vp2-0. Introduction

​Now we get to the moment that you’ve all been waiting for, the actual shooting. The production phase is when you shoot the video.

By now, you’re getting a good sense of what’s involved besides pointing the camera and hitting record.

Every location, setup, and subject presents unique challenges. Plus, once you start filming, there are all kinds of details to stay on top of. So it’s essential to be organized and expect the unexpected.

What you will learn 
Topics we cover in the six production chapters include:
  • Production job skills
  • B-roll, script and shot list coordination
  • Shooting like you dream
  • Script updates
  • Lighting setups
  • Camera concepts and techniques
  • Sound priorities
  • Pacing your workload
​

Practice

Make a 1:00-2:00 video about what you expect. What has changed in your video-making plans since before you started this course?

So far, you have only used the video to plan and think about projects. Now you will learn skills to video your stories.
