Coronado High School – Video Production 1 and 2

Mar 2026 · 2nd Semester

This introductory course covers both how video communicates with viewers and the methods by which it does so. Communication, planning, and production are equally balanced. This course treats video as a mature and independent medium, not merely a variant of television of a recording alternative to film. This course is appropriate for two groups of students: those preparing for careers in communications media as well as creators of personal programs who expect to make videos of professional caliber. Students are required to demonstrate proficiency in storytelling and production through a variety of hands-on projects.
