Del Norte High – Digital Media Productions 3-4

Apr 2026 · 2nd Semester

This course is a continuation of Digital Media Production 1-2. In this course, students take the skills learned in the first course of the sequence and choose areas in which to specialize (writing, directing, acting, producing, storyboarding, scheduling, cinematography, lighting design, audio engineering, and editing). Students develop advanced skills within their areas of specialization and collaborate on projects with students who are specializing in the other areas of digital media production. This course will expose students to the proper use of state-of-the-art film and video production tools as well as access to professional seminars from industry professionals. They will learn the vocabulary of film and use it to express themselves clearly and concisely in their writings for that industry. They will be using industry standards in computer hardware and editing software. Most important is the art of filmmaking and the creative process that precedes any film or television project, this page-to-film process can be a painstaking endless series of creating, writing, rewriting, collaboration, and more rewrites. Students will study the impact of film and television on society from its social, economic, and political viewpoint. Films will be previewed for students in class and after school, they are expected to know the history of filmmaking and the technology that advances the art form.
