Intermediate Multimedia

Find, shoot and produce more advanced multimedia stories using photography, audio and video interviews

Nacho CorbellaBuilding on the Introduction to Multimedia workshop, Intermediate Multimedia explores the most commonly used tools of multimedia storytelling in greater depth. Students find, shoot and produce multimedia stories using still and video cameras during a week that includes intense daily critiques, lectures and demonstrations.

Students learn the basics of shooting video interviews and setting up audio for those interviews. Principals of integrating stills and audio with video are also discussed in detail. Additionally, students are introduced to Apple’s Final Cut Pro as a means to edit and produce the stories they shoot.

Students should have a strong grasp of photography before attending this class. Students are also encouraged to have a basic understanding of video principles, audio content gathering and Final Cut Pro workflow.
