Objectives:

• Practice the basics of good composition, lighting and audio.  
• Learn advanced editing techniques of Adobe Premiere. 
• Learn to use the studio production equipment & facility (if we can do this while being socially distant, we will do this).
• Produce news stories for use in our studio news program & announcements.

Students in this course have demonstrated their skills and commitment to TV/Video production in the introductory class. It is expected that the guidelines of the intro course be continued in the intermediate course. In the past, students have worked individually and in groups throughout the semester. Because of COVID-19, most of your work will be done individually. You will be asked to film in school and at home, while maintaining all of the social distance guidelines. We usually have cameras to check out during and after school, but this will be limited this year and you may be asked to film on your own phones, iPads or cameras. 

Grades will be based on the following criteria:   

• Attendance in class and on zoom meetings.
• Quality: The quality of your work and the effort you put into each assignment.
• Conduct: Student are expected to follow all rules in the class such as using appropriate language in videos, asking permission to film others, care of equipment/computers and cooperation and respect for classmates. Conduct in class, along with what you film, should be consistent with Wellesley’s core values. Violation of any of the above rules may result in the removal from this class.
• Effort: If you are respectful, follow rules, ask questions and attempt to be creative and complete your projects, you will do well.
• Morning Announcements/Community Service: In the past, students have been expected to assist once with the morning announcements recording or film a sporting or school event. This will be different this year and the announcements are still To Be Determined.

Equipment use: Any equipment used in class should be used with care and computer directions MUST be followed. This includes not changing the desktop or items on the desktop, not touching other students’ projects and not deleting ANY projects. Students MUST follow the school’s acceptable use policy. Not following these directions or misusing the equipment will prevent future use and may result in removal from the class. *** **Students are expected to assist with cleaning the equipment and desks at the end of class due to Covid-19 **
