Film Crew

Video and Editing Certificate

UC San Diego Extension Digital Arts Center video production training includes the principles of storytelling, videography, motion graphics and audio. Today, a knowledgeable multimedia student has the power to create motion film titles and trailers, video, graphics and sound for TV, and corporate media, commercials for TV, radio and interactive media--all from a desktop or laptop computer.

Students will complete a series of projects developing rich media content, illustrating the history, current activities and future aspirations of non-profit organizations with podcasts, flash animations, streaming video of interviews and a mini-documentary. Completing these video production projects allows students to develop a valuable working portfolio while obtaining practical experience in real-world situations.
