This website provides information for two courses that are currently running
during the first semester of the 2011-2012 school year. Television
Productions and Multimedia design 1 are introductory courses that stress the
use
of technology to creat effective messages.
TELEVISION PRODUCTIONS offers the students an opportunity to work in a
television sound studio. Short takes, animations, and commercials are just a
few of the many audio-video areas that each student will explore. Actual
production skills will be geared towards developing programs for the school
and community. Various formats, such as the "Talk Show" style, "News &
Opinions" programs, and "Talent and Activities" around the school will be
produced. Students who plan to enter either the communications or television
field will get practical hands-on experience in the Television Studio. Remote
videotaping will also be included.
Students will have the opportunity to work cameras, make guest appearances,
develop scripts and ideas for programs, and handle many technical aspects of
the productions. Independent student projects will be explored.
