Video Field Production

Catalog description

Video Field Production covers all stages of single channel remote television production, from writing a proposal to post-production editing. Careful pre-production planning and thoughtful structuring of projects will be stressed. Production skills involving camera, lighting, and audio are covered, as well as both linear and computer-based non-linear editing. After completion of a series of short exercises, which are designed to build an understanding of each step of the video making process, students each produce a final project. Critique and analysis of completed works is a critical component of the course. This is a cross-genre course in which documentary, narrative, and experimental forms are all discussed.
