Introduction to Video Production is a trimester course for students who have taken Film Studies, by Dr. Hawkins. This course is for students interested in creating their very own short film. Students will write an original screenplay, build a crew, shoot and edit their short film projects so as to apply what they have learned. Students will expand their knowledge of artistic and technical terms, techniques, and skills inherent in the visual medium of film. We will study elements of composition and cinematic language, and apply these concepts effectively and purposefully to their own work. Video Production heavily focuses on student-centered projects which means active participation is vital to the successful completion of this course. Students in this course will learn basic camera, audio, and lighting equipment terminology, and functions and will be expected to act responsibly when using said equipment.
