We have just completed the second week of the third trimester and students are well on their way at completing the stories for the first show of Spartan Network News. Some of the stories include and interview with Mrs. K and her feelings about being a cancer surviver and the related fund raiser, the prom and promenade what goes into getting ready, Footloose, a great performance by the cast and crew. These stories and more will be completed by Wednesday at which time the studio is going to get its workout as students make the first taping of SNN Trimester 3 for the 2012 season. On another note this class and the Photo and Video class are beginning to work on the Lipdub. This lipdub will be a tribute to the old Uxbridge High School. Next year a follow-up or sequel is to follow as a tribute to the new school. Should be fun but it is a lot of planning.

Students will produce the news show for the high school which is called Spartan News Network. They create both news stories and Public Service Announcements to include in the program.   With students working as a studio crew they will follow a Student Director as they give the prompts that will add the music, camera images of the talent or news anchors, and microphones.  

Uxbridge High School has a great opportunity to include video classes as part of the Technology Education Department.  These classes allow students to learn how to make better videos as a hobby for home viewing, for classmates and parents at school and for some this maybe a stepping stone to a possible career in the video technology industry.

Welcome to the new blog which hopes to help students understand how to create great video!
