Week six blog

Hi Everyone. We are at the point of Episode 4 where the computer is at a bottle neck with everyone editing their stories and other people uploading Episode 5 footage and photos. We plan sometime in the future to have 2 or 3 computers on the go, and have one imovie project for each episode. Unless someone can suggest a clever alternative?

In other Wave TV news Louis and Adam did a great job of practising with the green screen to try to get their lighting right so they didn't turn see through. Well done!

These are the things we need to do this Friday. I love seeing Jake and Chenthi taking over the blog organisation here. Thanks Abby and Yasmine for your organising as well. Thanks, Caroline.

Episode 4
  • Emily and Weston Fairy Day- edit photos & music
  • Emma and Georgie -Tech story- edit
  • Ryan and Isaac- Westpac story- photos from Mr Pesefea- edit - music
  • Yasmine and Nick- SPCA edit - photos - music
Episode 5
  • Workshop script with reporters and Lachlan and Dylan first thing.
  • Chenthi and Georgia script Camp intro at 9:30
  • Abby and Jake- New Teachers- film 9:30
  • Lyndsay and Melman x country film 2:00
  • Are your crews all organised?

Week 5 Friday Meeting

Hi Everyone,
Well done with Episode 4 last Friday. Everyone worked efficiently and thoughtfully to get this episode  filmed and partially edited. I read somewhere that Peter Jackson said that editing is where the movie is really made. It is true that during editing you are making all those important decisions about the look, sound and feel of the stories for Wave TV. You are becoming increasingly skilled at using imovie and the results are really telling the stories well. I hope your audience is enjoying viewing Wave TV as much as we are enjoying making them. If you are a Wave TV audience please leave us some constructive feedback in the comments below.

Planning for Friday
  • Watch Episode 4 so far and critique it.
  • Organise what we need to do today and timetable the computer for editing.
  • Get any extra photos and footage together.
  • Emily and Weston need a photo for your fairy day background. Emily can you access one?
  • Editing editing editing.
  • Anything else?
  • Georgie, are you filming or photographing the Cross Country? Feel free to use the WTV camera. Please let me know in a comment how that went. I wonder what the weather will do?
Please remember to leave a comment below so I know you have read this post. See you on Friday. Caroline.

Week 4 Friday Meeting

Wow! It's nearly the middle of the year! That is amazing. We have committed to at least 10 episodes this year to accommodate all the year 8s who were keen to anchor. We are working on Episode 4 this Friday and it is nearly June so I think we are making great progress. It's natural that we would go more slowly in the first term while we are getting used to Wave TV and new classes. Soon we will be like pros!

It was great to work out who needs or wants to get better at what skills last week. Milly, Hayden and Ben were at Writer's Group at that time so can add their names on Friday. I liked the way people used the list to select crews who had less experience in that area, such as camera work and directing. It'd be great sometime to go over our job descriptions as I think they need updating. You will have a better idea of what you do in each role than I do.

Ok, organisation for this week. Let's get Episode 4 as close to complete as possible.

  • Editing. Lots of it. We need to timetable ourselves so people are editing their stories in 40 min blocks all day.  
  • We'll also need a general editing crew for credits and titles- perhaps Milly and Ryan after morning tea? Or Hayden and Ben? 
  • Filming- Anchors only I think, but there may be more. After morning tea?
  • Louis and Adam- where will you film? Will you green screen or be somewhere around the school?
  • Who were the crew for the Anchor filming? Was it Troy and Isaac?
Anything else? Add it below. Please remember to write in a comment below to let me know you've read the blog post. Thanks and see you on Friday. Caroline.

Hmm, I wonder what stories these pictures are from?

Week 3 Term 2 Friday Meeting

Hi Everyone,
I was really impressed with the way you smoothly organised yourselves last Friday. We achieved a lot because of that. Well done!
  • This Friday we need to fully complete Episode 3. We are so close! 
Episode 4 Filming Friday
Reporters need to choose locations to suit your stories. Think about wind sound, people sound and light/ shadows. Let me know where you will film in a comment below.
  • Louis and Adam- Practise, practise and practise your lines so they are smoooooth and natural :)
Friday's To Do List
  • View Episode 3 & critique.
  • Organise what we need to do to finish it.
  • Practice Episode 4 with Anchors and Reporters.
  • Plan the day's editing and filming.
  • Chenthi & Kai- you have your own morning plan?
  • Get scripts, locations and reporters ready for filming.
  • Film anchors and stories- times are on most scripts.
  • Download footage straight into the computer. Delete from the camera. Put the camera on charge.
We need to delete lots of old footage off the cameras. Are there any volunteers for this? Write in a comment if you are keen, otherwise I will select some deleters.

What stories are these from?
