TV Production
The Winter Springs High School TV Production CAPE Academy blends technical expertise with creative storytelling to prepare students for success in the fast-paced world of digital media. Through hands-on, project-based learning, students explore every stage of video production—from concept development and scriptwriting to filming, editing, and broadcasting. With access to a fully functioning TV studio, students gain real-world experience operating professional equipment and producing content in a collaborative, studio environment.
In post-production, students develop advanced editing and visual effects skills using industry-standard software such as Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. The program also provides valuable opportunities for students to earn college credits and achieve industry certifications in editing and multimedia software, giving them a competitive edge for both higher education and future careers in media production.
Digital Photography
The Digital Photography program introduces students to the fundamentals of professional photography by teaching camera functions, manual shooting techniques, and the elements of strong visual design. Students gain hands-on experience capturing images at real school events such as various sports games, performances, and activities, helping them build practical skills and confidence behind the camera. This course provides a strong foundation for students interested in exploring photography as a creative skill or future career path. No camera is needed - the teacher will provide the equipment needed for the course.
Yearbook
The Yearbook program gives students hands-on experience creating and producing a school publication, Ursidae yearbook, while learning the fundamentals of journalism, photojournalism, and media production. Students develop skills in writing, photography, design, marketing, and project management while exploring the ethics and career opportunities within journalism. Through collaboration and real-world responsibilities, which include occasional after-school work time, ad sales, and attending journalism conventions/workshops, students play an active role in documenting the school year and telling the stories of their campus community.
