Overview: Welcome to Introduction to Broadcast Video Production, or BVP 1. This class is designed to be an introduction to the television and film industries with a little bit of awesome thrown in for free. The state intended this program to be a fairly comprehensive look at the production industry, so if you are looking to hone your acting skills, please consider taking one of North Cobbs fine drama classes. We will learn about the history of mass media, how to compose shots, non-linear editing, and lots of technical jargon necessary to master of this relevant art form. Why Broadcast Video? Dont make the mistake of treating this as just another elective. What elective will give you a new look at something you interact with on a daily basis? If you have used YouTube, Vimeo, Facebook, or any online social tool, you have probably seen video. This class will help you to understand what you are seeing and maybe, just maybe, it will make you a contributor to this necessary social interaction. You watch videos everyday this class will help you make them better. Georgia Performance Standards: I intend to use my blog as a way of extending our classroom. I will be putting lots of relevant information up in cyberspace. You will be able to find the standards at the class blog.
