Video Production I

Fulfills either the fine arts or practical arts requirement for graduation. UC/CSU Fine Arts approved.

Introduction to Video Production 1A is an introductory elective course that offers students a survey in film theory and practice with a majority of the coursework dedicated to hands on experience. Students will shoot video on digital cameras and edit with Apple workstations using digital editing software (e.g. Apple’s Final Cut Pro 6 suite of software/ Adobe Creative Cloud products). This course will emphasize the important role of mass media in society. The students will be able to use the knowledge gained in this course to produce effective videos/films in and out of an educational setting. Emphasis will be placed on producing videos from start (pre visualization) to finish (post production), and will give students the invaluable experience of working productively in a group setting.
