444 Digital Media Production
The Digital Media Production class is a year-long elective in the Technology and Engineering Education department. Digital Media Production can be taken by sophomores, juniors or seniors. The next level is Advanced Media Production followed by another year-long class called Independent Study.
Our goals for the class are:
1. To discuss and evaluate the nature of media, its uses, and its effects on today's society
2. To become critically aware of the nature of television, including programming, ratings, advertising and TV production
3. To examine and produce media messages (essays, PSAs, commercials, news reports, newscasts) in order to understand the decision-making process of that goes into the production of messages for TV, film and social media
Students use professional quality equipment in the TV Studio—Sony prosumer cameras, wireless microphones, JVC high-definition cameras, Adobe premiere software and editing systems…all worth more than a quarter of a million dollars! As part of the Astroworld Media team, the students will produce projects for the studio's You Tube channel and for social media.
