Students in Video Production develop their skills in script writing, videography, editing, and creating their own sound tracks. They produce a wide variety of films in many genres including narrative, documentary, commercials, satire and animation. The best of their work is included in Greens Farms Arts and News (GFAN), the student video presentation to the entire high school community.
The teacher is filmmaker and videographer, Paul Shapiro, who presides over a much-anticipated compilation of student films several times yearly. In addition, GFA video students are making a name for themselves at film festivals and competitions throughout the State.

Below are videos from former GFA students, both winners of Scholastic's regional art awards. Tucker Pearson '11 and Cooper Gordon '11 won the Silver Key award for their video about John Hafey's (GFA faculty) experiences in the Vietnam War. Avery Salinger '12 also won the Silver Key award for his video about ESPN's Mike & Mike in the Morning show.
