XDMA9151 - Video Production

Course Description

Tired of shooting videos that never quite match what’s in your mind’s eye? Ever wonder how to use a video camera to get specific results? You’ll gain control of your video production equipment, learning how to effectively control and manipulate them, and no longer be at the mercy of your tools. Through hands-on demonstrations and lectures about choosing a camera and video format, using manual camera settings for greater control, learning how to shoot still and moving shots, lighting a scene for exposure and mood, and basic approaches to recording dialogue and sound effects, students acquire foundational skills to create short video productions. Students also learn low-budget and no-budget approaches to the production process, enabling them to create a professional video even without access to high level equipment.
