Video Production Lab

Catalog description

This six-week graduate course is designed as an entry-level introduction to the foundational concepts and techniques in video, audio, and editing production. This class prepares students with little to no prior experience in video and audio production to readily participate in the Digital Media and Storytelling (DMST) master's program. Students with some or greater knowledge in this field will also have the opportunity to expand their prior knowledge as the course focuses on developing practical skills to effectively capture and edit video and audio elements to create compelling visual narratives. Students will be provided access to industry- standard tools while learning how to shape stories using best practices in media production. Throughout the course, students will explore the fundamentals of video production, including camera operation, sound recording, and editing software using Adobe software. Emphasis will be placed on hands-on experience, with each student producing and editing short video projects that integrate both visual and audio storytelling techniques.
