Altoona Area Vocational Technical School
Multi-Media/ Web Design Effectively interacting with an audience on many levels, from graphics to audio, is the challenge in this field. Corporate websites and interactive CD-ROMs and training materials become a canvas in the professional world. New opportunities for those with broadcast skills are opening. There is a steady increase of round-the-clock news channels and specialty channels. Future developments in high definition television may permit expansion to more than 1000 channels. The best prospects for beginners will be in small stations throughout the United States. Work environments may also include editing/graphics suites from your own home, corporate video studios, or movie studios. Broadcast stations and independent production companies usually provide a well-lit, air-conditioned and comfortable work environment. Although much of the work is completed indoors, many productions will require videotaping from remote locations. Further Education Opportunities Students from this course may continue their education by attending a two-year or four-year college or technical school. Students are presently working in local television studios and independent production houses. Students also provide the technical staff for live studio productions which are cablecast on the Public Access Channel. Students also produce videos for the school and the community. The class has won numerous awards for various video productions.
