DIGITAL PRODUCTION I

Thursday
10 am to 1 pm

Other classes possible depending on interest - contact us to register your availability

This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of video production. Students will learn how to pre-visualize & storyboard a script, following this up with how to get the most out of their camera and be creative with lighting: framing, composition, angles, lenses, filters, lighting set-ups, gels, practicals, etc. Editing, sound design and post-production will also be touched on, providing students with tips and techniques. Practical exercises will demonstrate different principles in each class. Students require their own digital video camera and editing software (FinalCut Pro, Adobe Premier, etc) and should have familiarity with the operation of these tools: the focus of the workshop is on aesthetics and story-telling. No other pre-requisite is required. Can be taken in conjunction with a short production prospective students are planning.
$350 - 10 weeks

DIGITAL PRODUCTION II

Thursday
10 am to 1 pm

Other classes possible depending on interest - contact us to register your availability

This course is designed for students who are familiar with the fundamentals, and are interested in making their own production. This course will familiarize students with more advanced film-making techniques, how to work with actors, block a scene, eye-lines, maintain screen direction, etc. Everything comes together, enabling students to realize a short 10 or 15-minute digital video (students are expected to have available time outside the course to organize and shoot their video). Come with a short script in mind! Student projects will be work-shopped, from polishing scripts through pre-production and post. Students require their own digital video camera and editing software (FinalCut Pro, Adobe Premier, etc). No pre-requisite required, but Digital Production I and Introduction to Screenwriting are suggested.
