TV: February BDN


Class:

Great work on the bullying videos!

1) Continue filming events outside of school for marking period 3.
2) Blue Devil Nation February Edition- Full scripts and details MUST be shared/emailed to me before class on 2/14. No exceptions.
Other details:
1. Anchors (Ashley & Danielle) are in charge of updating Calendar and working with the team to coordinate all filming/editing. You should be working on your script.
2. Be creative in your stories. Comedy is great, but some real reporting would really enhance your show
3. Ideas: HSPA Testing, Term Paper, Valentine's Day ReCap, Grease, Basketball State Tournament, Bowling/Cheering/Winter Track Season Updates, Mr. O'Connor Interview, Winter Activities Segment, MDW II, etc.

Technical Crew- Work on updating the introduction. New images, videos, etc.
