Media Production Lab

3 Credits · Level: Graduate, Undergraduate

In this short intensive course, taught over one-and-a-half weeks, participants learn the foundational skills and technologies of media production. Topics include storyboarding, audio and video recording, frame composition, media editing, and digital content. The course targets students with no production experience. No previous technical knowledge is required. Working in small groups, participants will shoot, edit, and produce a video short. The projects will be developed alongside class discussions of media aesthetics, digital workflow, and production design.This blend of projects and lectures provide participants with a basic understanding of media production practices while encouraging the development of hands-on technical skills. Throughout the course and in final reflections, participants are encouraged to consider how these skills can be applied as educational, research, and communication strategies.
