The latest activities in the Video Production Class is the Spartan Network News.  The students have completed two editions and have many interviews.   The first show had a several mistakes but the students have reviewed the show and the 2nd show and the news stories shows that the students have learned from their mistakes and it is much improved over the first show.   The Photo and Video class finished the Photocomposition assignment by putting still images into a video with key frames or Ken Burns effect.  What this means is they made the pictures move on the screen.  The video portion of the assignment also introduced them to creating a voice over to describe the pictures as they relate to the rules of photo composition.   This class has now started to plan for a Lipdub.  This is a tribute to the old school with the students walking through the school lip syncing to Jackson Fives ABC.  Next year we will make a sequel for the new high school.
