Intro to VIDEO Production
3.1 Introduction
Our third unit in this course covers video production. This unit is divided into two parts. The first serves as an introduction to editing software, where students will gain an overview of the tools and techniques used by editors. The second will cover the theory and process of film making, initiating students in the work that happens behind the scenes. From how to set up a tripod and handle a camera to the roles and responsibilities of a production crew, the various shots available, and how to write a script, this area of study lays the foundation of film making. |

2.Tutorial: Montage
What is a Montage? Montage is a technique of film editing that combines a series of short shots or clips into one sequence, often set to music. The word montage is French for “assembly” or “editing.”
Montage sequences often imply the passage of time or multiple simultaneous events, and are a vehicle to present the audience with a lot of information at once. Why use a montage? To speed up time. Convey a lot of information at once. Heighten tension. Combine multiple story lines. Reveal a character.

3.Tutorial: Jump Cut - Change Clothes Challenge
What is a jump cut?
A jump cut is an editing technique that cuts between two sequential shots. In these shots, the camera position doesn’t change (or only changes a small amount), but the subjects move, giving the appearance of jumping around frame. Jump cuts give the effect of moving forward through time.
