VIDEO I
IMPORTANT INFO
This course is heavily centered around filming and editing on a computer. Please be prepared for this kind of workload because that is what the entire course is centered around. There will be times when you will be required to work outside of class time to meet project deadlines - this is almost always a concern so be prepared for that because it is extremely likely to happen.
_____________________________________________________________________
This class is broken up into two sections that will take place during the first and second quarters of the semester you are in and both carry equal weight to the other. The end goal is that I am leading you into a full understanding of what is required to be in the Video II program which is the ideal end goal of a Video I student.
During the first quarter, we will explore Adobe Premiere and its editing capabilities so we have a better understanding of what it does and how to use it. We will experiment with several projects varying in difficulty as we continue to navigate through our editing skills.
During the second quarter of your semester, we will extensively practice learning how to run a LIVE news show for our school broadcasting program. During this time we will practice several techniques and roles required to run the show. Additionally, we will work on a few filmed projects that will work in conjunction with the show. At the end of practicing running a live show, each group will run a LIVE show
