At Hope High School, Mrs. Ewing has jumped in head-first to make Digital Cinema an incredible course for our students. Magnet has huge plans for a full-scale Bobcat Broadcasting program. Until the studio is installed, Mrs. Ewing's classes are preparing for their upcoming production roles by launching an all new student newspaper! Students will take turns editing, filming, writing, interviewing and reporting news from their own perspectives, all while using various digital and print mediums. More information will be released soon about this awesome project. #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture
Dr. Crossley read "The King of Kindergarten" to Ms. Irvin's class today! He said, "The students were great and asked wonderful questions!" #GoBobcats #ALLIN #HopeForTheFuture
Sarah Elizabeth Guevara, recently with ABC and now with MSNBC from Washington DC, talks with Mr. Herron's Broadcasting students at HAPS about reporting, the importance of keeping historical figures, such as MLK, in the public mind and other broadcasting topics.
She then had the students work on camera skills such as angles, action/reaction, face placement within a shot, and storyboarding. The students then pretended to argue over a small item in order to discuss shot placement, storytelling, and the creative process.
Students learned how to improve and hone their skills for future projects in the Broadcasting class. This was such a cool, hands-on, real-world experience!
