Media Arts 10

This is an introduction to students who are looking for a course that not only teaches them digital filmmaking practices, but also allows them to improve their teambuilding and collaboration skills. Some focus areas will include learning how audiences are manipulated by media from a wide range of sources and genres of production, critical analysis of both technical and creative choices, and exploring what moving pictures say about our history, culture, and people who make them, including the students themselves. 

Media Arts 11 & 12

This course will introduce and take students deeper into the filmmaking process as they explore what creative stories and ideas they can bring to life on the screen. Students will culminate their learning with a major personal project on a scale that most do not get to do until post-secondary school. Along with creative exploration, students will also be introduced to the fast-paced, deadline-centered business of news entertainment and produce short shows for broadcast and live streaming.
