Intro to DV. More people are shooting in Digital Video than ever. Its easy, its cheap, and its high quality. Learn some basic theory, then shoot your footage and finally create your video. Taught by filmmakers Darcy Gladwin and Ben Murtagh, the two day Introduction to DV workshop is a practical guide to the process of shooting, digitising, editing and outputting Digital Video. Using MiniDV cameras (the most popular format amongst short filmmakers) and editing with Apple Mac Computers running Final Cut, the student gets to grips with the camera and edit-suite and takes home a final VHS edit. Basic theory of Digital Video is covered; this includes format comparison, an equipment overview, compression and decompression, avenues of screening, film-festivals, and web video.
