们向一组来自各大媒体的委托编辑推介了一部正在制作的预告片。过去,这些编辑包括圣丹斯纪录片基金会、HBO和CNN的代表。
Students complete their Master's Project documentary during the summer semester and they are due on August 14. They graduate in December at a special graduation event. The following day, their films are showcased at the annual Columbia Journalism School.

Autobiographical essay:
In a short autobiographical essay, tell us about yourself. You can write about your family, your education, your talents, or your passions about significant places or events in your life; about books you have read, people you have met, or work you have done that has shaped the person you have become.
Professional interests/M.A. essay:
Submit a stringent self-assessment of your work as a journalist or in Columbia’s Master of Science program, pointing out strengths and weaknesses. If you have not been enrolled as a student in the past five years, we would like to know what opportunities and challenges you foresee in pursuing the Master of Arts, as well as how you expect to change your career path after completing this program. If you have recently completed our Master of Science program, we would appreciate your specific ideas regarding the added value the Master of Arts program will confer upon you, and your assessment of the relationship between the two curricula.
Program Interests essay:
This essay should make the case for your admission to your chosen major within the M.A. program. Please describe how your educational or professional experience has prepared you to undertake this field of study and to handle the in-depth materials you will encounter in the major. It will be helpful to the admission committee if you discuss any interest in a sub-specialty (i.e. a Business and Economics major may wish to become a technology reporter) in which you will produce your master’s thesis.
