Lights, Camera, Action!!!

These are words very familiar to Georgia over the years, as the film industry in the Peach State is booming!

According to Georgia.org, "With its temperate climate, great variety of locations, the world's busiest airport (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport), large crew base, and pro-business focus, Georgia is now a leading destination in the world of filming."

Georgia has been home to various projects, such as feature films, television movies, reality shows and television series. With that each year, the film industry brings in over $5 billion to Georgia's economy!

So, from the growing film industry along with the only high school Film Academy in the country, at Central Film Academy, right across the street from us, we have a unique opportunity to have an A/V Broadcast & Film Connection here at Otwell!

Exploring A/V Broadcast & Film Course Description: This course provides an exploratory foundation in Audio/Video Broadcast & Film. Topics covered include, but are not limited to: terminology, equipment/set safety, basic equipment, script writing, production teams, production and programming, lighting, recording and editing, podcasting, studio production, and professional ethics needed in the A/V Broadcast & Film industries.

Check out how Otwell Middle School is breaking into the world of A/V & Broadcasting!
