Introduction
The JVC Camcorder class is designed to provide you with an understanding of field production,
as well as provide you with the operational skills necessary to participate in a production on
location as opposed to in a studio. We will cover the camcorder, other portable equipment and
how they relate to each other. Even if you only plan to use a camcorder, it's important you have
some idea of what other equipment is available and how that relates to your production.
This training will be primarily of an operational nature with a quick sojourn into technique. You
will not emerge from this class an expert crew person, but you will know the care quality of
CTN's equipment; Therefore having a foundation for the skills necessary to operate and
communicate as a member of a production crew. The best way for you to polish the techniques
learned would be to work on and volunteer for as many productions as you can.
