Credits: 3

Working on location is the hallmark of creating compelling and beautiful video-based projects for clients. In that vein, this course offers instruction, professional examples, and assignment-based projects specific to the challenges of location-based video projects. Logistical issues such as permitting, private and public property permissions, and equipment specific to shooting on location, as well as weather protection, the use of generators as power sources, location lighting, and grip equipment are important elements to be discussed and implemented. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have researched and chosen a difficult location for video production, created a logistical plan of action for an assignment, used location-specific equipment, used scripts and storyboards, and completed a selected component for photographing and completing the video project.
