Sometimes as documentary filmmakers we need to fly solo. This course introduces technical solutions for working as a one-person crew, including basic video and audio techniques, production scenario case-studies, remote and socially distant filming options, and short exercises to simulate documentary scenarios. Designed for photographers, journalists, podcast producers, and other nonfiction professionals who are interested in incorporating video into their work, it is focused on the technical aspects and strategies for working alone. The first day will include an introduction to video basics and a field exercise. The second day will include an introduction to sound recording basics and time for individual assignments that will be recorded and viewed together. Each student will receive feedback on their camera and sound techniques.
Note: Previous photography and/or sound recording experience is beneficial. This course is held on campus at SVA.
