Audiovisual Language!

My favorite class this semester is called Audiovisual Language. In this class we are taught to use audiovisual equipment (cameras, microphones, etc.) so that we may be able to produce our own films/shows with this equipment.

In terms of the camera, we learn about the different shots that exist, as well as the angles and movements that one can use. In terms of sound, we learn about the different types of microphones that exist and about the best way to get the sound that one is looking for. Once we learn the essentials about this equipment, we learn about the different programs that can be used in the postproduction of a movie or show, about editing and synchronizing the material.

I like this class because it is dynamic, it is a class where we learn many different things and it is hands-on. Also, knowing how to use this equipment is a very important tool for a career in communications in the modern day. Lastly, these classes are also useful outside of the University if one has personal projects.
