What makes a great music video? Is it the camera angles, motion, cuts, or effects? In this class we will work with footage shot during live concerts at the De la Luz Soundstage. Each week we will go through the process of reviewing and organizing footage, selecting a song, and editing the film to create a live concert video. Students will become acquainted with video editing software Final Cut Pro and Adobe Premier in our new media lab. The final product will be posted online and your name will be in the credits.

Class sessions are twice/week, with optional but highly encouraged longer sessions on some Fridays to learn to operate the cameras. Motivated students will be invited to join the camera crew and get hands-on experience shooting video during live concerts at the De la Luz Soundstage.
