CEVA 0901 - Digital Video Production

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

Digital video production is for budding movie-makers with an emphasis on experimentation in the use of the video medium. The primary goal of the course will be to serve as a foundation for further exploration in digital video artwork and storytelling. Attendees will write, direct, act, shoot, and edit short videotapes, with beginning and intermediate instruction. We will cover the fundamentals of shooting, sound, lighting and editing among other production issues. Attendees will form production teams and put these techniques into practice. We will be working at Brown's fully equipped Multimedia Lab and shooting on location at the Brown campus using digital camcorders and editing digitally with iMovie and Final Cut Pro. Each student will take home copies of the finished production on VHS videotape. Demos on camera use, lighting, sound capture and digital editing techniques will take place during the first week of the course. Group discussion and one-on-one help will be provided as needed. We will do group screenings and critiques of completed projects; in addition to critiquing work, we will use these sessions as a way to revisit the ideas presented earlier, and explore what worked and what didn't. This should prove to be an exciting and fun-filled learning experience.
