TV Production

Television Production

Television production prepares students to operate TV cameras, recorders, and editors as well as the associated audio, video, switching, and processing equipment. Many students go on to complete their studies at a university or specialized technical school following high school graduation. Student leadership and independence are stressed as students employ program proposals, scripts, and storyboards to produce and refine professional productions.

TV Production at Patriot

Patriot High School’s new TV Production program is an interest-based transfer program and is open to any student on the western end of Prince William County (west of Hoadly Road). There will be a limited number of seats for students outside of the Patriot boundary.

The complete program will consist of the following courses:

  • Video/Media Tech
  • TV Production 1

Additional Course options include:

  • Sports Marketing
