Lesson 4 • Composition and Framing

Applies visual design principles to photographic composition. Students frame shots that are immediately compelling and purposeful.

Lesson 1 • Audio Editing and Noise Reduction

Teaches cutting, fading, and cleaning audio tracks. Students remove unwanted noise while preserving natural sound quality.

Lesson 2 • Mixing and Mastering for Media

Applies EQ, compression, and level balancing to create a polished mix. Students deliver audio that meets loudness standards for each platform.

Lesson 3 • Microphone Types and Placement

Identifies microphone polar patterns and their ideal use cases. Students select and position mics to capture clean source audio.

Lesson 4 • Recording Environments and Acoustics

Explains how room acoustics affect recording quality. Students treat and choose spaces to minimise unwanted reflections.

Lesson 1 • Scriptwriting and Storyboarding

Covers script formats and visual storyboarding for video projects. Students translate ideas into actionable production documents.

Lesson 2 • Audio Capture on Set

Covers boom operation, lavalier placement, and field recording. Students capture clean production audio that reduces post-production work.

Lesson 3 • Lighting for Video Production

Adapts lighting principles to moving image scenarios. Students build consistent, controllable lighting setups for interviews and scenes.

Lesson 4 • Directing Talent and Managing a Shoot

Teaches communication with on-camera talent and crew coordination. Students run efficient shoots that stay on schedule and on brief.

Lesson 1 • Audio Post-Production in Video

Mixes dialogue, music, and sound effects within the video timeline. Students deliver a balanced, platform-ready audio mix.

Lesson 2 • Cutting Techniques and Pacing

Covers cut types, rhythm, and narrative pacing in the edit. Students shape footage into a coherent, engaging story.

Lesson 3 • Export and Delivery Specifications

Covers codec selection, bitrate, and platform-specific export settings. Students deliver files that meet technical requirements without quality loss.

Lesson 4 • Non-Linear Editing Workflow

Introduces the NLE interface, project setup, and media ingestion. Students organise footage and build a structured editing workflow.

Lesson 5 • Titles, Graphics, and Motion Elements

Covers lower thirds, title cards, and animated graphic elements. Students integrate motion graphics that enhance rather than distract.

Lesson 1 • Keyframe Animation and Graph Editor

Covers keyframe placement and velocity control using the graph editor. Students produce smooth, precise animations with full timing control.

Introduces the twelve principles of animation and their application to motion graphics. Students animate with intention and natural-feeling motion.

Lesson 1 • Distribution and Platform Optimisation

Covers platform-specific requirements for publishing multimedia content. Students optimise and publish deliverables for maximum reach and performance.

Lesson 2 • Project Planning and Scheduling

Covers scope definition, task breakdown, and timeline creation. Students build realistic production schedules that account for review cycles.

Lesson 3 • Collaboration and Review Workflows

Establishes processes for sharing work, collecting feedback, and managing revisions. Students reduce revision cycles through structured review protocols.

Lesson 4 • Quality Control and Technical Review

Defines QC checklists for audio, video, and graphic deliverables. Students catch technical errors before final delivery.
