Two-day course: 10.00 - 16.30 each day

Aim

The use of video in education has ceased to be an occasional occurrence, but the quality of videos has not kept pace with their popularity. This course is intended to instil basic competence in the many areas of knowledge that are needed to produce good video work. A hands-on approach is taken, such that during the two days of learning about video techniques the participants will actually produce two short videos. All equipment and facilities will be supplied.

PLEASE NOTE: This is a two-day course. Course fees are as follows:

• £275 for participants from UK Higher or Further Education
• £325 for participants from government, charities, libraries, galleries or museums
• Prices for all other participants are available on request
