Digital Media: Our Story
- Founded in 2024 by our students here at Virginia City High School, this course serves as a comprehensive journey into digital media, encompassing various disciplines such as photography, videography, animation, and interactive media. Through hands-on practice, students will delve into the techniques that drive effective digital communication. Students will learn interview techniques and editing software to capture compelling visuals and tell engaging stories. Students will also create and maintain a Virginia City High School “student friendly” web page that includes video highlights of clubs, sports, teachers, and students. Finally, students will film daily announcements that also include their projects and promos. From framing, lighting, and sound techniques to post-production editing, students will develop the skills needed to produce professional-quality videos. Whether aspiring to pursue a career in advertising, filmmaking, or digital marketing, this course equips students with the appropriate tools and knowledge needed to pursue their interest in digital media.
