Course Description

Course Description The Film & Video Production course is digital story telling for short films. Stories are based on school and community events. Students begin preparation for Final Cut Certification. Students learn how to create short stories and apply them to the 4 stages of Film Production. Students learn how to brainstorm, write scripts, plan storyboards, and create production schedules in the Pre Production Stage. In the Production Stage, students apply their knowledge of cameras, lighting, and sound as learned in the Film Production Semester course. In the Post Production stage, Film 1 students advance their skills in Final Cut Pro. Students will edit with Final Cut, Soundtrack Pro, Motion, Color, Compressor, and DVD Studio Pro. Students then prepare for the last stage of film production where they present their films for public viewing.
