The Knightly News

Over the last few days in class, we had a shark tank themed proposal of all of our projects in order to recieve feedback and better our ideas. As for mine, I decided to focus on the news with a group of my friends so that we can involve the students in more after school activities. I recieved a lot of great feedback from my presentation and one idea that I decided to follow was for me to help promote a few other ideas in our news for the school. This way the word can get out locally about what we are doing and hopefully other students will be on board with some of us. 

So far I have learned a lot of great things that I could incorporate into my project. Since the news is a very flexible program for us I can easily add new segments into the video and spread awareness about other passion projects. I think that I would like to have a short segment each time we film the news that can set the spotlight on another project in my class so that the school can be notified about some of our ideas. For this project I have not decided if I will be more infront or behind the camera but I am planning on being behind the camera for the most part and talking about other projects myself so that I can be involved infront of the camera as well as editing and filming. We decided on the name "The Knightly News" for this project last year and I would like to keep that name.

I would like to reach a small benchmark by next week just to get things rolling with this process. We will most likely not begin to film until late September or early October. But, I think by next week I would like to fully plan out the entire script so that when we are ready to film it is on hand. I will not necessarily be writing down exactly what we will say, but more about what we are planning to say, how long it will last, and who will be saying it so that we have an idea of who is going to show up and how long it will take them to film everything. This way when we are ready we are not scrambling to write down everything we need to do and possibly forget something. We will hopefully shoot about one video every 2-3 weeks. But, as for now I am not focused on the filming but more on being prepared for when we do, hopefully by next week I can accomplish this!
