Schedule
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents
Introductory course to camera techniques (analogue, digital and "lighting" elements ), sound recording (type ENG and docu), video editing (DV25, DVcam and HDV on Avid Media Composer), sound mixing for video and a scene's "audio background".
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
1.Now: to understand the fundamental notions of sound and video image techniques - in the current digital and computer environment - in order to acquire technical knowledge and a command of the tools. Why? On the one hand, to allow you to succeed in all the exercises within the framework of your various Professional Practices courses at the university and, on the other hand, to make you rapidly operational during your placement in a company or institution.
2.Tomorrow: by acquiring technical knowledge, you will become well-informed, independent and pertinent interlocutors with professionals in the audiovisual world: directors, producers, sound and image engineers and post-production specialists.
Defending the meaning and the contents by better defining the field of the technology and its limits, inevitably involves knowledge of its rules and the players involved.
Prerequisite knowledge and skills
Knowledge of cinematographic means.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Making a "remake" of a film sequence filmed in video or making a TV subject.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning)
The course includes 14 x 2-hours sessions, every Wensday from 10:00 to 12:00 AM, in the Lumière room. (1st session Wen. 19/09/2018.)
Recommended or required readings
In principle, no theory. Insofar as it is possible, the course is based on the perception of AUDIO-VISION in order to deal with the fundamental notions and techniques; therefore, it is essential to attend the classes. Summary sheets and operating guides will help you to structure your notes. You will be sent a bibliography of high-level reference works for those of you who want to examine the principles at work in current digital audio and video (SD and HD) technologies.
