Student news

The Telecom TV students are back! They jumped right into video production the first week of school.

The TV- I students got tours of the station and the remote TV production truck, learned how to set up tripods and video cameras, and for their first project, recorded green screen introductions (recording each other speaking about themselves in front of a green background). They then edit the videos using AVID to add a background of their choice, as well as music, to complete the video. They are also learning how to adjust the audio with music playing as they are speaking on camera. Next, they will begin their camera certification where they will record five camera shots along with a standup and close on camera.  They will edit it together to further their editing skills.

TV-II students went straight to brainstorming for the VSBA (Virginia School Boards Association) video contest. For this project, they produce and edit a 30-second video centered around the given theme, which this year is "Rooted in Education." There will be three groups of six or seven students, so three videos will be created. A winner will be chosen from the three groups to represent NNPS since only one video may be submitted for each district.
