3.2 Production Classes
PortMedia production classes are basic production courses that offer hands-on training for PortMedia members and are offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
Completion of each class allows a member to reserve and use that portion of the facility. For example, after taking an edit class, a member may reserve edit time.
Pre-Production - Intimate, interactive classes on what it takes to produce videos, both in studio and in the field. Topics include budgeting for a project, equipment needs, working with volunteers, shooting to edit, and writing a script.
Field Production* - Camcorder basics and introduction to accessory equipment, such as microphones, to shoot productions on location. Upon completion, members can use the camcorder package to produce a program to be cablecast on the access channel.
Editing* - Digital editing basics. How to import, edit and export footage. Upon completion, members can use PortMedia editing equipment to produce a program to be cablecast on the access channel.
Studio* - How to direct, light, run camera system, audio engineer, and run the character generator. Upon completion, members can use the studio to produce a program to be cablecast on the access channel.
*Producers may test-out of these workshops provided they can prove proficiency.
