Audio/Video Production-Bronco Broadcasting

Audio/Video Production Course 
 

Course Description 
Audio Video Production is an introduction and overview of the visual and audio media world. Students learn the fundamentals of video and audio production using a variety of equipment.  Students will gain knowledge and experience with extensive hands-on assignments involving video cameras, video and audio editing, directing, digital graphics, writing, producing studio productions, pre-production, production and post-production processes. The fall semester will introduce the foundation for all of the topics which will be expanded.

Additionally, the ongoing production project will be the Dayton High School Video News. Students will rotate through the roles of a broadcast news studio crew and will create actual stories, announcements, specific videos and the like for DHS. Students will be required to fulfill news assignments outside of the school day; if this is not possible, please see the counselor to change your schedule. 

This is a blended classroom environment meaning, students will be required to read articles, view presentations, videos, and complete other curriculum based activities outside of class time. Should the student not have access to the Internet at home, then arrangements should be made to use the lab before or after school. The pace of this class is rigorous to be able to include all of the TEKS and students need to stay on top of assignments, projects, and due dates.  Only daily assignments will follow the DISD grading policy for extension when a student misses class for any reason.  Because ample class time is devoted, project due dates are firm and extensions will only be granted for extreme extenuating circumstances. I must be notified in advance or as soon as possible for extensions to be granted.

Many of the projects require group activities and grades will reflect the individual and group efforts.

Students must provide: 

  • 1 flash drive 16G or greater - this will remain in the classroom until end of year and will be used for required digital portfolio
  • Headphones or ear buds
