3 Day Video Production Course Outline:
DAY 1:
On the first day, you will be introduced to video production and will have a first look at the video cameras. You will learn about different types of camera shots and movements, and will discuss ideas on form, style, and content for your shoot. You will also receive hands-on camera training, including sound recording and practice with microphones.
DAY 2:
On the second day, you will shoot your production (usually on location). Each group member will rotate production roles, taking turns directing, operating the camera, setting up the lights (if indoors), recording sound, etc. Afterwards, you will watch back what you shot and take notes.
DAY 3:
On the third day, you will use Adobe Premiere software to edit your short film. Please bring a USB stick so you can take a copy. Please note that no one can “learn” professional editing software in one day, but the supported edit day will give you enough to complete your film and insights on how you can further develop your editing skills.
