APPLICATION: Admittance into the Television Production Workshop is contingent on an application process. The application process is now closed for the 2009-10 school year.
GRADE LEVEL: Television Production Workshop is composed of juniors and seniors at Lake Orion High School.
COURSE LENGTH & CREDITS: 40 weeks, 2 credits.
COURSE DESCRIPTION: Television Production Workshop (TPW) is the cornerstone class of the Lake Orion High School broadcasting program. The TPW group is recognized annually with awards at the state level, and students in the class are expected to exceed expectations while studying the techniques and disciplines of live TV production. Through their work, they improve personal communication, leadership skills, time management, and media literacy. TPW students actively and consciously write, view, speak and listen. Television production is a team effort, and TPW members have varied opportunities to practice skills needed for successful group dynamics. Multiple leadership chances arise for those who accept the challenge of directing and producing programs. Among many responsibilities, the TPW class produces programs for the school and community, including but not limitied to LO-AM and the Memory DVD. TPW students are not required to perform in front of the camera, and TPW students are not required to have career goals in the broadcasting field. All LOHS sophomores and juniors (who have taken Broadcasting 1) are welcome to apply to the course.
