Includes video lab time in between classes. Please plan on working in between classes, which means carving out 3-4 hours a week outside of class to work on this, if you want to make a great quality video!

You need to make a video that gets the word out about your organization or nonprofit. (IE. you’re doing an IndieGogo, Fundable or Kickstarter campaign.) You’ve got a consumer-grade HD video camera, a tripod and a computer that has some really basic editing software. How do you use these tools to put together something that actually looks good?

• Session 1
  • The story and the plan, and how to best use the camera you’ve got.
  • What’s reasonable vs. what’s possible.
• Session 2
  • The interview or the script and preparing to film your project
  • The importance of good sound and how to get it.
  • Lighting basics.
• Session 3
  • Recording the talent.
  • What to do with the footage now that you’ve gotten it.
• Session 4
  • The rough-cut.
  • Edit. Watch. Repeat.

• Session 5
  • Titles, transitions and sound effects.
• Session 6
  • Critique and how to publish your piece
