Video production class rides in style

The room is filled with flashy cars, eco-friendly models, and people buzzing around everywhere. Welcome to the Chicago Auto Show where one Central class got to spend the day. This lucky class is digital video production, more often known as DVP, taught by Mr. Russo.

One assignment is to create a news story at the Chicago Auto Show (student video example above). A student or a group must film, interview, and produce in a news reporting style, on their choice of topic. Students come with video cameras, microphones, tri-pods and all to get the job done. After completing their interviews and getting all of their footage, there is plenty of free time to explore the auto show.

In the class, students fulfill their acting, directing and editing dreams. They get to be a creator and also the star.

DVP is a semester long course in which students create commercials, music videos, mini movies, and more. All of the assignments are productions that they make personally.
