Description of course;
Documentary underwater video production:
This class will provide all the technical production elements involving the equipment and an emphasis to planning, filming and editing documentaries of real events or subjects. Underwater videography is easy to learn, fun to shoot and amazing to watch. This class is for the novice or more experienced underwater videographer to advance the level of knowledge and skill in capturing exciting footage and creating professional quality documentary productions. This class encompasses the details on current technologies of audio and video equipment. The essential tools of Electronic Field Production are video cameras, lens, underwater housings, audio equipment, blocking shots, lighting, color spectrum, filters, composition and digital non-linear editing. Learn the tips and tricks of the digital video age with emphasis on story telling. You will become very familiar with the elements of Electronic Field Production. You will have classroom work and then practically apply the theory to the skills portion of documentary video production. This class provides the students a powerful means of communication and persuasion with digital video as the medium. You can make a difference and help everyone around you see the underwater world with a finely tuned sense of awareness and joy as you learn your role in the production process of documentary video production.
