On Location Photo, Video and Editing Workshop
Sun, Jul 26, 6:00 PM**Workshop Description** To really hone our skills, we have to get out of the classroom and shoot real situations. While there are a lot of classes, there are few opportunities to take theory out of the classroom and see how they work in real-world contexts. These workshops are designed to solve this exact problem. Each class will give students practical, hands-on experiences that can't be covered in the classroom. Also, each class will be limited to 5 students to ensure adequate instruction. Each class will take place at a unique Los Angeles location where we will shoot interiors as well as exteriors. These workshops are also a great opportunity to build a portolio. In these classes: \- Students can shoot photo or video\, or both \- We start with going over appropriate camera settings \- Then\, we'll scout the property to develop a shooting plan \- determine what needs to be shot\, what the shooting challenges might be\, how to handle various lighting conditions\, and what's the best order for shooting \- Afterwards\, we'll shoot the property with guidance at each step in the process \- Once done\, we'll sit and edit the day's work for an hour \- Total class time \- 3\.0 \- 3\.5 hours \(2 hours shooting\, 1 hour editing\. If editing is at a different location\, add 1/2 travel time\)\. \- What to bring \- Camera\, medium range lens \(24\-70mm\)\, wide angle lens\, stabilizer if shooting video\, laptop for editing\. Locations will likely not allow tripods\, so shooting will be handheld\. **Workshop Price - $90** \- Please contact to process payment **Additional Notes and Policies** \- Class size limited to 5 \- Please contact for exact location\, note location is subject to change \- Payment can be made directly via Zelle prior to workshop date \- Organizer reserves the right to cancel or reschedule as conditions require\. \- Attendees waive liability for any and all injuries or damages that may occur during the class \- Cancellations require 7\-day advance notice\.
