Embedded Files
The Audio-Video Technology and Film pathway prepares students for careers in film, television, broadcasting, and digital media through three courses. Students begin with safety, terminology, scriptwriting, storyboarding, camera operation, composition, lighting, audio recording, studio and field production, livestreaming, graphics, editing, compression, exporting, equipment care, and careers. They advance to program formats, production proposals, signal flow, connectors, troubleshooting, multilayer editing, continuity, color correction, keying, compositing, advanced lighting, motion graphics, animation, tracking, and multiplatform distribution. In the final course, students demonstrate mastery through complex camera work, multi-source audio mixing, nonlinear editing, and professional news, commercial, documentary, and other productions. Throughout the pathway, students build teamwork, communication, ethics, leadership, problem-solving, employability skills, and a professional portfolio.
Audio Video Technolgy & Film I
Audio & Video Technology and Film I is the foundational AVTF course, introducing production safety, industry terminology, teamwork, professional ethics, and career paths. Students plan scripts, treatments, proposals, and storyboards while learning composition, camera movement, lighting, audio recording, and equipment care. They use camcorders, DSLR and mobile cameras, microphones, field mixers, studio cameras, switchers, audio consoles, character generators, cables, computers, and editing software. Through studio broadcasts, field productions, and live streams, students record and edit media, create still and motion graphics, apply color correction, keying, and compositing, and export media using appropriate formats and compression methods.
Audio Video Technology & Film II
Audio-Video Technology and Film II advances students’ skills in planning, writing, directing, recording, and editing productions. Students create scripts and proposals for film, TV, news, commercials, documentaries, and web media, then prepare projects for multiple formats. They use field and studio cameras, microphones, control systems, lighting, green screens, computers, and editing and graphics software. Students troubleshoot cables, connectors, and signal paths; perform multilayer and split edits; maintain continuity; correct color; mix audio; and apply keying and compositing. They also create motion graphics and animation with keyframes, motion paths, tracking, and 3D space while developing teamwork, leadership, ethics and career readiness.
Broadcast Video Production
Broadcast Video Production Applications is the final course in the AVTF pathway and focuses on advanced student-led media projects. Students demonstrate mastery of complex camera operations, mix multiple audio sources, and use non-linear editing workstations to create broadcast-quality programming. Working independently and in teams, they write scripts and copy, then plan, produce, direct, record, and edit news packages, commercials, documentaries, and other programs. Students strengthen communication, problem-solving, time management, teamwork, ethics, and career-readiness skills while adding authentic production samples, outside evaluations, references, and relevant experiences to a polished digital portfolio and self-promotional package.
