Through-out the presentation of the Visual Language workshops, MEDIAdvise offers a complete examination of equipment by teaching:

Lighting

Whether your photographers use one light, ten lights or no lights, there is a technique and a schematic that will get the most out of your video. MEDIAdvise conducts an extensive study of lighting designed to raise the quality of the image, featuring these specific topics:

·   adding by deleting. (when too much light is too much light)

·   using light to increase depth of field.

·   inexpensive gadgets every light kit should have.

·   effect lighting.

·   And more.

MEDIAdvise's "lighting for success" class will teach lighting techniques viewers will notice.

Camera Functionality

Cameras are sophisticated devices and no two are alike. Each manufacturer of cameras, lenses and recorders have their own nomenclature in which to learn and to become familiar. Even then, shooting environments change, sometimes, from shot to shot. Being comfortable with the equipment provides more comfort, creativity and more efficiency. MEDIAdvise will instruct your photographers how to use their cameras to get the most technically pleasing quality out of every shot.

Audio

Capturing quality natural and primary sound is one of the most important aspects of storytelling videography. Every picture has a sound, even if it's ambient room noise. Quality sounds defines location, identifies the picture and provides important information. Taking the effort to fully understand audio equipment and record quality sound is a vital step in producing a quality television product. MEDIAdvise will teach your photographers the importance and technique of recording quality sound.

Editing

Editors play a key role in the storytelling process. Regardless of the editing platform, MEDIAdvise supplies expertise from an array of sources designed to maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of your editors. We'll provide the instruction needed to increase functional knowledge of the editing equipment.
