Workshops > Digital Video Production


Description and Goals

 

Attend the five-day Digital Video Production workshop, August 11-15, 2008, at a cost of $500, at RIT/NTID in Rochester, NY. The workshop will be held daily from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM.

 

The use of digital video is growing and becoming more popular. Digital video technology now has better quality, become more affordable, and much easier to use. This is a basic digital video workshop that will introduce the participants to the process and procedures involved in digital video production from start to finish. including planning, shooting, and post production editing.. However, this workshop in "visual storytelling" and "production" will explore some emphasis from a "deaf perspective." For example, sound is an essential element in traditional video production and many editing cues are keyed to "sound bites." However, from a deaf perspective, the awareness of signing, it's clarity, is as much of a technical challenge and editing cue, as it is an esthetic consideration.
