Video Post-Production

3 units

While post-production of the soundtrack has been around for years, post-production of the visual track has increasingly become a major phase in the video and movie-making process. It often allows filmmakers to enhance existing footage with potentially dazzling results. As in all our production courses, we will be concerned with developing strong content. The focus is not on special effects per se, but rather on how they may be used to enhance the message. Students find a non-profit organization of vital importance in need of exposure and produce a Public Service Announcement to be broadcast. Key post-production software like Commotion, AfterEffects, and Motion are explored throughout the semester.
