Students do a LOT of writing in this class! During the year, we watch a minimum of four (4) professionally made documentaries. Students write a 2-page critical review (including an analysis of the story, structure and technique) for each film, and then conduct peer-reviews on the papers of their classmates.
Students should consider taking Intro to Visual Communications and Adobe Photoshop. Combining video production classes with these courses will help you earn a Video Production and Editing Certificate at Front Range Community College.
