Students will be required to utilize GOOGLE CLASSROOM and/or Office 365 to complete the course.
Where Can It Take Me
Digital video production, also called digital videography, offers an array of jobs and positions. As a camera operator, video editor, DVD writer, animator or audio director, you could work in movies, television, news media, advertising, education, government or businesses. Once you learn how to operate the latest video equipment and associated computer programs, you can create factual and fictional audiovisual productions.

WHAT IS VIDEO?
Video is a pursuit that attracts people with a wide variety of talents, so you are almost certain to find a place in it for your particular abilities and interests. Because making videos is interesting, you may want to pick up a phone right now and get started. But if you first take the time to learn some basic fundamental skills your going to benefit from a more well defined final product, which in turn could increase the chance of getting that fulfilling career in video you always dreamed about!
Setting Up For Production
You may become the best camera person on the block, the finest sound recordist, or the most talented makeup artist. But you still will not know how to make a video unless you master the art of video communication. When you watch television, or a Youtube channel, you may think you are looking at a picture of the actual world, but you are not. The screen is a window that looks out on a completely different universe - the normal laws of space, time and gravity do not apply. In the video universe:
- an actor can open a door in London and walk through it to Los Angeles.
- a car can turn a corner and jump forward a week in time.
- an actor can fall ten stories onto concrete and walk away.
Except during special effects, most of the strange behavior of the video universe is quite invisible. Writers, directors, designers and editors understand how to use the laws of video world to fool the viewer. These laws are so powerful that unless you understand them, you cannot effectively tape a single scene or competently edit two shots together.
The Construction of Video Programs
Video production falls into three broad topics: pre-production, production and post-production.
- Pre-production phase includes everything you do before actual shooting begins. Pre-production includes scripting (storyboarding), scouting locations, gathering cast and crew, and planning production equipment and other requirements.
- Production phase covers the actual shooting of the material that will become the final product. In most productions, responsibilities for the visual characteristics, or look of the program is shared by the director, videographer and production designer.
- Post-Production phase is the end. Many first time productions are shoot it then show it productions with minimal post production changes. More refined productions take months or even years to complete. The post-production phase is just as important as as the production phase. In post production you assemble the material in order, add music or sound effects and create titles and visual effects.
