Course Description:

Television Production I is a year long course that will provide students with a basic understanding of video production. The students will build on their video production skills by producing a music video, a public service announcement, and other video projects, using non-linear editing equipment. This course is creative, engaging, and rewarding, as students are able to produce several video projects from beginning to end. At the completion ofeach video project, the students can make a copy of their work onto a Dvdprovided by Mr. Fadness.

Course Objectives:

Students will demonstrate an understanding of video production by identifying video equipment, producing storyboards, writing scripts, performing basic camera shots and camera movements, and use non-linear editing equipment.

Grading Policy:

Grading will be based on a 40% (first qtr. Grade) + 40% (second qtr. Grade) + 20% (final exam grades) = 100% semester grade.

A student’s total points earned will produce an average score to reflect a percentage:

100-90% = A

89-80% = B

79-70% = C

69-60% = D

Below 60% = F

The final exam will cover the objectives learned throughout the semester.

*Extra credit points will be available for extra work and Basha Video Club attendance.
