This year my high school undertook a new schedule that's caused a lot of controversy. A lot of the students I've talked to really dislike the new changes. (Go to my Multimedia page to learn more about the schedule) Instead of doing our usual Ladue View show where we feature a variety of packages, we're doing an entire episode focusing on different aspects of the new schedule. I'm covering the modified AC lab that they now call Seminar. Instead of traveling freely, students are now given three sub periods to get their work done. We can only visit up to three teachers at given times. It's difficult to find a variety of opinions because the majority of the students I've talked to say the same thing. I plan on spending my next Seminar talking to Freshman, Sophomores, Juniors, and maybe another teacher. I have great sound bites from a Senior, and one of the Social Studies teachers, but I need a variety of opinions to make my package unbiased.
I'm also working on a short intro for the show that explains the past schedule and the current schedule to give outside viewers the basic understanding that a Ladue viewer would know. I've used a lot of animation and text to make it visually appealing. I enjoy working on this mini project more than the actual news package because I prefer the more creative aspect of video making.
I'm really excited to see how this show turns out. I think it could be really successful as long as all of our packages are unbiased and show both sides of every situation.
