Well, video production programs in the Clark County School District are doing some pretty cool things.

For example, at Desert Oasis High School, students are creating videos about a Women's History Month speaking series at their own school, featuring prominent women in our own community.

We tagged along to learn more about what students learn as they put the pieces together.

(Aaliyah Thompson) Basically, we're here to showcase to our peers about different women and different types of careers and their stories and how they got here and what they had to do to succeed.

(Brianne Bautista) We had to quickly prep in like the 10 minutes that we had before the speaker came, and we had to have things rolling to like set up.

Cameras, make sure cameras are working.

Make sure we had our SD cards.

(Talan Frisco) We have to be coordinated and make sure everything works.

Because if anything fails, it'll ruin the project.

It's really important we get it right.

(Christopher James) It is a real world opportunity.

The Women in Leadership speaker series is now in its 8th year here at DO, and this is an opportunity for these students to practice something that they might actually do if they were videographers, if they were reporters, if they worked on news magazines for video, etc.

-Before spring breaks, like two weeks ago, we went into the theater.

And we kind of watched another speaker come and kind of planned that out, like where do we want our cameras to be, what type of shots that we want to happen, what to make.

-It's important to get a lot of variety in the footage.

It's important to keep, you know, the whole scene really dynamic.

-The students are learning to tell stories, creating stories.

And they're using technology, they're using preplanning processes where they learn how to backwards plan, they learn how to allocate resources, they learn how to deploy those resources, and then take everything that they've recorded or captured and edit it, put together something for a consumer to watch or listen or see.

-If you like your job, you never have to work a day in your life.

It's important for me that I pursue this because it's something I enjoyed doing.

-I fell in love with video production.

-I liked it here.

I like my teacher.

I want to work in this field when I'm older.

So I'm learning a lot, and I'm very confident I can do this.

-I can't wait to see what they produce.

-I'm with you.

I can't wait to see what these talented students create.
