Media and Production 

In the photography module, students will dive into the fundamentals of capturing powerful, high-quality images. They'll learn how to use DSLR and mirrorless cameras, understand concepts like aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and master the principles of composition and lighting. From portraits and landscapes to action shots and product photography, students will experiment with various styles and settings while developing their own visual voice. Editing techniques using software like Lightroom or mobile apps will also be introduced, helping students bring their images to life with clarity and creativity.

The videography portion of the course focuses on the process of visual storytelling through motion. Students will learn how to plan, shoot, and edit short videos using professional techniques. Key concepts such as framing, camera movement, lighting for video, and audio capture will be covered. They’ll gain hands-on experience with video editing software like Adobe Premie Pro or DaVinci Resolve, and create projects such as interviews, livestreams and  mini documentaries. By the end of this module, students will have the tools to confidently express stories through the lens of a camera.

In the graphic design module, students will explore the creative process behind effective visual communication. They'll be introduced to foundational design principles including layout, typography, color theory, and branding. Using user-friendly platforms like Canva as well as more advanced tools like Adobe Photoshop (as age-appropriate), students will design posters, logos, flyers, and digital graphics for social media. The focus will be on problem-solving, creativity, and building confidence in design decision-making as students produce real-world materials and begin developing their own design portfolios.

This module introduces students to the world of audio production, giving them the tools to record, edit, and mix sound for a variety of uses. Whether they’re interested in music, podcasts, or Church Sound, students will gain hands-on experience with microphones, instruments, soundboards, digital audio workstations (DAWs) like Protools or Studio One, and mixing techniques. They'll learn about audio levels, EQ, effects, and multi-track recording while working on practical projects like producing their own podcast or mixing a vocal performance. This is a great opportunity for students to discover the power of sound in storytelling and media creation.
