Shooting for the Web

with Simon Walker.

Do you need to shoot and edit footage specifically for the internet and for mobile devices?

This course will teach you the process of scripting, shooting, editing and uploading of video for viewing/distributing on line.

We will cover basics and touch upon the more advanced features of shooting on Sony EX1/3 cameras, editing on Adobe Premiere Pro and outputting and uploading for the internet.

• Learn how to shoot on Sony EX3 cameras with a view to web and mobile distribution
• Learn how to set-up and shoot interviews, as well as planning a story arc
• Learn to edit on a Mac using Adobe Premiere Pro
• Gain a basic understanding of sound editing, applying effects and generating titles
• Prepare and encode films for distribution on the web
• Methods to promote and add attract traffic to films and content
• Also a benefit to intermediate film-makers who want to distribute high quality video on the web and raise their production values

This shooting / editing / uploading course covers, over three days, the approach for planning and structuring a film, practical training with the cameras and shooting kit, settings and camera moves that work well for on-line video, training in PPro editing, incorporating and editing audio, colour-correcting shots and methods of on-line delivery. Simon also provides useful resources such as notes, software information and video training clips, that highlight the key techniques of editing in PPro, as well as providing extra information surrounding the course.

You'll be shooting with Sony EX3 camera kits, but also included in the course is practical advice about how to deal with the gotchas that occur when dealing with other cameras (such as HD SLR workflows).
