SWAMPSCOTT TV: Community Media Production and Distribution
095.1   SWAMPSCOTT TV: Community Media Production and Distribution, College Prep, Grades 9-12, Semester, 2.50 Credits

Each semester students work with a variety of clients to create projects in response to immediate community needs.  Students learn how to be the videographer, producer, editor, designer and director for various school and community productions.  Past projects include TikTok recycling videos, school websites, emergency medical response videos, Swampscott Fire Department Recruitment videos, the high school digital sign project, Kohut’s Corner,  and live lunchtime talk shows with the Senior Center. As students learn how to respond to client needs, they will come to understand the role of the Public, Educational and Government access channels in town.  Students will work in Swampscott High School’s state of the art Educational Access TV Studio and develop technical skills for studio and field production, live distribution/ webcasting, and channel management.  Students who successfully complete this class can apply for a paid Video Production Intern position with the Town of Swampscott.
