Welcome to Video Fundamentals, a mini-course available through the Multimedia Tour! Within our ever-growing digital landscape, video has become one of the main mediums through which people absorb content, share their thoughts, and tell their stories. The reach that a compelling video can have is enough to entertain, spark meaningful discussions, and/or create change. To ensure that your message or story achieves its full potential, it is important to understand the three key stages of video production: pre-production, production, and post-production. In this mini-course, we will take a closer look at these three stages and explore the aspects of video creation that contribute to compelling content.
