This course is designed to introduce you to the fundamental theories and practical skills needed to better prepare you for your multimedia productions during your studies and later in your private and professional projects.
Upon completion of this course, students will have the skills necessary to not only create engaging, single-camera video productions that can be applied to various types of projects, but will also acquire skills for recording better audio in the field, audio editing and mixing.
This is a practical course, which means you'll learn mostly by doing. You'll explore both video and audio production through multiple projects. For a more concentrated exploration of both mediums, the audio projects will focus on dialog editing and mixing, and the video projects will focus on composition and storytelling.
