Digital Media Tech Overview

DESCRIPTION OF COURSE – This course is a single semester course offered as part of the technology rotation program and will provide students an overview of the technology used in digital video production. Students will work in-class and on-campus to produce basic video projects using the NHS Media Technology facilities.

This class is only available by permission from the guidance department.

There are a number of videos on-line for learning to use Final Cut Pro X to edit video. David A. Cox's PC Classes On-Line YouTube channel has a number of videos for learning Apple computers and software. He does a nice job explaining everything you need to know to get started.

This is one on Final Cut Pro X that I like because it does a nice job covering editing for someone who is new to Final Cut Pro X. You can search for additional videos to learn how to do special effects specific for your video project once you learn these basics.

We will be watching this in class, but I'm posting it here in case you want to review it outside of class.

I am also posting a video from our very own Antoine Groutars. Antoine was the winner of the National Academy of Television Arts and SciencesStudent Production Award in the PSA category for the Ohio Valley region in 2015.
