  • Emma Campbell (Northmont)
  • Tanner Henry (Northmont)
  • Alenia Shemo (Northmont)
  • Alixander Stevens (National Trail)

The MVCTC Media and Video Production program teaches a blend of computer software applications. Students receive training in the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Premiere Pro, and InDesign. They also create weekly video morning announcements as a senior class project. Check-out www.ctctube.com for examples.

 

In this program, student performance is based on an authentic assessment. Students are given an overview of the assignment and are given the freedom to pick their project theme for the given guidelines. Using the skills they have learned, students work on many hands-on projects. A student who is creative and open to individualized instruction excels in this environment.

 

Many graduates of this program continue their education and earn bachelor's degrees from four-year colleges or universities. Upon graduation, students will possess skills in several software packages and videography, which will allow them to apply for entry-level positions in the job market.
