Video III-IV

We are starting our next project cycle. The student production groups will be given the opportunity to make a short film. Emphasis is placed on developing a main character with a goal, coming up with obstacles that prevent attaining that goal, and then an action taken to make a change. Scripts will be built around those milestones.

Some groups have opted to work on Segment for the announcement show (ex: sports/highlights/movie review etc.)
