CS 130 Digital Video Production

Smartphones have given rise to Citizen Video. In this course, students can start producing their citizen videos for distribution on YouTube and other social media platforms. The course will introduce students to the techniques and aesthetics of digital video production. Students will learn about the creative process of creating audiovisual texts: camerawork, lighting, art direction, set design, costume design, sound design, editing, and how they all contribute to the visual language. Students will produce short movies using varying real-life scenarios and publish them to their YouTube account. Through a hands-on approach and critical analysis, students will learn and understand how messages are successfully and unsuccessfully crafted, targeted, and delivered through digital audio/visual media.
