What is the main goal for this project?

How will you support learners in completing the project?

Students will utilize the equipment provided if needed. There will be opportunities to learn from experienced subject matter experts for mentoring and job shadowing at certain events.

Students will have access to use authorized content to build their portfolio. Students can

expect to participate in weeky to bi-weekly events.

What skills or technologies will help learners to complete the project?

1. Technical Proficiency: Videographers should have a solid understanding of camera

operation, lighting techniques, audio recording, and video editing software. This technical

expertise allows them to capture high-quality footage and produce professional-looking videos.


2. Creativity and Artistic Vision: A keen eye for framing shots, understanding of composition,

and an ability to tell a story visually are crucial for videographers. Creativity and artistic vision help them to create compelling and engaging videos that effectively convey a message or

evoke emotions.


3. Communication and Collaboration: Videographers often work with clients, directors, or other team members, so strong communication and collaboration skills are essential. This includes

the ability to interpret a client's vision, take direction, and work effectively as part of a team to

bring a project to life.
