Filmmaking

Projects in filimmaking may include special effects, short narratives, blue screen work, music videos, and/or documentaries. Students
will learn basic camera function and lighting techniques if filmmaking is new to them and will be exposed to rudimentary digital editing techniques. The more advanced students will work with the complexities of local and staged lighting, the integration of sound and effects, voice overs, and the organization of production team work.

All students will work with the digital video editing lab workstations and the wide selection of cameras from the 1CCD hand-helds to
the 5 CCD Sony cameras and the peripheral equipment of flood lights, booms, microphones, field monitors, and various capture devices. These are provided to all students enrolled in the film classes.
