Entertainment Technologies/Video and Digital Media Production
Option to Entertainment Technologies, (AAS.ETV)
The Entertainment Technology Program provides students
with a solid foundation in the knowledge and skills needed
for entry into the entertainment field, or to transfer to a
baccalaureate program. Students may choose from the
following four options: Entertainment Management
(AAS.ETM), Lighting Engineering (AAS.ETL), Sound and
Recording Engineering (AAS.ETS), and Video and Digital
Media Production (AAS.ETV). Students who wish to transfer
to a baccalaureate program are strongly advised to seek
information regarding admission and transfer requirements.
The Video and Digital Media Production option of the
Entertainment Technology Program prepares students
for jobs such as broadcast or production engineers,
producers and assistant producers, video editors, camera
operators, master control and technical directors, freelance
businesspersons, and the associated video production
opportunities in the expanding video and Internet areas.
Non-linear digital video editing is the industry standard for
professionals working in television and film — and now on
Web pages and the Internet. Industry demand for editors
skilled in the leading digital post-production techniques
has caused non-linear editing to emerge as a rapidly
growing specialty.
With the expansion of digital video, DVDs, webstreaming,
video CDs, and the associated media, opportunities exist
for employment on production teams, serving as freelancers
or operating as independent producers, or entrepreneurs
for recording special events, weddings, social functions,
corporate content media, instructional and multimedia
productions, and a host of varied content and media
applications.
Graduates of this program should be able to:
Produce “content” such as television programs, videos
used for broadcast, cable, web streaming, interactive
multimedia projects, entertainment productions, and a
wide variety of applications used within public and
private institutions.
Utilize various types of cameras.
Produce videos in both studio and field settings.
Write various forms of scripts and projects.
Use computerized non-linear editing equipment.
Be competent with associated audio technologies and
output-finished products used in various media such as
videotape, DVD, video CDs, and the Internet.
Obtain entry-level employment in the field of video
production.
