Communications Technology
Students start with a basic understanding of light behaviour, learn to operate DSLR cameras, start getting creative control of their work, to understanding complex processes of collaboration (script writing, casting, editing) in order to produce high quality photo shoots, and screen-ready short video films.
Grade 11 students learn the technical pillars of digital photography and filmmaking. In grade 12, the focus gravitates toward more complex productions: fiction, experimental, documentary, journalism; and collaboration with community organizations in real life projects. Students planning post-secondary studies in photography and filmmaking have the opportunity to develop their personal portfolios.
TGJ3M and TGJ4M are project-based, hands-on courses that give an opportunity for the participant students to explore and discover their own voice, interest, and motivation to learn and build their own lifelong learning path.
