A. COMMUNICATIONSTECHNOLOGY FUNDAMENTALS
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
A1. demonstrate an understanding of the core concepts, techniques, and skills required to produce a range of audio, video, broadcast journalism, graphic arts, and printing and publishing products or services;
A2. demonstrate an understanding of technical terminology, scientific concepts, and mathematical concepts used in audio and video production, broadcast journalism, graphic arts, and printing and publishing, and apply them to the creation of media products;
A3. demonstrate an understanding of and apply the interpersonal skills necessary to work effectively in a team setting.
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS
By the end of this course, students will:
A1.1 demonstrate an understanding of technologi- cal concepts (e.g., aesthetics, control, environmen- tal sustainability, ergonomics, fabrication/building/ creation, function, innovation, material, mechanism, power and energy, safety, structure, systems) and their relevance to the design and creation of media projects (see pp. 7–8);
A1.2 use audio, video, broadcast journalism, graphic arts, and publishing equipment safely and correctly to perform basic production tasks or create simple products (e.g., shoot footage with a video camera, set up microphones, operate a sound board, print a pamphlet on various printing devices);
A1.3 use video editing, audio editing, graphic arts, and publishing software correctly to per- form basic production tasks or create simple products (e.g., use dissolves and fades, stop motion; add titles; create simple layouts, logos);
A1.4 demonstrate an understanding of the creative skills and techniques required to produce effec- tive video, audio, broadcast journalism, graphic arts, and print products (e.g., lighting techniques, recording techniques, blocking techniques, editing techniques, interviewing and journalistic writing techniques, colour matching);
A1.5 identify the components of audio, video, graphic arts, and printing systems (e.g., video cameras, editing software, switchers, microphones, audio mixers, computers, monitors, platesetters, different types of presses [offset, flexographic, gravure, letterpress], inkjet and electrostatic print- ers, bindery equipment) and devices (e.g., camera controls, sensor, recording media, connectors, toner, roller, ozone filter), and describe their functions;
A1.6 use safe and appropriate methods for installing, transporting, and storing audio, video, broadcast journalism, and graphic arts equipment (e.g., cameras, tripods, lights, micro- phones, teleprompters, portable mixers, cables, scanners) and setting up printing equipment;
A1.7 apply design principles (e.g., balance, rhythm, proportion, contrast, and flow) and elements
(e.g., colour, line, space, form, and texture) to communicate an idea or concept.
By the end of this course, students will:
A2.1 demonstrate an understanding of terminology related to video and audio production, broadcast journalism, graphic arts, and publishing, and use it correctly in oral and written communica- tion (e.g., sampling rate, aspect ratio, headroom, continuity, offline media, closure, voice-over, tag, spot colour, colour mode);
