VIDEO PRODUCTION

VIDEO PRODUCTION is an introduction class designed to provide students with artistic, creative and historical background in the fields of video, broadcasting, and film production. In addition, this course provides instruction and training in pre-production, production and post production phases of project development. Students who are interested in a career in entertainment production have opportunities to explore the many jobs involved in the making of such productions.  Those who achieve competency in this course will be prepared to enter a film or broadcast journalism course at the college level. This class serves as a prerequisite for our CTE capstone classes, Advanced Video Production and Broadcasting. 

Meets the "F" graduation requirement. UC transferrable credit.
