OverviewThe Video Production course covers all aspects of Video Production including camera practice, lighting, sound, editing – linear and non-linear, and production. The course is project based and great emphasis is placed on teamwork. Students are required not only to produce and direct their own programmes but also crew and co-produce for their colleagues. This ensures that each student gains a wide expertise in all areas of production. No previous technical experience is necessary to join the course, just a genuine interest in the audiovisual and desire to visually express ones’ ideas.
