Log Cabin Village Saturday September 27th

We had a great time filming at Log Cabin Village on Saturday.  The weather was beautiful and there were several people in attendance.  The students worked on their film skills.  They also interviewed various people on the grounds about their visit to LCV.  In the next week, the students will do a feature story on Log Cabin Village that will be posted upon completion.  Under the direction of Mr. Rinkel, we will also begin work on a documentary on life in the 1850s and 1860s focusing on cabin life and life during the civil war.  We hope to have it completed by March.  Below are some photos of our day at Log Cabin Village:

New Beginnings…

We are currently “off-air” as we reevaluate our newscast and focus.  Our start has been great, but we want to make sure we are doing our best bringing you the news from the school and community.  We are also learning camera skills, broadcast writing, and the steps of producing a documentary.  Our class is currently working on a documentary of Log Cabin Village, located in Kinmundy, Illinois.  We’ll post some photos from our video shoots this weekend.   We’ll be back soon.   We hope you’ll come back and visit us on this site.  Thanks for visiting…

Weekly Recap September 12-19

This week we began experimenting with the green screen and other options to change up our newscast.  We are working hard and things are starting to fall into place.  Next week, we will take a day and reflect and learn the techniques and tips of interviewing.  I hope to add a feature story to our newscast at least once a week.  I will also be evaluating job descriptions and move some job duties around.  I’m looking forward to next weeks newscasts.  Below are some pictures from the last two weeks:

Lincoln and Kari working on the audio.
