  1. Video Production Workshop Cameras

  2. Questions? • Write down three things you want to learn.

  3. Six Steps to Video Production • Concept • Development • Pre - Production • Production • Post – Production • Review

  4. Step 1: Concept • The controlling idea or theme of a production. • The working title of a project. • What is my story about? • Ten words or less.

  5. Step 2: Development • Research and gather information • Schedule interviews and shoot dates • Create an outline • Brainstorm production ideas

  6. Step: 3 Pre - Production • Check all equipment • Gather all photos or graphics • Finalize game plan • More time spent on these first steps, the better the outcome.

  7. Step 4: Production • Good Sound, Good Video • Arrive early • Use a tripod • Make every shot count • B-roll • Double check audio settings • Wear headphones during interviews • Good Sound, Good Video

  8. White Balance • White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic color casts, so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your video. • In other words: No blue video • Zoom in on something white and press AWB button

  9. Iris • The amount of light entering the lens • Iris up when dark • Iris down when bright • CAUTION: Do not trust auto Iris • Use your “Gain” in very dark situations

  10. Tripod • The cameras best friend • When do I use a tripod? • Attaching a camera to the tripod • Remember: steady shots = good video

  11. Sequencing • Foundation of video storytelling • Wide, Medium, Tight • Compress time in a video story • Anticipate the action • Where’s the action headed • Shoot the action then reaction

  12. Rule of Thirds • The most important elements are placed where these lines intersect.

  13. Rule of Thirds • Avoid placing subjects in that middle square, and you have followed the rule of thirds.

  14. Just Say No Zooms and Pans • Zooms and Pans = Lazy Production • Practice Wide, Medium and Tight shots. • No one wants to be sick when watching your video.

  15. Lighting • 3 point lighting • Key Light • Fill • Back Light

  16. Key light • Main light • Strongest and has the most influence • Placed to one side of the camera

  17. Fill • Secondary light, opposite side of key light • Fills the shadows created by the key • Less bright than the key.

  18. Back Light • Placed behind the subject • Provides definition and subtle highlights • Helps separate the subject from the background

  19. Interviews • Names and titles • Arrive early • Be prepared with 5 good questions • Ask “why” or “how” come when given one word answers. • Conduct interviews first if possible

  20. Microphones • Lapels • Handheld Stick • Shotgun

  21. What Mic do I use, when? • Lapels – always used for news show anchors, sit-down interviews. • Handheld Stick – On the spot • Shotgun – attached to camera for “nat” sound

  22. B-Roll • Get enough • Set your shots, then record. • Shoot away from windows • Wide, Medium, Tight sequences • Nat sound • No Zoom • Shoot what was mentioned in interview

  23. Step 5: Post - Production • Label your tapes • Watch your video and log • Write your story • A-Roll all audio portions of story • B-Roll over voice over portions • Review project

  24. Review • Feedback and critique • The whole class should participate • Have students watch classmate reactions • Take notes
