Dear Parents and Guardians of QHHS 9th-Graders,

 

Quartz Hill High School has a new academy with a television and video focus. The experience begins officially in students’ sophomore year, so we wanted to send information to help you decide if you would like your child to apply.

 

Our academy is a small learning community within QHHS. This means that academy students share some of the same teachers. As a result of this cohort method, students’ teachers collaborate on different video-related projects and discuss students’ progress regularly. We are able to intervene to help students keep their grades up; a 2.0/C grade point average is needed to stay in the academy. 

 

In their sophomore year, students take the Intro to Film class where they learn the elements of television and video production. Students will acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to conceptualize and produce basic video productions.

 

In their junior year, students take Digital Video Production and Broadcasting, which is where they learn the elements of television and video production. Students will acquire the skills and knowledge necessary to conceptualize and produce basic video productions for broadcast use.

 

In their senior year, students take the capstone course titled Advanced Art of TV and Video Production where they learn both studio and field production techniques using both analog and digital technology. Using lectures, screenings, and hands-on labs, students will gain a more in-depth understanding of video production and the business of video production. Technical and aesthetic aspects of scripting, lighting, camera work, continuity, post-production editing, logistics, and budgeting will be incorporated into this course.

 

Students keep a digital portfolio of their work for the academy, and they present this as a culminating project to a panel of evaluators. 

 

If you are interested in having your child apply, please have them fill out our online application as soon as possible. https://antelopevalley.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1SJ1nvoG5vr06wK
