In this course, students learn advanced production techniques through content creation for Cherokee's social media and LDTV. Students learn advanced editing techniques, as well as graphics and animation. Students create a short film demonstrating skills from pre-production, production, and post-production.
In addition to the course, students will be able to work with Cherokee Digital Media, the Cherokee network station, and LDTV, the Lenape District network station. Cherokee Digital Media is a club that students can participate in, or collaborate with, to film events such as awards ceremonies held at Cherokee. LDTV films many productions for the district, but we work closely with them to film select varsity sports each season. While LDTV films at four schools, we suggest students choose events held at Cherokee.
