Video Tech is designed to expose students to digital media with an emphasis on video production. It covers the production process from conceptualization to pre-production planning, video camera shooting, non-linear editing, and finalizing/distribution. Students will produce a music video project. The majority of class time is dedicated to editing our projects using Adobe Premier Pro.  Outside class time for filming is required.  Students will be provided cameras if they do not have a cellphone for video production.

Critique, constructive criticism and honest feedback are an integral part of the class that fulfill a key core curriculum content standard.
