The sample Video Production story looks like this:

Hey 7th graders if you want to know whether or not to take Video Production taught by Mrs. Boddy listen up. We had a chat with Mrs. Boddy and here are the skills you will learn: camera shots and angles, scripts, B-roll, how to capture videos, and how to edit and produce videos in different programs. (3:24-3:44) Equipment used in video production class includes computers, laptops a couple different types of cameras, tripods, microphones and lots of different programs. When you work on video projects you work with a team. In the beginning you do videos about yourself, camera shots, practice interviews, and then real interviews. You will also use the green screen, make public service announcements, and do creative videos. 00:56 – 1:10 Video production teaches you how to crop parts out of the video, put special effects into the video and how to add background music.Video Production is probably a smart choice for people who like doing hands on projects and working on stuff that involves anything technological.(3:01 to 3:23) Even if you aren’t very tech savvy you can still take this class, have a lot of fun, and learn a lot. But it’s easy to get behind on your work too. If you procrastinate on even one little thing it can strongly effect your grade in the future. If you put in the effort, do the work, are not afraid of being in front of the camera, and take the time you need to edit to make the video look good you will succeed.
