Career Technical Education Capstone Project
Digital Communications
At Galileo Institute of Science and Technology, I taught two CTE classes in filmmaking. I created a capstone project for both classes, advanced and introductory.
Students learned how to create films from pre-production through post-production, first writing, filming, and then editing five-minute shorts with the challenge of submitting them to a local indie film festival in the summer. The Digicomm class collaborated with the Drama class to film their shorts, gaining experience directing live actors. See snapshots of the process below!
