Invited Guest Lectures

This one-day invited workshop introduced live-action filming and video editing to a group of participants with no prior experience in media production.

Adapted from curriculum materials originally developed for university-level courses in Video Editing and Digital Composition, the session provided an accessible entry point into cinematic storytelling through practical, hands-on instruction.

Editing and Writing

Department of Visual Design,

Suwon Women’s University — Suwon, South Korea

Aug 7, 2025

​​

This invited workshop delivered a full-cycle introduction to practical filmmaking and narrative construction, blending interview-based production with on-site pre-production planning and editing strategy.

​

Unlike the lecture-based format at UConn, this session operated as an active studio module, guiding participants through:

  • Interview Design & Question Framing — writing with the edit in mind

  • Collaborative Pre-Production in Live Settings — location assessment, shot planning, role assignment

  • Hands-on Filming Supervision — supporting student crews in real-time decision-making

  • Editing Workflow Planning — teaching how footage is structured before entering post-production

 

The workshop emphasized editing as a writing process, enabling visual design students to treat cameras and timelines not just as tools, but as extensions of narrative authorship. Participants left with both recorded interview footage and a structured editing blueprint prepared for post-process completion.

Basic Video Production

Department of Plant Science and Landscape Architecture,
University of Connecticut — Storrs, CT

Sep 17, 2025

​

This one-hour invited lecture introduced foundational concepts in live-action video production to students outside of media disciplines. Designed specifically for non-film majors within agriculture and landscape architecture, the session focused on how interviews and podcasts can be created using editing tools and understanding the industrial standards in live-action production.

​

The lecture covered:

  • Fundamentals of shot composition

  • How editing structures meaning through sequencing (e.g., coverage, b-roll, rhythm)

  • Practical frameworks for documenting spaces, processes, and field work through video

Structured as an accessible, theory-centered presentation, the session provided students with immediately applicable frameworks for using video in research communication, outreach, and design documentation.
