As far as curriculum (in very general terms), we jump start our students with some basic edits with prerecorded clips in the first year, then move on to photography (including a timelapse/stopmotion assignment), then to audio with some vox-pop and live radio show/podcast type stuff, then finally back to video with an interview, another vox-pop, a recipe/how it’s made assignment and a news report. They finish the undergrad with a 10min documentary. I think this sets them up with the basic skills and a rudimentary understanding of what goes into producing video from a technical standpoint (not that much emphasis on the content as there perhaps should be. Keep in mind this is not a j-school program but media production in general and they presumably handle other aspects in courses I don’t have anything to do with. And then there’s typography, animation, DTP, web design/programming etc. to cover other media.

In masters we kick off with a live streamed, 3 camera studio production, continue with a 3-6 cam live event recording edited individually in post (they usually go for concerts in small venues), then followed by a short chroma key feature and a fiction short for the finish.

It’s interesting to see how other schools do video but with sometimes vast differences in the overall approach I find it’s usually not that easy to apply anything directly but just the general idea. I like the two assignments given by Lih but I’m not sure I could use them in any way. But I’ll definitely think about it.
