In this comprehensive four-week course, we tackle video production from start to final output. We’ll cover everything from turning on your camera and shooting video for the first time, to audio, lighting, editing and more. Students will be asked to apply skills learned in the class to produce a video and will screen their production at the fourth session of the workshop.

Class One – The Basics | Three Hours

Video — your camera can shoot it but you’re not sure where to start? Have you tried video but aren’t happy with the results? Shutter, ISO, Aperture — they don’t work the same as when taking photos.
