Course Description
This intensive, onsite course is a pre-thesis practicum in the art and techniques of digital cinematography. This two-week course is held at a National University Learning Center and must be taken concurrently with MDC 683. Students work in production teams with digital cameras and lighting equipment in a variety of studio and exterior settings. During this course students apply such cinemagraphic techniques as camera movement, camera angles, continuity, and composition to shoot raw footage and make sound recordings that will be edited in the subsequent MDC 689 course. Footage shot during this course is included as a part of the MDC-DC digital portfolio. (An equipment rental fee applies to this course. For onsite residency details see the program catalog description.)
