Film & TV - CTE Program of Study
The Film & TV instructional program prepares the students to work in a variety of positions within the broadcast news, film, and television arenas. Broadcast news, Television, and Movie Production is an elaborate process with seemingly endless details to contend with. Everyone in the production works to produce the best product possible. The students will gain a tremendous amount of skill and knowledge starting in pre-production and running through the entire process of presenting the product. An integrated approach to teaching and learning is recommended as students develop interpersonal relations, career development skills, Workplace Employability Skills, and technical knowledge and skills. Students completing this program will be prepared to enter the workforce and/or Post-secondary where they will be able to apply the skills necessary to be in Film & TV while also having a strong portfolio to support their knowledge and skills. The program is designed and delivered as a coherent sequence of school-based and work-based supervised learning. Students learn leadership skills and develop their leadership abilities through participation in the state-recognized Career and Technical Student Organizations FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) or SkillsUSA.
