This class provides students with a practical and comprehensive grounding in video and film technology. Students learn lighting, camera, composition and audio. Workshops included are taught by working professionals who are masters in their craft. Classes cover lighting for glamour and fashion, natural light for interviews, deep staging and more. Students will shoot Super 8 motion picture film (film is developed and digitized for for students to use in post-production), use steadicam, dollies and jib arms.

Introduction to Digital Video provides all you need to know to start rolling in the world of digital video production. Learn what the buttons and knobs on your camera do, how to use manual functions (iris, focus, shutter, white balance)--and when to use auto functions to shoot like a Pro.

Fall Session

Fundamentals of Filmmaking is a hands-on introduction to digital film production and the basic tools: camera, composition, scripting, lighting editing, crew roles and how to work as a team. Although the scope is introductory and basic, the approach is professional and the goal is to learn filmmaking the way it is done in the industry.
