Video Production
Overview
Learn to plan, shoot, and edit professional video from start to finish. You'll begin with your smartphone and CapCut, then progress to Canon DSLR cameras, studio lighting, and Adobe Premiere Pro — the industry-standard editing software.
The course covers scripting, storyboarding, camera operation, audio recording, editing, color grading, and publishing for platforms like YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Advanced students explore short-form content strategy, motion graphics in After Effects, and sound design — building a content portfolio ready for post-secondary or freelance work.
