Reading, MA – RCTV Studios is excited to announce that registration is now open for its Summer Workshops! These workshops, held at Reading Memorial High School in our classroom/production space, offer students ages 10-17 the opportunity to explore video production and photography.
Photography Workshop Students will learn or refresh their understanding of photography basics, including camera settings, depth of field, shot composition, and movement. They will explore various styles of photography, such as street photography, portraits, and food photography. This class can be adapted to suit intermediate and advanced students.
Video Production Workshop Participants will gain hands-on video recording experience using RCTV’s professional camera equipment. They will also develop post-production skills with tools such as Celtx, Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, and Photoshop. This workshop will culminate in a final project suitable for television and YouTube. The class can be adjusted to meet the needs of more advanced students.
