Making Media
Today, more media is available to everyday people than ever before. At the same time, there have never been more ways for people to create and distribute media of their own. Making Media explores both the technical and artistic sides of making books, movies, music, podcasts, video games, and web content. The series covers the tools and techniques that professionals use to create these different forms of media. It also discusses how independent creators can use consumer-level technology to make their own media. Aligned to Common Core Standards and correlated to state standards.
