It's Laney College's Event Videography class that can put you behind the camera: Sports Video Production Mass Media 121 located in the theater on Tuesdays from 9-11 a.m. and Wednesday from 5-7:50 p.m.
Taught by Peralta TV technical director Jim Stein and KTVU Sports producer Peter Lupetti, the sports video class attempts to answer these questions: Have you, the student, ever wanted to know what it would feel like to be the one behind the camera lens? How about wanting to know what it feels like to conduct studio or location interviews? How about shooting a live sporting event?
The course tries to answer those questions and presents to students the perfect opportunity for those who prefer an exciting, live, and very hands-on experience when it comes to sports.
It's an introduction to the field of television sports. "This is the first year that students have really been interested in sports video production," Stein said.
The class gives students training in sports production, and it is an opportunity for them to audition for the Peralta TV network. "The employment rate is pretty good because of all the sporting networks around the world," Stein said.
The reason for Stein teaching this class is to give the students exposure to studio shows and live events that were not available in the past.
The class includes hands-on experience in multi-camera usage and live studio and remote production. It also includes instruction on how to conduct shooting and editing sports highlights features for field production. Students will write their own scripts, operate video cameras and write outlines for a studio-based sports talk. The course teaches students to operate and position video cameras and utilize equipment associated with field reporting and interviewing.
