Episode 1 2013

The first episode is all scripted, the anchors have their scripts at home and are practising, practising and practising. Most of the stories are filmed and uploaded to imovie.
These are some of the things that have gone really well over the last 2 weeks:

• We had a fantastic team of editors working through last Friday on it Georgia N, Emma and Emily.
• Our expert camera teams worked super-efficiently to film our stories.
• Presenters and reporters were totally prepared they knew exactly what they wanted to say and how they wanted to say it. 
• The crew are getting into the habit of putting the cameras on charge as soon as they come back to the studio, and of immediately uploading and deleting footage off the cameras.
• The crew are trying to move around the school quietly so they make the least disruption to classes and get the filming done efficiently.
• Everyone works really well together.
• Everyone chipped in to help match the anchor scripts and the story scripts for episode 1.
• More experienced crew are helping the less experienced gain skills in producing stories and editing.
• Crew are leaving the studio tidy and organised.
• Crew are problem-solving effectively to create the show they want to present.
• Crew are motivated and independent when working on stories.
• Everyone is managing their own behaviour extremely well- even when things get frustrating or scary or don't work or we have to re-shoot!

I am super impressed with the effort everyone is making so far. I am looking forward to filming the anchor segment this Friday. 

• Anchors- (Finn and Samuel) please remember to wear any colour clothing but green this Friday, as we will shoot in front of a green screen for the first time. 
• Anchors: Whaea Tia, Mr Pesefea and Sally all have copies of your script in their google drive.
• Crew: Ryan on the camera, Chantelle directing and Weston assistant.

Well done! Caroline.

Lesson 1: Camera Skills

It's only Week 2, we haven't even met up yet, and still your Wave TV teacher is giving out homework!!!! Sad but true.

Click on the tab bar above this post where it says WTV 2013 Camera Skills. Read through the four tutorials and watch the video posted there before next Friday. When we meet we'll talk about what you've found out, work out which shots or angles you'd like to experiment with, then we'll video or photograph them and present to the crew.

• A goal for the day is also to identify the shots we will probably use the most while making Wave TV News.

Extra if you're super-keen:
Practise these shots at home if you have a camera or a video camera or ipad or ipod etc. For some shots it doesn't matter if you're videoing or photographing. You could show us what you've done on Friday

Don't worry if it doesn't all make sense yet as we'll go over it on Friday. Happy Homeworking!
Caroline

Welcome to Wave TV 2013!

I hope everyone at Paremata School had a great holiday! I had a marvellous break. Most of my time was spent in the Nelson area with my parents. I went to the river and the beach a lot, trawled through junk shops for treasures and went for the odd bush walk. If you look closely in the photo you can see where I walked to one day.
I am really looking forward to getting back into Wave TV. The 2012 crew did a fantastic job of identifying news stories, scripting, filming/ presenting and editing. They showed a huge level of motivation and commitment.
I have 2 start-up goals for the 2013 crew and both of them are about communication.

• We need to get better at communicating what we do here at Wave TV with our school community. 
• The second thing to improve is around helping the school communicate with us. Have we really got all the stories? What do we know about what goes on in classrooms and syndicates? How can we get better at finding out? These are the questions I will be asking the crew when we have our first Wave TV meeting on Friday February 15th, in Week 2.

As many of you know, I have won a Ministry of Education study award for 2013 to work on the final year of a Master of Education degree. My area of interest is in effectively incorporating technology/ ICT into teaching and learning to enhance learning. I will spend the year working on a thesis around this topic. Luckily for me, Wave TV is a wonderful example of using ICT effectively and creatively for learning so developing Wave TV into the best student TV we can create is what the thesis will be all about. I'll be in school working with the crew at the Wave TV studio (old dental clinic) all day every Friday. I'll sometimes be in during the week as well.

Wave TV is all about students telling their own school stories. Along the way they are developing skills in visual language, narrative, digital storytelling, reading, creativity, writing, reporting, identifying appropriate ways to present information, critical thinking, problem solving, film-making, working as a team, student led learning, analysis, writing for an audience and much more. It is also great fun!

I am really looking forward to Wave TV 2013!

2013 News Anchors

The news anchors have the job of scripting and presenting the introduction and closing to each episode of Wave TV. They also connect the stories in each episode. Its a responsible job where students need to work in a team with the camera crew, the director and each other to produce episodes.

• Stories are scripted by the Anchors in the Wave TV wiki. 
• The Anchor script is printed out. Anchors & the news crew keep a copy.
• Anchors have a week to practise and perfect the script in their own time and with Wave TV coaches, making any necessary script improvements.
• The script is enlarged and used as a prompt during filming. 
• After filming, the Anchors edit and approve their segments.

First choice for being an anchor in 2013 was given to the year 8s as this will be their final year at Paremata School. 20 year 8s volunteered so we will need to make 10 episodes for everyone to get a turn. If you have changed your mind about anchoring please tell me ASAP. I'll send out permission slips for you and your caregivers to sign on Monday 26th November. Thank you all for volunteering. We couldn't make Wave TV without our wonderful anchors!
Thanks, Caroline.
