Last Project: Produce an episode of "Wildcat TV"

Wildcat TV is not a live show like the morning news - it's produced ahead of time and then uploaded. Multiple segment types make up the show's format:

Opening Skit Segment
Host Clip introducing Sports
Sports Segment
Hosts introduce News
News Segment
Hosts say goodbye
Hall Survey Segment
Closing Credits, Music, Logo

Each team is responsible for one segment around 2:00 minutes. The Host parts are single clips that are viewed and edited to the 3 clips needed to tie the segments together. 

Use your training up to this point to create work that is  planned out, written and filmed using proper camera, audio, and lighting and edited with music and titles. 

Add special production touches where you can - BOTH Intro AVTF class shows are uploaded and shared via email to every teacher to show to their classes - you want your show to stand out for it's entertainment value. 

Each Segment is due Friday Dec 13th by the end of class

Shows are due Monday Dec 16th by the end of class
