Single Camera Video Production: Shooting in the Field

Learn from an award-winning filmmaker & Belmont resident Jay Fedigan, who will lead this 4-hour course will introduce you to the Mini DV camcorders BMC has to offer. The first session will introduce the equipment, with a follow up session where students bring in their own work to discuss technique and related issues. We will cover basic on-location production techniques including:

  • Site evaluation
  • Tripod use
  • Hand-held camera techniques
  • Shot composition
  • Camera movement
  • Audio
  • Lighting

We will work through typical filming scenarios to prepare members for their own productions. Members have the option of bringing their own camcorders for use with hands-on assignments.
