Final Portfolio Requirements

Your Final Portfolio is worth 200 points---- 2/3 of your Final Exam.  If you do not turn in a Final Portfolio by the Deadline (Tue., May 7th), you will fail the Final Exam. 
Here's what you will need IN THIS ORDER!!!

  1. Your recorded, edited Introduction.  MUST include all requested info (responsibilities, technical and professional skills, how this will help you).  Quality Audio & Visuals COUNT.
  2. One or Two Clips from our Broadcasts that represent the work you have done.  Use Voice Overs or titles to explain how these examples represent your work.
  3. Your Fall Semester "Beat" Report.
  4. Your Spring Semester "Special" Report or Special Assignment.
  5. Credits, including what jobs you did on the portfolio, and everyone who helped you.

Create the Portfolio in iMovie.  On Thursday, I'll demonstrate how to "Chapter" the project.
When finished, export a Full Quality Quick Time to your Desktop

Tuesday, April 23rd

SENIORS:  Time to start shooting your Intro Script.  If you don't do this during class this week, you'll have to find time outside of school to complete it. Raw footage is due next Tuesday for 10 points.

Underclassmen: Time to start writing your Intro Script.  Turn in by end of class TODAY for 10 points.... If you're already done, I could use some help with a side project.  We need to create a trailer for our upcoming Film Festival, to show as a commercial on our show.

SENIOR MOMENTS:  Finish recording today.  Those Seniors not shooting their intro will edit the slides and audio together, so that we can start running those next week.

THIS THURSDAY, we'll meet here and go to the Fine Arts Cultural Event in the GYM.  I will take attendance, and we will sit together as a class.  We may or may not do the show on Thursday.....stay tuned.

Friday, April 19th

Graded scripts will be returned today.

If you have an 8 out of 10 or higher:  Make adjustments to script in Celtx, print yourself a copy and schedule shooting.  Plan to begin shooting next Tuesday.

If you have a 7 out of 10 or lower:  You may not schedule shooting until you have fixed and resubmitted your script to me.  You are missing information, or did not put sufficient effort into the script.


Today, any seniors present will record voice-overs for Senior Moments (quotes from Mr. Leh's class).

Juniors:  Start your intro script.  Erick and Elias have a separate assignment.


 Everyone should follow the steps on the blog to view, and download, recorded segments from this semester's broadcast, for use in your portfolio.

Script due at end of class today

ALL students must submit their one- to two-page script (created in Celtx) today by the end of class.  You can use the "Film" or "Audio Video" format, whichever you prefer.

The script should be specific, and describe location(s), shot types, who is speaking, and exactly what is being said in the dialogue portion.  DO NOT SUMMARIZE--- you will receive a ZERO and your script will be returned to you for revision.

Plan on shooting your introduction in the next week----either during class, or outside of class time (you can check out equipment from me).  That will give you a week to edit, while you are choosing and editing clips from this semester's broadcasts.  

See the post below from Tuesday for instructions on how to download recorded broadcast sessions.

Agenda for Friday, April 12th

  1.  Make sure you have an updated version of your project on the Hard Drive, and on Google Drive.  We'll start running these reports on Tuesday, so they must be in Google Drive.
  2. We'll start your Final Portfolio.  See the Assignment Outline (on the right of this page) for full info.  Step 1:  Complete a written response (in Word) to the questions below.  Save on your Desktop.
    • Introduce yourself, and the class you're in.
    • Tell us about your Television Broadcasting class this year.
    • What jobs have you performed this year?
    • Can you explain some of the responsibilities you've held this year?
    • Talk a little bit about some of the technical skills you've learned this year?  (This should focus on equipment, techniques, processes.)
    • Can you describe some of the professional skills you've learned this year?  (This should focus on skills, job performance, concepts and principles you've learned.)
    • What benefit will this class have on your future?
  3. Once this has been completed, you may log in to the Google Drive thru our jag email    (ahahstv@gmail.com, password: jaguarnews) and begin reviewing recorded segments to choose your work samples.

Let's Spiff It Up, Eh?

Whaddaya say....after we finish peer critiques this morning, let's go back and make the modifications to your project that were suggested during the critique.  It'll result in a better project....and a better grade.

That DOES mean re-submitting on the hard drive AND on Google Drive, but remember.....you have an audience of, like, 2500 people watching this, so it should be your best quality work.

We are going to start airing the special reports next Tuesday.  YAY!
