AV Club is an interactive experience, combining industry standard software and techniques. Students will combine their knowledge of core classes and electives to understand the basics of Pre-Production, Production and Post Production. This, combined with AV and Narrative script writing, Cinematography, Live Broadcasting, Documentary Filmmaking, Narrative Filmmaking, Live Show Production and Live Event Directing gives students the tools for team building and leadership experience for careers and educational opportunities after graduation.

Filmed on Kodak Vision3 250D
16mm film

This film was achieved by learning filmmaking styles and processes from pre-production, production and post production. The film cost money every second, it is essential that the student knows every step of filmmaking and how to run a camera properly. The camera is a non-reflex Bolex. This means we cannot see what the lens will capture, only assume with an Octometer. Focus and exposure are calculated manually, having to actually measure the distance of the camera to the subject and use a light meter. All sound is recorded separately, requiring syncing in the edit.

This film was filmed, HAND DEVELOPED and scanned at Mascoma!

Because we're awesome!
