501 Media Production----1 Credit
Media Production is a yearlong course designed as an elective for juniors and seniors who are interested in producing substantial products. Students need to have excellent time management and communication skills and want to be part of an entrepreneurial environment. Students taking this course may follow either one of two tracks: print or video. Students electing to enter into the print track will be responsible for producing the yearbook and school newspaper. These students will be exposed to a suite of Adobe software products such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. Print track students must be willing to spend time outside of the classroom taking pictures, selling advertisements and interviewing people. Students electing to enter into the video track will be responsible for producing projects involving community and school activities that will be jointly agreed to between the student and instructor. Topics a video track student may consider are producing “high lights” of school, sporting or music event(s) or a community activity that will assist an organization. Video track students are expected to produce one major production per marking period and it is assumed that half of the work will be accomplished outside of the classroom. All students must have passed the Intro to Computer Applications course. Students taking the video track must also have passed the Video Production course. Feeder courses, that must have been passed, for the print track is Creative Writing, Journalism, or either the Intro or Advanced Photography and Image Editing courses. Juniors who successfully completed the print track may return as seniors to continue their work on the yearbook and school newspaper.
