About

What makes an idea for a documentary 'good'? How do you decide what information you need in your treatment? What's the best way of targeting the industry? Do you need a presenter, and if so, how do you find and hire them? Should you film a taster? These questions and more can be answered at The London Film School's Documentary Ideas Surgery course.

Overview

Careers

Eight participants of The London Film School's Documentary Ideas Surgery will be asked to come armed with at least one idea for a factual programme or series that they have written up. The treatments can be long or short, fully formed or sketched out, a feature length documentary or a factual entertainment series. And you are encouraged to bring any additional material you have on the idea including: photos, taster tapes, music or clips. Each individual idea will be workshopped thoroughly during the day so that everyone leaves with clear points of action to pursue. 

Programme Structure

Courses include:

  • What makes an idea ‘good’?
  • Research - How to decide what information you need to provide
  • How to improve your treatment
  • Do you need a presenter?
