HPC-TVHIGH 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 2009-2012 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 2013-2015 Live Broadcast of our weekly show

13-18 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 9th-12th 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
