Video Production Minor (15 cr.)
You’ll master filmmaking techniques through experiential learning when you earn our undergraduate minor in Video Production.
Students use industry-standard equipment, advanced editing software, professional lighting techniques, and digital effects. Utilize field production techniques as you shoot interviews and narrative scenes to create documentaries and short narrative films.
Learn how to plan, shoot, edit, and deliver complex video productions. You’ll apply advanced lighting and photography techniques for a variety of conditions while putting into practice the principles of composition, continuity, cinematic space, and A/B roll editing. Prepare to develop story ideas, translate them into a visual medium, and structure them effectively using creative methods of information presentation and narrative storytelling.
