The use of the videos produced in class is yet to be determined; they may be sent to media outlets for promotion or used in a future multimedia project. Past Merge Records projects have aired on Pitchfork, Babelgum, Converse, and other outlets, and music videos of Merge bands have aired on MTV, VH1, and other networks. This course is a collaboration between director Cam Carrithers, Merge Records, and the Center for Documentary Studies.
Please note: Students must submit an example of their work to cdscourses@duke.edu along with a statement about their interest and experience. A hard drive with a minimum of 50 gigabytes of storage space is required. Students are encouraged to use their own computers (see registration page for details).
