=Introduction=

This unit introduces students to the processes of audio-video **pre-production, production, and post-production**. Students learn basic **shot sizes**, **camera movements**, and **special effects** to create a **storyboard** and to script audio-video material. Students compose and **capture** images, **edit** audio-video footage, and apply **finishing operations** before presenting the production to an audience. The safe and careful handling of sensitive equipment is emphasized. Students learn to apply **ethical standards and policies** in their productions while exploring further education and career opportunities.


 * Proper "Video Production" can be broken down into the following three stages:**

Overview of Stages of Video Production
Video Production is typically broken down into the following stages:
 * STAGE ONE:
 * Pre-Production** || Pre-Production is all about **effectively planning the FORMAT and CONTENT** of your production. Although it's EASIER to simply "wing it" and start shooting without planning, experienced producers know that the final **UNPLANNED** product WILL be:
 * Inferior and amateurish
 * Harder to edit, and may require re-shoots
 * Take more time to produce, and
 * Leave the producer with regrets

It's FAR cheaper to plan and "test out" your ideas on paper, before committing to the costly and time consuming process of shooting (production) and editing (post production) your video. Pre-Production requires that you:
 * Identify the "Target Audience"
 * Define the final product, it's format and length
 * Define the concept and specific content
 * **Storyboard** **Storyboard****Storyboard****Storyboard****Storyboard****Storyboard****Storyboard****Storyboard****Storyboard****Storyboard** your shots, and Script your dialogue
 * Assign time-lines, areas of responsibility and identify and book required resources ||
 * STAGE TWO:
 * Production** || Set the stage, and shoot your "footage". If you're skillful at production, you'll be mindful of the things amateur productions don't pay attention to:
 * Lighting
 * Audio
 * Framing
 * Shots and Camera-work
 * Lead In and Lead Out ||
 * STAGE THREE:
 * Post Production** || Editing the footage can be the most time consuming part of the process, and offers the most effective opportunities to enhance the production and give it a "professional" feel by adding:
 * Select or "trimmed" clips from your footage
 * Transitions between clips (be mindful of K.I.S.S.)
 * Audio elements
 * Music
 * Voice Over Dialogue
 * Sound Effects
 * Titles and Credits
 * Text and Graphic overlays
 * Composited clips like green-screened elements or matte elements
 * Special effects and filters that can clean up, or modify the original video clips Post Production also involves rendering and publishing the final product to the desired output format like DVD or web-friendly files ||
