Video production I is loaded with excitement and is a necessity for students to explore career possibilities in the media industry. I was motivated by my high school mass media teacher to pursue a career in the media industry. It is my desire to motivate you by giving you a better understanding of what television production is from behind the scenes to in front of the camera. It is my hope that every student will gain knowledge and experience in the basic area of the media. The purpose of this class is to give students knowledge of the media industry and the ability to go into the workforce or continue their ability and expertise in college. In video production students will study the history of media, develop scripts, learn proper shooting, and editing techniques through working within groups to complete projects.
