Pathway Description

This pathway enables students to learn the basics of TV production, audio systems, and video engineering. It is an interactive area with strong emphasis on career and technical skills.

Pathway Courses

Audio/Radio/Video Engineering I

This course is designed to familiarize you with the processes and tools associated with video production. Emphasis is placed on single camera techniques with an emphasis on professional aptitudes and attitudes. You will be introduced to a number of technical and non-technical skills throughout the school year, and this course will also examine the history of television and future trends. Class projects will reinforce techniques and produce creative assignments.

Audio/Radio/Video Engineering & Design II

This course is designed to familiarize and expand your knowledge of the processes and tools associated with video production. Special emphasis is placed on multi-camera techniques used in the field (EFP/ENG) and in-studio productions, with emphasis on professional aptitudes and attitudes. In addition to critical viewing skills, students will acquire pre-production skills such as camera operation, audio production, and lighting techniques; and post-production editing skills such as special effects and character generation. The course will also promote the following skills: critical thinking, collaboration, problem-solving, interdisciplinary thinking, writing and oral communication, and time management.

Audio/Radio/Video Engineering & Design III

This class cultivates a stronger development of studio production (or multi-camera production). Students will develop the skills necessary to work together as a complete studio crew. Each student will learn the principles and concepts pertaining to each piece of studio equipment, and how to operate it to produce and edited live content. The general principles of studio audio/video cabling are also covered, and how each piece of equipment is integrated into the studio as a whole. Students will learn directing and production methods used to construct a multi-camera production.

Communication Technology Research & Design IV

This class allows students to explore independent productions, focusing on using the tools learned through the ARVE pathway. Students will experience the responsibilities of being show producers, and explore opportunities for contests, and other means of showcasing their productions. Students will also be able to work in the studio assisting with other students and community productions.
