The Sports Broadcast Institute: A Complete Video Production Experience
The Sports Broadcast Institute (SBI) at Rockdale College and Career Academy allows students to master Audio, Video, Technology, and Film (AVTF) standards as well as work in an environment that resembles a real life production company. In this unit from the SBI, students work collaboratively and independently to prepare for a live sports broadcast event by creating feature pieces, commercials, and news segments that will be incorporated into the live broadcast. Throughout the unit, students apply their knowledge of lighting, camera effects, and postproduction, including editing and typography. The unit ends with students directing and taking full responsibility for the live broadcast event.
