Video Production: Digital Film-Making
Students will investigate techniques of video production: directorial style, script development, camera technique, editing, etc. Evaluation of the aesthetic principles of videography, investigation of selected historical topics, and “hands-on” training in video technique will form the basis of most class sessions. Students will write, shoot, and edit short films ranging from the traditional to the avant-garde. In order to produce original digital films, students will be trained in camera technique and in the uses of non-linear editing and audio creation software applications.
