WHAT ARE WE LEARNING: Classroom expectations

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT: We are entering a new realm of learning. Following the classroom expectations helps create a smooth transition from summer break back to the physical classroom... and a fun way to get to know one another! Expectations and rules guarantee the safety of students in the classroom. Equipment lasts longer and the classroom environment is more enjoyable. Finally, it leads to student success!

HOW WILL MY TEACHER KNOW WHAT I LEARNED: Today you will answer questions as we learn more about our class!

CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS

What you NEED to know!!!!

Classroom Rules!

Cheating

“Cheating is the actual or attempted practice of dishonest or deceptive acts for the purpose of improving one’s grade or obtaining course credit; such acts also include assisting another student to do so. It is the intent of this definition that the term ‘cheating’ not be limited to testing situations only, but that it includes any and all actions by a student that are intended to gain an unearned academic advantage by dishonest or deceptive means. Plagiarism is a specific form of cheating which consists of the misuse of published and/or unpublished works of others by representing the material as one’s own work.”

What about Ai?

Through the entire course we will discuss the use of Ai in certain aspects. However, ALL work completed MUST be your own! Ai is heavily detectable and will be considered cheating if used inappropriately!

Course Objectives

This year you will learn how to use digital video cameras, industry standard software, and learn how to employ these tools in creative and artistic ways.

Also, you will explore many “soft skills” that you will find invaluable. (Soft skills are the skills that will help land you that job someday.)

This is a project-based class, meaning you will primarily be graded on your ability to complete these projects and complete them on time.
Some projects will be group projects, though each student will turn in their OWN work

WHAT ARE WE DOING THIS YEAR?

2025/2026

Adobe Premiere Pro

Adobe Premiere Pro is a timeline-based video editing software application developed by Adobe Inc. and published as part of the Adobe Creative Cloud licensing program. First launched in 2003, Adobe Premiere Pro is a successor of Adobe Premiere.

Adobe Photoshop

Adobe Photoshop is a raster graphics editor developed and published by Adobe Inc. for Windows and macOS. It was originally created in 1988 by Thomas and John Knoll. Since then, the software has become the industry standard not only in raster graphics editing, but in digital art as a whole.

After Effects

Adobe After Effects is a digital visual effects, motion graphics, and compositing application. It's primarily used in video, film, and web content creation to add visual flair, motion, and special effects to footage. Think of it as a powerful tool for enhancing video with animations, titles, and complex visual effects, rather than a traditional video editor.
