What Will I Learn?

• Learn all the basics of professional videography...equipment selection, how to shoot, lighting, recording professional audio, tips they don't teach you in school, and how to be a professional. Please note that we will be discussing equipment and techniques for typical "Run & Gun"/ENG (Electronic News Gathering) type of productions. This is the most common type of production you will encounter in news, events, and AV type environments where the ability to move fast is key. For this reason we will be discussing all-in-one type camcorders with servo zoom lenses and not DSLR cameras with fixed focal length lenses.

Requirements
