STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Television Production II is a full-year performance-based course which teaches students to construct multi-media presentations for narrative, expository, and persuasive purposes. Television Production 1 is a prerequisite to Television Production II. Students will build on their skills and experiences from Television Production I. They will consider the audience, research topics to develop programming with depth, practice interviewing techniques, and produce authentic programs. Technical skills will be emphasized in digital video, studio camera work, and post-production editing. Television Production will prepare students for a career in television, but also will give them skills they may use in other businesses or in an entrepreneurial context. Teamwork, goal-setting, evaluative research and careful planning are part of Television Production and are all 21st Century skills. Television Production II will focus on several newscasts per week for the high school community. Separately we assess students to gauge progress and inform instruction. Benchmark assessments for students in grades 9 through 12 are administered in the form of a midterm and final exam for full year courses. *Special Note: Only final exams are administered at the end of quarter courses and semester courses. RATIONALE “Technology is evolving at an amazing rate, with both frequent advancements of existing technology and the creation of new technologies. All students must understand and be comfortable with the concepts and application of technology, not only in order to function in today’s complex society, but also to become informed and productive adults of tomorrow.” NJSLS for Technology, Introduction, 2006.
Television Production I is a prerequisite for Television Production II. Television 2 will focus on preparing several newscasts per week, utilizing and refining the skills learned in Television I.
*This course has been developed in response to state standards (8: Technological Literary and 9: 21st-Century Life and Careers) and the national emphasis on 21st Century skills.
