Computers & Media
The course is designed to explore a variety of computer software programs, various media platforms and digital technology applications for use in creating personal and academic presentation materials. The course will also explore the development of these technologies as an important tool in our visual, educational and commercial cultures. Projects will utilize the software graphic design computer lab and other support technologies available to them. Students will learn basic competencies in a number of software applications and how these tools are used in media production. Students will develop a working understanding of production and formatting of graphic and multimedia content. Students will also learn about pre-production strategies to plan their projects. Given the amount of time available, the course will probably cover Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop and then move on to some basic video production and editing in iMovie. The instructor has access to all the equipment and materials needed, as well as the lab.
Ultimate Talent Show directed by Mr. Tim Barrington
Do you and your friends at school break into song and do a dance on cue in the classroom? Do you sing harmony on bus trips, play guitar or any other instrument? If so, we want you to perform in the final evening event for the Governor’s School. The talent show is open to all who wish to demonstrate their talents for the enjoyment of their peers. Students also can participate as an emcee, run the lighting, sound or do work backstage. Participants will be given rehearsal time on stage and will have at least one full technical rehearsal during the week before the performance. NOTE: If you wish to use recorded accompaniments for vocal or dance numbers, you will need to provide a high quality, clearly recorded CD (fully labeled with your name, track, etc.) to be used at the audition, rehearsals and performance. Don’t forget to bring that when you join us in Martin. We hope to see you on stage!!!!!
