Students will explore the production process from concept to reality. Emphasis will be placed on communicating a clear message along with visual images through journalism. Students will work both behind and in front of the camera, gaining an appreciation for all aspects of the production process. Technically speaking, students will master a wide variety of talents using digital video technology. Students will also explore the impact and power of media, thus creating a more informed consumer of the messages that bombard us each day.

Both video productions classes are college articulated, allowing an opportunity for students who score a B or better in both courses to obtain college credit.
