In this Industry Certificate, held over 6 Weekends and 7 Tuesday evenings at AFTRS, you’ll develop the technical camera knowledge, confidence and practical skills that are essential to operate as a successful TV Shooter/Producer.
Delivered by a highly experienced TV Shooter/Producer, this course will include extensive hands-on experience with a range of different equipment, television production theory, practical excursions, and presentations from industry guests. The course will primarily utilise Sony FS7 cameras.
This course has been designed to give students the knowledge, confidence and solid foundation skills in what is an increasingly valued and sought-after role.
Develop and practice the essential camera and audio skills a Shooter/Producer needs in order to deliver useable, professional standard, broadcast quality footage.
Learn the fundamental production knowledge required to be an effective Shooter Producer including how to balance and manage the broad technical, organisational and creative requirements.
Learn the fundamentals of data wrangling and rushes labelling in the field, and understanding what the post-production dept needs.
The TV Shooter Producer Industry Certificate is ideal for production staff who want to upskill to become competent at recording quality video and sound on set and location.
It has a technical focus, and includes a range of practical exercises so students can consolidate their skills shooting in uncontrolled/unscripted situations.
The course covers:
This is NOT an advanced Cinematography course and does not cover drama camera crew skills. If you are interested in developing skills in Drama camera operation we suggest the Camera Assisting Industry Certificate. If your focus is on becoming an all-rounder/digital content creator we suggest the Content Creator Industry Certificate which includes post production, and uses less complex cameras. If you want a short introductory camera course try our Camera and Sound Fundamentals course.
No previous experience with camera is necessary for this course, but some knowledge and experience of TV production will be advantage as there will be some assumed knowledge.
