In this workshop we will work with “traditional” broadcast camcorders and will cover technical and visual strategies for shooting broadcast news, documentary and other nonfiction genres. We will learn how to use menus, a monitor, lenses, matte box and filters. Advanced uses of time code, broadcast safe exposure levels and camera input and output will be covered. We will work on skills such as focus pulling, handheld camera, basic audio recording, how to use available light and/ or artificial lighting to our advantage. Protocol for working with producers, directors and editors will be addressed.

Intensive hands-on exercises and discussion of work samples by participants and instructor will provide further insight. Participants will gain technical and practical knowledge in the field of advanced videography in a relatively short time. Some basic knowledge of videography as well as a lot of interest and curiosity are required.
