Video Basic Tools is a required class for Photography and TIME-Digital Arts. It is also an open elective class for fine art credit in all majors and for second year foundation students. Using the tools of video, computer graphics, audio and other electronic media, this course focuses on the design elements and thought processes inherent in effective audio/visual communications. Hands-on approach features work in videography, lighting, audio production and mixing, and video editing, as well as support activities such as scripting, research, brainstorming and storyboarding.

This course is intended to be an introduction to a very broad area, rather than an in-depth concentration in one subject. 3 credits. An external Firewire drive is required for this class.
