Course Description
MCS-225. Digital Video I: Non-Linear Digital Video Editing and Compositing. Prof. Scranton Digital Video I will focus on non-linear digital video editing, compositing, and titling. Students will be introduced to the software assuming no prior knowledge; however, students should possess a strong understanding of the basic principles of video (analog and digital) covered in MCS-220, 210, and/or 212. Topics covered will range from basic editing styles, strategies, and techniques to more advanced processes such as compositing, special effects, and title design. The primary focus of this course will be on editing; however, students will also produce a final short video that will include all stages of production: pre-production, production, post-production, and a final compressed version for the web. Along with the creative productions and group critiques, readings, writing assignments and viewings will also be an integral portion of this course. Prerequisite: MCS-210, 212, or 220 or permission of instructor. Three hours of lecture and two hours of lab per week. Four semester hours.
