Module 2 – Create with intention: master digital audiovisual

Module 2 was held concurrently in Montreal and Ottawa, led by two audiovisual professionals.
Through demonstrations and practical exercises, participants learned to:

• understand essential camera settings and the logic of framing (shots, angles, stability),
• use light as a vector of atmosphere and emotion,
• improve sound quality and master the basics of recording,
• discover simple editing principles to give rhythm and clarity to their videos.

Each group also had the opportunity to test these concepts in real-life conditions, with personalized support and group feedback.
