Video Production
Students get exposed to camera techniques and software that help create and edit media projects in our Video Production class. Video Production emphasizes teamwork, organization, and creativity for students to show their perspectives through film.
Our Broadcast team is responsible for producing newscasts throughout the school year. Students film performances, conduct on-camera interviews, and report school news. Students who graduate from Video Production or have previous experience in filming or editing may choose to continue into our Broadcast Journalism elective. Here are videos of our student's broadcast.
