Fairfax Collegiate

Video Production 7-9

Students shoot and complete rough edits of films based on scripts from scriptwriting classes and other sources.

The class begins with readings and exercises that cover working with actors, script analysis, storyboarding and shot listing, location scouting, camera operation, lighting, and sound technique.

The majority of the course is devoted to group production of a short DV film.

Students export rough edits to private Vimeo accounts for home viewing.
