Film, Audio and Video Production

  • The Film, Audio & Video Production class offers all the skills and knowledge a student needs to launch a successful career in film, video  content creation or television. Students complete film and video projects while learning to work as part of a production team. The curriculum includes individual and multidisciplinary assignments geared to developing both creative, collaborative, and technical proficiency. Large studios and modern production equipment support these goals, enabling students to produce high-quality work. A comprehensive and balanced approach to study includes opportunities to produce, write, direct, shoot and edit on numerous projects. There’s a strong commitment to post-production, and students gain practical experience on a variety of video, motion graphics and audio programs, such as Premier pro, Audition, and After Effects. All classes begin with writing assignments and continue with more writing, reading and oral presentations in front of a camera or microphone. To earn the .5 credit for English, students will be expected to do outside reporting, internet research and writing assignments. Writing and reading are an integral part of this class. All assignments are directly related to the English Language Arts Common Core State Standards.
