Aims and Fit of Module

The module will equip students with the technical skills required to operate camera, microphones and basic battery-powered lighting equipment, providing them with a sense of the range of technical options they have when tackling a production brief and instructing them on different shooting techniques. It will reinforce the importance of safe working practices, teaching students how to ensure electrical safety and how to conduct practical troubleshooting during equipment use. The module will also enable them to develop an understanding of the video editing process and to acquire the basic skills to edit a short 90-second project from start to finish. It will also allow students to learn how to control different aspects of the production process in a timely and efficient manner.
