Video Training Basics -Documenting Reality / 2006
No rating yet
Synopsis: What is the “reality” we create and why?
Every shot has a point of view… why do we document it? This film explores the constructedness of reality and attempts to articulate the processes by which the camera’s viewpoint becomes the viewer’s version of reality, as it exists, out there, waiting to be absorbed, unchanged and unquestioned. The film delves into why and how certain “truths” are created and legitimized.
Video Training Basics - Module 1 (Camera) / 2004
No rating yet
Synopsis: The Camera, the first in the three-part series on Video Training Basics, looks at some simple but important principles to follow while using a video camera. Using the camera creatively cannot be easily slotted into a do's and don'ts video. The camera is often compared to the human eye. Yet, there is a great difference between how the eye creates a perspective and how we use the camera to perform like the eye.
Video Training Basics - Module 2 (Sound) / 2004
No rating yet
Synopsis: The Sound, the second part of the Video Training Basics, explores some basic principles of recording sound especially on location. Sound is an integral element in the creative actualization of reality on video. Sound waves bounce and reverberate in varying ways under different circumstances, a characteristic that makes it difficult to record. While the human ear distinguishes between sounds, the mike does not.
Video Training Basics - Module 3 (Editing) / 2004
5.0 / 1 votes
