Student Video Productions:
Course/Program Statement: As assessed by the administrative and planning committees who collectively authored the Hewlitt-Packard Grant (2000), there is a direct need for a technologically centered, educationally inspired Native American program which would function both on the local and national levels. Such a program would include diverse and creative classroom training as well as hands-on experience within an applicable context. Therefore, it is the intent of the TV/Film Media Production class to assist in bridging the “digital divide” which exists within the Native American communities. Within this course, students will be given the opportunity to creatively explore and experience the art of TV/Film production. Program Objective: The TV/Film Media Production program is specifically designed to instruct students how to incorporate current technology directly affiliated with the TV/Film industry. The TV/Film Media Production program places a strong emphasis on the development and completion of well documented student projects which include and directly engage all aspects of the program/course materials and subject areas. Through the understanding and development of technical skills as well as confidence, both self and as a group, students will then obtain a working knowledge base which will only increase with time and experience. The TV/Film Media Production program maintains a Native cultural policy which coincides with all the cultural statements, objectives, views and ideologies which are stated and described by the BRIDGE. Course Objective: This specific course is designed for students with little or no experience with video or film. This course will place an emphasis on digital video production and will incorporate a multitude of teaching techniques including; classroom instruction, theory, field trips, laboratory work applying a "hands-on" approach to film and video production.
