MULTIMEDIA BROADCAST
I have experimented with using videos as a way to show the news. Whether it is full of interviews, activities available around the school, or reasons to join journalism, I have worked with taking our news to the next level. It has been proven that people today have shorter attention spans; they want to get as much done as possible and jump from one activity to the next. I create videos that are short and interesting enough to grab their attention. I usually work with iMovie, where I make the set of video clips flow easily and audio become crisp and clear.
The DECA Prom Fashion Show is a yearly event at South. Last year, I had written about it and had included a photo slideshow. This year, I chose to do something different; I took interview videos of the models and teachers in charge of the event and created a broadcast video. This was my third time using iMovie for journalism purposes, so I was able to create the video easily.
Similar to the DECA Prom Fashion Show, I had covered the Trunk or Treat last year as a photo collage and wanted to do something different. I took videos at the event and interviewed people who made the Trunk or Treat possible. I used what I learned from making the Positive Outlets video to make this one successful.
Every year, the journalism staff works in groups to create recruitment videos for the class. This was the one that my group and I made together. We shot the video footage, and I edited it all together through iMovie.
This was the first video I had made for the journalism class. I experimented with iMovie and learned how to make an effective video.
