Game Plan
The goal of advanced multimedia is to take concepts learned in the first year, and expand upon them. You will be studying the use and functions of the DSLR camera for video production and put into practice what you have learned to complete video projects.
DSLR Training
Training on the Canon Rebel T3i is available to you. You need to begin your study with this. as you watch the training videos, it may be beneficial to follow allow through certain parts by grabbing the T3i from the lab and going through controls, etc. while you watch. This is not an option for all sections of advanced due to there only being one camera and sometimes several students in a section.
After completing the training, you will begin pre-production for a video entry for the PA HS Computer Fair.
