 Broadcasting will focus on the production of Country Day School News. You will be asked to create individual projects that show your ability to speak publicly, and handle film equipment successfully. Projects are flexible and subject to change. This project will train students on camera operation and basic video editing in iMovie. Students will hunt from a list of scenes and edit footage into a montage. The project introduces Garage Band for creating original music to match three different video clips. This project emphasizes script writing, voice and narration. Students will write a script for a piece of stock video and record a voiceover in GarageBand. This project focuses on learning different camera shots and movements. Students will identify different shots in video clips, shoot different shots with cameras and edit footage into a montage. Students will begin producing weekly news shows that will be aired on Fridays. Students will rotate through various production roles for one-week periods and complete all tasks associated with producing a televised news show – planning, script writing, shooting, and editing. Advertising Project: This project introduces advertising concepts such as persuasion and audience. Students will create an original 30-second commercial for a school event or activity. Students will meet with the event sponsor to gather information, develop a concept, shoot footage and edit the final product. Final products will be shown on Skyview News broadcasts. Interview Project: This project focuses on developing interview skills such as etiquette and questioning. Students will find a school-related subject and set up an interview with them. They will conduct research and write questions before shooting the interview, editing the footage and producing a final version that will be shown on Skyview News. Week Ten: Public Service Announcement Project Students will create an original PSA from start to finish. They will brainstorm ideas, script and storyboard, shoot footage, and edit a final version. Event Spotlight Project: This project will require students to create a 2-minute segment highlighting a recent school event. Students are expected to shoot footage at an after school event, gather research about the event, and interview a person associated with it. Final products will be shown on Skyview News. Person of the Week Project: This project will expand on interview skills and include a brief biographical introduction of the interviewee. Emphasis will be placed on better questioning techniques and generating follow-up questions. Final interviews will be broadcast on Skyview News.
