They spent the semester working on camera operation, audio engineering, graphics, video engineering, floor directing, editing and scriptwriting.<\/p>\n<p>Creative media student <strong>Elisabeth Saras<\/strong> said putting her education to use in the field and learning on the job was incredibly valuable.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;From the first production we did I was on camera, operating a camera,&rdquo; said Saras. &ldquo;I didn&#8217;t know what I was doing but just having the encouragement, and you know, you learn on the spot and realize what not to do and what to do. I think that\u2019s really important, and that\u2019s what they provided for us.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the workplace experience, students earned college credit for their work at N\u0101 Leo and also received a stipend. It\u2019s not the first &ldquo;learn and earn&rdquo; program at the college, but it\u2019s an example of the college\u2019s renewed effort to add similar opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>Chancellor <strong>Rachel Solemsaas<\/strong> said the college is currently seeking partners interested in hosting students as well as donors seeking to fund opportunities for students.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Hearing from the students who worked at N\u0101 Leo on how eye-opening it was for them, just confirms to me the value of this type of opportunity,&rdquo; said Solemsaas. &ldquo;If students are able to earn money in addition to the credits and the experience, it can help support their education while building those soft skills often learned beyond the classroom.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<h2>More About the Creative Media Program<\/h2>\n<p><span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> <abbr>CC<\/abbr> established its creative media associate degree program in 2016, and since then enrollment has grown. There are currently 51 students majoring in creative media at <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> <abbr>CC<\/abbr>. New technology is also helping the college to expand the reach of the program. Using state-of-the-art equipment, students learn photography, videography, video editing, graphic design, animation and more.<\/p>\n<p>Creative media lecturer <strong>Steve Parente<\/strong> said program graduates can find work as graphic designers, photographers and more. &ldquo;These are bread-and-butter jobs that are going to be anywhere.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The creative media associate\u2019s degree was built upon the success of a digital media arts certificate that has been offered at <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> <abbr>CC<\/abbr> since 2005. The associate\u2019s degree offers a higher level of training and the option to transfer to creative media bachelor\u2019s degree programs at <abbr title=\"东精影业\">东精影业<\/abbr> M\u0101noa or <abbr>东精影业<\/abbr> West <span aria-label=\"Oahu\">O&#699;ahu<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8212;By Thatcher Moats<\/em><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_112132\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-112132\" style=\"width: 676px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hawaii-cc-creative-media.jpg\" alt=\"students filming\" width=\"676\" height=\"381\" class=\"size-full wp-image-112132\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hawaii-cc-creative-media.jpg 676w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hawaii-cc-creative-media-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/hawaii-cc-creative-media-130x73.jpg 130w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 676px) 100vw, 676px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-112132\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Noa Gagner, left, and Philip Bayly capture video footage in Hilo for a class assignment.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New television internship part of &ldquo;learn and earn&rdquo; programs pushed by <span aria-label=\"Hawaii\">Hawai&#699;i<\/span> <abbr>CC<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[25],"tags":[549,61,71,56],"class_list":["post-112128","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-academic-news","tag-creative-media","tag-hawaii-community-college","tag-uh-community-colleges","tag-video-2","entry","has-media"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112128","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112128"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112128\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":113383,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112128\/revisions\/113383"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112128"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112128"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112128"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
