The Video Production Pathway supports students in the development of a varied portfolio that can open doors to the industry, film school, art school, communications, broadcast journalism, media studies, public relations, or advertising. 

How to Apply

Although students can take video production classes any year, those considering higher education or career options in a media related field are encouraged to enter the pathway by their sophomore year.  This provides two years for portfolio development prior to their college application process.       

Sophomores have the opportunity to participate in the Digital Filmmaking Project.  Applications for this unique interdisciplinary project are due on February 1, 2007, and can be obtained from the Video Production Program or your Language Arts teacher.   

Professional Internships

The pathway provides professional internships supported by Seattle’s diverse film & television industry.  

Course Credit

All Video Production classes fulfill either the Fine Art or the Occupational Education requirement.

Pathway Description

Any BHS student can enter the program by enrolling in Media Issues & TV Production, a one-semester class with emphasis on media literacy and film-style production.  For sophomores, the Digital Filmmaking Project links a two-semester version of Media Issues & TV Production with 10th grade Language Arts in an interdisciplinary digital filmmaking unit.  Students earning a “C” or above in either version of this intro class are eligible for Advanced Communications Television, a two-semester course.  This course can be re-taken for portfolio development.
