Project Timeline Beginning My TV met for 3 hours a day, 4 days a week, for 7 weeks. The goal was to produce one 30-minute episode of the documentary television show “Zoom In.” A video project is divided into three stages: Pre-Production (brainstorming, research, writing, scripting, and storyboarding) Production (hands-on work: camerawork, sound, acting, directing, interviewing) Post-Production (reviewing footage, editing, creating music, and adding graphics & titling)

Project Timeline The production of Zoom In was divided into 4 basic segments: Pre-Production 1: Fundamentals (weeks 1-2) Pre-Production 2: Planning the Show (weeks 3-4) Production: Executing the Concept (weeks 5-6) Post-Production: Filling in the Gaps (week 7)

Project Timeline Pre-Production 1: Fundamentals (weeks 1-2): What is media and what does it do? Students focused on: The language of video production (jargon) Watching & analyzing different video productions Conducting small research & writing projects Learning to present an idea or a project in front of a group Learning to brainstorm as a group Generating ideas for the show topic

Project Timeline Pre-Production 2: Planning the Show (weeks 3-4) Developing skills and content By week 3, the students had decided on the show topic, “Negative images in the Media” Students focused on: Working in groups to learn the various jobs of a video crew (camera, lights, sound, director, producer) Preparing and filming mock interviews, rotating different jobs on the crew and on-camera roles. Watching media relevant to their show topic Writing skits to be produced into show segments

Project Timeline Production: Executing the Concept (weeks 5-6) Producing the content of Zoom In Students focused on: Scheduling, planning, and filming interviews with local organizations and community members who have a particular insight into negative images in the media Field production: students went out into the community and conducted “man-on-the-street” interviews Directing, producing, and acting in skits for show segments

Successful Strategies Immediate media: every exercise was followed with a presentation of what they produced. Podcasts & Blogs were integrated into the class so that there was a natural synthesis between the technology we were teaching and the technology that students already used. Listen to radio podcasts at www.baycat.org! Improv and theater exercises were used to build trust and community and to improve participation, creativity, and on-camera skills. A presentation for family and friends immediately after the class gave the students a sense of success and completion and helped them see how their participation created their success.
