A One-Day Video Production Workshop
Join MiND for a unique one-day workshop to learn video production basics from our expert instructors. You will learn about concept development, video production, editing, and just about everything you need to know to bring your ideas to TV.
Spend the morning with our instructors and learn about concept development and how to efficiently pre-produce a program idea. Make sure you come with an idea for a 5 minute program that we can discuss as a group!
We will take a short break and then jump right into shooting basics. Learn the primary functions of a video camera and how to properly frame a shot.
Spend the afternoon in smaller groups to get a crash course in editing and participate in a field shoot. One of your afternoon sessions will require you to actually pre-produce one of your program ideas, so make sure you come prepared!
