The course focuses on the various elements related to digital editing and digital narratives. Within the class, students will create digital stories containing a mixture of electronic images, text, recorded audio narration, video clips, and/or music. Students will be exposed to the tools and techniques of producing digital media in the TV Studio and on location, and they will become familiar with digital editing software. Students will produce, write, record, and edit original digital story productions that will include school newscasts, Public Service Announcements (PSAs), and commercials. Media literacy skills and the effects of stories upon self and society will be explored via typed reflections and discussions related to viewing and media experiences. The focus is upon using technology tools to design and communicate stories. This course is designed as a full year class; however, a student can enroll for one semester.
