In today's multi-media world it's important to be good at using both pictures and sound to share information. Audiovisual (AV) projects mix sounds, videos, and pictures to engage, educate, and entertain. They let people create exciting stories, share what they know, and express ideas in a way that's different from just using words.
Good communication on the internet is super important. Whether you like movies, podcasts, or any multimedia stuff, this course will help you become an expert in making AV content. Let's start this creative journey together!

OBS and Audaicty are free open source software but Premier Pro is not. A free alternative to to Premier Pro is Openshot but it does not have nearly the same level of tools and may not be suitable for projects beyond level 1.
Recording on OBS and Audacity may not be possible in a school environment so may need to be done for homework. Similarly cinematography skills are not taught in this course so recording video needs to be done in collaboration between students and teachers.

If you are keen on this area then you need to be looking to create projects that have more substance then a montage of gaming clips....
Promotional Videos: Promotional videos for products, services, or events, incorporating visuals, text overlays, and background music.
Tutorials and How-To Guides: Instructional videos with screen capture to guide viewers through various processes, software usage, or DIY tasks.
Podcasts: Record and edit podcasts, improving audio quality and adding music or sound effects.
Video Resumes: Create dynamic video resumes that showcase their skills and qualifications.
Short Films and Documentaries: Short films or documentaries by editing video footage and integrating audio effects or narration.
Using your own content as much as possible is what you should be aiming for and it is assumed that you can do some basic videography (taking video and picture) skills.

LETS GETTING LEARNING!
"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world."
— Nelson Mandela
We have heaps of time to learn skills and to be fair, if you want to make things easier later on you need to put the time in to learn the software inside and out. Even if you have used the software before there is always more you can learn.
Below are a range of tasks and they each build on each other. The tutorials found here are easy to access but if you need more their are lots more free options a a couple include; LinkedIn Learning (formly Lynda.com) can be accessed via most City Council Libraries (you need to have a library card) and if you have access to the Adobe Suite then Adobe Education Exchange has lots of resourses available.
It takes 30+ hours to get comfortable in any software so keep challenging yourself to make more graphics and try new tools and techniques.
