After successful completion of the course, students are able to script, shoot, capture, edit, and output short video projects. They have learned how to organize footage and modify it into a coherent sequence, set up short video projects and shoot them using a variety of appropriate camera angles, shots, and framing.
Students are exposed to foundation concepts in non-linear video modification, film direction, and digital sound editing. They develop a basic proficiency with the tools and techniques available in standard digital video editing programs.
After shooting, the students edit a video sequence to synchronize it to a musical soundtrack or dialog, apply a variety of techniques for expanding or compressing the perception of time in a video sequence, add title sequences to a digital video and animate the sequences and perform basic production checks and output video in common formats. The work also includes applying basic techniques for mixing a soundtrack incorporating the human voice, ambient noise, sound effects, and music.
