Audio/Video Technology & Film Pathway Overview:

Lights, camera and action! If you want a career as a director, a film writer, a television reporter/anchor, a video editor or any other job career in the broadcast and film industry, the AVTF pathway is for you. In the AVTF Pathway students learn the basics of Audio/Video Technology & Film such as the parts of the camera and tripod, video filming techniques to include composition, camera movements and the types of camera shots and interviewing. Students dive into lighting and audio principles, and the three phases of video production. Students will utilize Adobe Premiere, which is a program that is currently used in the broadcast and film industry. Students will have the opportunity to work in one of the seven (7) main studio job roles, which is a part of learning the principles of studio production. In AVTF II, students will go more in depth with the skills they have learned in the beginner course and learn more advanced camera filming techniques, studio production and management, live and field production, and much more. For AVTF III, students will work on more project-based assignments in both an individual and group capacity. In addition, students have the opportunity to take the EOPA (End of Pathway Assessment), which provides students with the opportunity to obtain an industry certificate, which markets students as proficient in Adobe Premiere Pro.
