We
currently offer five workshop classes at Napa Valley TV:
-
Producer's Orientation - Have you noticed that many of the people
you know in Napa are on local cable Channel 28 and/or Channel 27?
That's because they have found out about the benefits of getting their
message out to the community through the television medium. This
non-technical, one hour class will cover the policies and procedures of
access television and is the first step towards your own show.
(Class Fee: $10 for members, N/A for non-residents)
-
Television Production Workshop - In this 3-hour workshop, students
will learn the fundamentals of television production. Use of the video
camera operation and terminology, shot composition, use of tripods,
basic lighting, audio, and script outlines will be covered. Successful
completion of this class will allow students to serve as crewmembers at
the Napa Valley TV studio. It will also allow them the ability to check
out field camera equipment for on-location productions. (Class
Fee: $30 for members ($60 for non-residents/non-members)
