Let's get ready! This week and next is practice week!
We have one of the most state-of-the-art news control rooms on the way to Eagle TV. Once set up and everyone is trained, Eagle TV will be incredible! I'm looking at one of the best fast-paced, graphic-heavy, informative and entertaining news shows EVER!
I have some ideas. Of course, your news packages will air; the ones you've already produced. But I would like to have some shorter pieces. Some funny ones, some serious live interviews, some teaching-type pieces, etc.
Here is Kell's second show show http://www.schooltube.com/video/68b640a8643f5cb05774/Hay-Kell-show-2
And here is Allatoona's show:
Although, I don't condone too much silliness, a little is okay. Here are some of my ideas:
--An on-set interview called "Eagle Flap", or something like that, on topics that are current. Usually an interview with a staff member who knows a little about this topic.
--Student opinion poll..."Heard from the Bird" on current events.
--"We have Class" A segment on the interesting things we are learning in our classes, or a segment on how to do a certain math or science problem.
--Word to the Wise...a poll to see if students know a word, (funny answers) then the definition. (kind of an SAT word of the week or something like that.)
--"Say What?" a feature on something funny like a question that has no right or wrong answer, most mispronounced words, funny trivia, etc.
--Around Town, a feature on a new place to eat or place to go
--This day in History, a filler....usually without video that we can use on short news days.
--Healthy Choice, a fitness and health segment. Could also feature some type of medical segment
--Read Any Good Books Lately? , a segment about what students and staff are reading right now
--Where are We?, A segment in a different part of the campus that not everyone has seen before (particularly timely with the construction)
--Before They Were Teachers, a segment on what teachers did before, well, they were teachers!
--Talon Talent, a spotlight on someone who has an unusual talent
--Pimp my Locker, spotlight someone's locker that is especially decked out
--Life Lessons, Students who have learned life lessons like getting to class on time, solving arguments, completing homework on time, etc.
--Dress Code Diva - a segment on dress code rules hosted by someone who is a diva.
--Laughter is the Best Medicine - a funny segment such as the birthday segment from Kell.
--???? What's your idea?
Come up with some segment ideas and a solid idea on how to produce it. It must be able to be produced in one week. Only a 30-40 second segment and it's needs an Open (5-10 seconds).
In order to do this show, we'll have to be sure to be really polished production-wise. We'll need to be able to think quickly on our feet, be able to be sharp on the air while questioning people and have a good sense of timing.
What do you think?
