HPC-TV HIGH PLAINS COMMUNITY SCHOOLS Started 7 years ago as a project – a brainstormed idea “Friday Morning Storm Warning” Became a Digital Media Class taught as an elective Open to our high school students – fits perfectly into the middle school setting Class meets daily as part of our class schedule

HPC-TV Original format was to pre-record each segment and studio scene Was not efficient – too much time lost recording studio clips Uploading an entire show was time consuming and often didn’t look professional as a final product Great results but not as efficient – accountability not there.

HPC-TV Live Broadcast of our weekly show minute average show time Live portions – Intro In-Studio Interviews Lead ins Weekly Announcements Closing Commentary

WHY LIVE TV? Accountability – get it done right the first time The show builds to Friday and it has to be produced and prepared leading up to that day. Improves students ability to speak, think, and process on the fly Everyone has a role on Friday Anchor, Interviews, Production, Hallway Monitor, Camera, Sound

Who Participates in HPC-TV? We have a mix of 9 th -12 th graders Cap the class at 8 Rely on our outgoing students to be “Live” Techy students produce the show – Bells and Whistles This year we have 4 freshmen participating in the class. Basic skill levels Learning as they go Behind the scenes

Needed Equipment To “Go Live” A Quiet Place to Produce the Show Green Screen (Not needed but cool!) Camera A great microphone or two Computer (Updated and Working Well) Broadcasting Program

Challenges With Going “Live” A student may “FREEZE” in front of the camera Producer of show must nail it! Get you in and out of commercials, features, etc. Student roles need to be developed over time. Not everyone is good at every role right away Relying on Technology to Work! Internet, Microphones, Computer, Camera

Expectations of our Students Prepare each week for Friday Segments, Commercials, Script Participate during the week and during the Live Broadcast Take it serious – we have both a live audience and an archived audience Represent High Plains Community Schools the right way

Curriculum – Each Student Learns We take the time to teach: Sound Quality Camera Angles Basic editing skills Use of each camera Live Broadcasting software “On Air” Posture and Etiquette Green Screen Software
