COURSE DESCRIPTION
Video production can be applied across a wide range of contexts, from entertainment and education to marketing and training. It can be used for documentaries, films, advertisements, tutorials, webinars, and more. This versatility makes video production a valuable skill in many fields. This course is designed to teach you the fundamentals of creating, producing, and editing video content. Using a smartphone or digital camera, you will learn the skills necessary to professionally produce engaging pieces that capture the attention of the viewer.
Through fun hands-on projects and group work, you will gain experience in pre-production, production, and post-production processes. You will have the opportunity to get out of the classroom, explore your surroundings, and choose the right settings and locations for your videos. You’ll learn the basics of shooting with a digital device as well as lighting techniques for different types of shots. You will also learn how to create compelling stories, develop effective scripts, and visuals, as well as how to use video editing software to create engaging content for platforms such as YouTube, Vimeo, and social media.
Topics covered include storyboarding, shooting techniques, lighting, and editing. By the end of the course, you will have developed the skills and knowledge to create professional-quality video content for captivating storytelling and engagement.
ONLINE FORMAT
This class will consist of readings and assignments posted on Google Classroom and TWO scheduled zoom sessions (zoom is a video conference app.) You will only have two zoom meetings the first weekend of class, and then work independently on your assignments for the remaining 4 weeks. Please make sure you register for the course with a valid email address, since this is where you will receive an invitation notification to join Google Classroom. Both zoom and Google Classroom are free platforms and easy to use. You will be invited to join Google Classroom a week before class starts. Make sure you check your spam/junk folder, as invitations to join Google Classroom sometimes end up there. Your email must be Google compatible, so it’s best if you use gmail, hotmail or yahoo. If you don’t receive a notification before class starts, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to contact us.
ASSIGNMENTS & COMPLETION CERTIFICATE
All assignments must be successfully completed in order to receive your course completion certificate. Course completion certificates will be emailed to you, to the email address you registered for the class with. If you have a deadline and need your certificate earlier, please indicate it during the registration process and upload proof (there is a question that asked about early certificate.) You may receive your certificate as early as ONE week after class has started, as long as you complete all assignments successfully and it is confirmed by your instructor.
ATTENDANCE
Attendance during the scheduled zoom sessions IS MANDATORY and we will be taking attendance! If you do not attend these, you will NOT receive a course completion certificate. Meetings are not recorded and there are no make-up sessions. It is not possible to sign up for a new class if you miss the zoom meetings – your will have to pay for a new class! Other than the zoom sessions, the class is self-paced and you will be free to work on your assignments whenever you can. You will have 4 weeks to complete all assignments and course requirements.
