This class is a prerequisite for all other classes offered by LexMedia. 

  Field Production Part 1, on June 12 from 7-9pm During this two-hour course you will receive hands on instruction with our Sony NX70U HD cameras. The class teaches the basic skills of field production including camera operation, camera movement, tripod use, working with talent, aesthetics of production and more.  The completion of this class enables the new LexMedia members to take the Field Production part 2 class.   

Field Production Part 2, on June 19 from 7-9pm. In this class we will set up a typical interview scenario.  We’ll then light it with classic 3 point lighting and also set up and adjust the audio recording system.  By experimenting with the lighting and trying various microphones you will get a good sense of what works best and why.  After taking this class the LexMedia member is now certified to use our portable production equipment.
