Video Production for Real People : Conference-Seminar

Time: 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm
Cost: $50 for BDA members, $70 for non-members

If you want to increase your real-world video production skill set, then this class is for you! We will go through a typical video production kit (complete with lights), cover camera basics, shot selection, and ways to shoot so that you won’t have to "fix it in post."

As time allows, we will also discuss visualizing your idea (pre-production), and larger budget production projects.

This workshop covers:

* Camera operation: how to set-up and operate a professional video production camera, and shoot like a pro - goodbye zooms (and why)!

* Shot com how to frame your subject in an interesting and aesthetically pleasing way, as well as specific photographic principles.

* Exposure control: understanding f-stops, how the iris affects exposure, using zebras effectively, shutter speed, and gain.

* White Balance: how to overcome the all-too-common problem of an incorrect white balance. But wait there’s more!: Understanding color temperatures, and using them correctly and creatively (so that it doesn’t come back to bite you).

* Lighting: Principles of good lighting, ratios, different kinds of light (Rembrandt light, hard light vs. soft light, side light, back light, and more!), different light sources, the 3-light setup, how to use everyday fixtures and light on the cheap.
