Open Media Sessions

Open Media Sessions are held Thursdays at 7pm at Davis Media Access. Please RSVP at cgaribay@davismedia.org for an estimated attendee count. If you've always been interested in film making, television shows or radio production, but have no idea where to start or have been frustrated with not getting things done, then this is the place for you. Every week, we'll cover one of the many topics that surround the hands-on process of community media. Through discussion, activities and presentations, we hope to provide you with the tools you need to create & distribute your own media. Here are some recent or upcoming topics: * Videotaping children and pets * Basic film editing with Final Cut * Learn new tricks and techniques * Hosting a live TV show * Upload content to the Internet * Technical advice and support * How to use the Green Screen * How to get started at DCTV * Creating Your Own Lego Movie * PC vs. Mac (basics mostly) * Purchasing a Video Camera * Basic Photo Editing * How to Interview For Film * Using Social Networks (facebook, blogspot, myspace, twitter, etc.) * Transferring your Videos into DVD & Youtube * Reaching your community * Podcasting and Vodcasting * All DIY areas of filmmaking * Team up with community producers * 'In The Field' training * Distributing your films Out One more thing, it's free, it's called public access, so anyone can participate, check us out!
