FVDO 200 - Production Studio

Description
Students learn the fundamentals of image formation and exposure, safe operation of film and video cameras and lenses, and the setup of location lighting and sound. The course introduces electrical safety for lighting equipment, including power distribution, load planning, and safe rigging practices. In studio sessions and on location, learners plan, shoot, and record short narrative pieces that integrate camera control, lighting design, microphone selection, and clean audio capture. Teams practice visual and sonic storytelling from pre-production through delivery, reflect on results, and refine techniques. By the end of the course, each team delivers portfolio ready short projects that demonstrate technical competence and creative intent.
