MY COURSE DESCRIPTION

DV studio 1 is an introductory level class into the world of filming. It teaches students how a camera works, as well as focuses on audio, lighting, and colors. Students will learn the fundamentals of film, how they are produced, and the processes to get to the film. You will be given the chance to make your own “amateur” videos, to produce into small films to watch in class. Students will learn to receive and give good feedback for their films, and learn how to use these critiques to better their craft. Anyone interested in an Arts and Humanities course would enjoy this, as it affects every of the majors. Communications for interviews, English majors for the stories a film can tell and the medium of which it tells it, and so on.
