Week 2 Term 3

Hi Everyone,
Thanks for your patience while the our three WTV groups produce Episodes 7, 8 and 9 this term. It will be interesting to see how it goes making each episode with a smaller crew. Everyone will need to be a bit busier.
Episode 5 and 6 are getting there. Episode 5 just needs a few tweaks from Abby, Jake, Chenthi and Georgia then it is good to go. Hopefully we can get this done this week.
Episode 6 needs the anchors shot so we will need to find a time to get that done with Callum and Harrison. I think everything except that part is finished in the white lappy.

Keep an eye on WOT in case your name is called for something.
Thanks, Caroline.

It won't take much to figure out what story this picture is from!

Mid-Year Holidays

We are now halfway through our school year and have published 4 episodes of Wave TV. Our next episode is all filmed and going through the editing process. It should be published onto the school website by the end of Week One Term 3.

Episode 6 is partially filmed and also going through the editing process. I apologise to Callum for not printing out the episode 6 anchor's script last Friday. Callum and Harrison, if you are keen to practise you can find the script on the wiki. We will workshop this script in Week One of Term 3 to make sure it fits with the stories. We won't be able to use greenscreening in this episode because the white lappy that we are editing on only can cope with imovie 08.

 We are committed to making 10 episodes this year to accommodate all the year 8 people who were interested in being anchors. We are well on track with Episodes 7, 8 and 9 due to come out in Term 3 as well.

As the Wave TV Crew know, Wave TV will look a little different in Term 3. I will be at school all of Week One getting everything from Term 2 as completed as possible and prepping for our longer sessions. I will send for you as needed using What's on Top or student runners. Or watch the blog. We will have three two week sessions of Wave TV with small crews each producing one episode. Group One will make their show in Weeks 2 & 3 (5-16 August), Group Two in Weeks 5 & 6 (26 August- 6 September), and Group Three will be in Weeks 8 & 9 (16-27 September).

Some of our lovely WTV students are away in various interesting and exciting parts of the world right now. I wonder if they will remember to post here to let us know what they're up to? I hope so!

Have a wonderful restful break everyone. I will see you on Monday in Week One Term1! Ka kite ano, Caroline.

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.

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.
