Event Overview
Whether you are a professional photographer looking to grow your video skills or just want to learn how to shoot fun videos of family and friends, this class if for you!
The class will cover:
- how to navigate the buttons on your camera (auto vs. manual focus, lens zoom, formatting SD memory card, recording, etc.)
- how to set up and use a tripod and/or monopod
- lighting (how to use natural light and avoid poorly lit shots)
- most important shots to get (establishing, medium, close-ups, and interviews)
- sequencing (creating a narrative with your shots)
- interview set up (how to get great sound)
Dabblers should bring their own cameras (if they have one) and be prepared to practice shooting video — everyone should leave with a good understanding of how to shoot video on their own camera and the elements of a great video!
To learn how to edit the video together, Dabblers should consider taking Intro to Video Editing (iMovie and Final Cut Pro).
