Digital Productions
Overview
Digital Productions is a class where students are trained to use the tools available to them to communicate their stories. During this one trimester class, students will be learning the fundamentals of videography and podcasting. We will be using WeVideo to edit and publish a variety of videos and podcasts. Students will be encouraged to practice all aspects of production, both in front of and behind the camera, and will have projects shared with their peers and with the SRTMS community.
The activities in this class will provide students with the following skills:
Using digital production equipment correctly
Identifying and demonstrating good digital production practices
Providing meaningful critiques and feedback to peers
Learning how to listen or watch as a captive audience member
Seeking out and highlighting diverse stories and perspectives in media
