COMM 2502 Introduction to Video Production
This course will introduce the student to the basics of planning, shooting, and editing video, with an emphasis on creating professional-quality short "packages" for use online or as part of a larger "magazine-type" show. At the end of the course, students should know how to plan a story, shoot it, edit it to specific length, and put a title and credits on it. Specifically, students should be able to operate a high definition video camera, including the basic elements of sound and lighting; how to plan a video shoot that includes the elements of visual storytelling and appropriate interviewing techniques; how to digitize what they have shot; and how to edit the video into a polished package of (typically) 1-2 minutes, including basic graphic elements such as character generation for names and titles.
