Summer Video Institute
Working with state-of-the-art technology, students design, shoot and edit films of their own creation.
June 24-29
The Summer Video Institute (SVI) at DeSales offers students an introduction to the theories and techniques of digital movie making. Working with state-of-the-art technology, students will design, shoot and edit films of their own creation. Projects will focus on equipment and video techniques. Each student will produce their own film and contribute to a larger scale production. The days will include lectures on such topics as equipment training, Photoshop, green screen, composition, sound and editing software, to name a few. At the end of the program, the final films are celebrated in a festival screening open to invited guests.
Students may commute or residence will be provided. If any student is interested in the residential option, the rates are as follows:
- Six days lodging in an on-campus residence hall, double occupancy - $300 per week
- Meal plan for six days including breakfast, lunch, and dinner - $200 per week
Tuition
- $990 tuition + $100 deposit + $25 application fee = $1,115
- Room $300 + Board $200 (+ above total $1,115) = $1,615
College Credit
Upon successful completion of each program, each student with a high school graduation date of 2021 or prior will be eligible to receive three college-level credits.
