Fairfax Collegiate

Video Production 7-9

Students plan, write, shoot, and edit their own films on digital video.

The course begins with exercises covering acting, script writing, storyboarding, shot listing, location scouting, camera operation, lighting, and sound.

The majority of the course is devoted to group production of two short films using tripods, advanced video cameras, boom microphones, costumes, props, and (optionally) lighting kits.

Students edit their films and export them to a private Vimeo account.
