On completion of the course, the student should

- have knowledge of key concepts in compositing for digital image (spatial resolution, bit depth, channels, color spaces, premultiplikation, aspect ratio, file format, etc.)
- demonstrate knowledge of basic 3D compositing techniques (3D tracking, objects, materials, cameras, projection, etc.)
- demonstrate an understanding of the key elements in the work process and methodology for compositing

- demonstrate proficiency in applying basic techniques of compositing (roto, paint, keying, filtering, tracking, transformations, color
- demonstrat an ability to find, and with some help use, documentation and guides to solve the software-related user problems.

This is the first course of three dealing with compositing from a theoretical and technical perspective. This course provides an overview of the basic operations, the work function and application of current software.
The course contains the following elements:
- The fundamentals of compositing theory
- Basic compositing techniques
- Workflow and Process
- Work methodology and structure
