Written News Story


"Hey ravens! Today we have the inside scoop on the Olathe Northwest Dance Team. The rdt has finished working as a color guard for the Raven Pride Band and has now begun preparing for this seasons regionals and nationals. The dance team comes every morning at 7am to practice and workout to prepare for the competition season. During this time and Thursday night practices from 6-8, Varsity has finished learning all three of there national routines and started to cleaning those along with the home routine they learned for camp this summer. Jv has also been coming at 7am and is making just as much progress this season.

The varsity dance team has four routines that they compete at two regional competitions. These dances include there home routine from camp this summer which is lyrical/ contemporary, pom, jazz another contemporary dance, and mix. Mix is a combination of four different styles including jazz, kick, pom, and hip hop. Then in February the RDT takes a trip to Florida to compete their jazz, pom and mix routine NDA nationals"   This week in e-Comm we worked on learning how to create and write a news story. This process was very difficult at the beginning but after watching a few videos and getting started it got a lot easier. A news story is similar to an inverted triangle  because you start broad and get more detailed as you continue, only using the facts of course! I really enjoyed writing this news story because I got to write on something that interests me, the school dance team, and show my personality in a variety of different ways. I think I did a very good job of providing valid and important information in a short time, but for next time I would like to work on organization in my pieces because that is very important for the reader/ viewer to help understand.

Music Video

• Embed your work at the top of your blog post under your Title. These past few weeks in video we worked on recreating the Bet on It video from High School Musical 2. As a group we thought this video would be really fun to create and challenging in many ways. We also had a good idea for locations already so we thought it would be do able. We started with pre-production by dividing up the work to be efficient and effective because we wanted to have as much times as we could to film. We also decided Alex was going to act, Josh and Drew we going to mainly do the camera, and Maleah and I were going to help with choreography and making sure the video and our filming was the same and there wasn't anything weird going on. After we had footage we all edited together since we couldn't have everyone at the same time, so we had one person run editing and everyone else helping and we rotated the main editor. As a group I think we worked together really well and dealt with the issues w...

semester reflection

This semester in video we did four major projects. My two favorite projects were the procedure video and ONW now story. Since the procedure video was our first video of the semester it took a little longer, we had about two weeks to do this video. As a group we faced many challenges with the new cameras and refreshing our editing abilities but after getting started our group did well. We were given a lot of feedback on our storyboarding and timing so we did the storyboard again with more details to have a better plan. Throughout this project I learned a lot about the new cameras and set expectations for video this year. With the cheer project we only had a week. With this project we did not face a lot of challenges our group picked a continent topic and used our time well. The only challenge was writing the voice over but we all worked together and finally got it done. In this project I learned a lot about team work and time management. Overall I think my videos turned out good some w...

Movie Trailer

The past few weeks in video we were challenged to recreate a movie trailer. My group was assigned the movie Napoleon Dynamite. We started by doing pre production. First we storyboarded, made lists of locations, characters, and probs and then screen recorded the video to break up each scene. Pre-production went well and we got it all done in plenty of time even though at times some of our group was very distracted. Next we got started on the filming process, which started off rough because we had to wait on our props. Once we started filming went smoothly. A lot of out clips were at school so that made it easy to film using class but it was very hard because of our schedules to film outside of school. The last few days before the video was due we finished our filming. When we were outside of school the group got very distracted but we finally got all our clips filmed. The editing process was very rushed and I think could have been better. I edited the clips we had a t school and I t...
