Digital Video: Foundations of Video Design and Production is a yearlong, project-based curriculum that develops career and communication skills in digital video production, using Adobe tools. Digital Video curriculum develops four key skill areas: • Project management and collaboration • Design • Research and communication • Professional video production, using video tools Students develop these key skills in a spiral—each project adds more challenging skills onto foundation proficiencies. Students engage in skills to learn storytelling, capturing and editing video and audio, and finalizing content for DVD, web, or digital videotape. Adobe collaborated with a community of educators across the US and UK to develop the appropriate depth and breadth of each project. Additionally, Adobe collaborated and co-developed this content with the International Society of Technology Education (ISTE) to create standards-aligned, career-track course materials that focus on video design and production. Digital Video curriculum addresses each of these areas, using a project-based approach. Each project has phases that follow a design and development process from project planning and analysis to evaluation and distribution. Students gain experience through real-world projects that help them understand roles and processes across a broad range of careers involving digital video. To simulate a professional work environment, students gradually migrate their video work from an individual process to a group process, focused on personal and client work. The projects contain activities that require students to plan their communication and focus and then evaluate and improve their communications. Specific attention has been paid to developing concepts and principles for thorough, effective communication to multiple audiences. Each project guideline provides structure for the content and process of a project while allowing flexibility for the instructor to tailor the level of social and technical interaction appropriate for students. For example, you can manage client work within the school or open it up to involve the community at large. This content prepares students for the Adobe Certified Associate, Video Communication using Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 examination.

Portfolios communicate accomplishments, works in progress, or personal history. Individuals use a portfolio to showcase their work when applying for a job. Traditionally, a portfolio is a large book or leather case containing design samples. With DVD portfolios, individuals can share video or interactive work in an easy, portable manner. In this project, students create the elements of a DVD portfolio with Adobe Encore. They build a DVD that features work they have completed, concentrating on a particular career area of video production. As students create their portfolios, they plan, implement, and test their DVDs. This is Project 5 in the Digital Video curriculum. Portions of this project map to the Adobe Certified Associate, Video Communication with Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 objectives.

Documentaries attempt to represent reality rather than tell a fictional story. Documentaries are essentially nonfiction film. In this project, students work in teams to create a mini-documentary: identifying the theme, audience, and goals for a particular topic. Within each team, students manage tasks from a particular filmmaking role perspective. In the process of making a mini-documentary, students learn to create advanced motion and color effects, use audio-editing techniques, and compose a musical score. Finally, each team will present their film in a student film festival. This is Project 7 in the Digital Video curriculum.

Creating a variety of video projects helps students develop abilities to produce multiple types of videos and provides an opportunity to sample the range of skills that can be used in industry. Students have experienced multiple roles and taken part in many parts of the design and video production process. Students can use these experiences to determine the direction they might wish to pursue as they leave this course. In this project, students review their portfolios from Project 5 and redesign them to better address their skills and career focus. Students create a short marketing plan to market their skills to potential employers or programs in higher education. Students research specific career areas or educational programs and update their DVD portfolios to reflect the best content and technical skills suited to that area. Students focus on the design and creating the DVD to exemplify how employers should perceive them. This is Project 8 in the Digital Video curriculum.

Learn how to harness the power of Adobe Photoshop both as a tool to manipulate your video clips and to build art work that you can incorporate into your video projects. Participants will be able to focus on a range of learning objectives that include: •Opening video clips in Adobe Photoshop and applying a variety of filters, effects, blend modes and layer masks. •Building artwork to incorporate into video production projects such as lower third title overlays, logos and other visual elements. We will also cover layer organization and how to import/manage the layers once you bring them into a video editor like Adobe Premiere. •Building DVD menus with buttons that you can import into Adobe Encore •Building DVD labels and game/jewel case covers.
