Basic Camera Schedule:

Monday

7:00 pm - 7:30 pm

How to operate digital camera? The essentials: get that sun off his face--exposure, focusing and white balancing-– get it right first time. Understand those functions and the menus—no fear—camera is a great tool to tell stories

7:30 pm - 8:30 pm

Shooting for continuity – basic screen grammar: viewing scenes of masters-- 180 degree rule---camera left, camera right movement---movement in the frame --- take it away.

8:30 pm - 8:40 pm Break – have a chocolate, a nut or a chili dog--chase it with a drink.

8:40 pm - 10:00 pm

Roll up your sleeves and shoot your exercise using tripod or hand held---your choice. Select the shots and call the action---let it roll.

Instructor will walk you through every shot – don’t worry we thought of that, so we compiled the list of shots that best demonstrates Continuity Shooting.

Tuesday

7:00 pm - 8:30 pm continue shooting on advanced level----master the skills.
8:30 pm - 8:40 pm Break --- but wait -- if you at this point you are not comfortable – let’s review and then have a burger.
8:40 pm - 10:00 pm Back at the editing room—instructor captures your footage and edits your exercise with you. This is very valuable time because now it explains it why certain shots were selected. View, review, sweeten and print to video. Cheers --- you have a videotape with your first shot project
  Note: if you are taking Basic Editing with Basic Camera class you will be able to edit this exercise by yourself
