Final+Project

toc =Overview= This page covers the final project for this class and will help outline the requirements for the project as well as help you manage the tasks associated with it.

So far in this class we have addressed both 'puzzles' and 'mysteries.' For your final project you will need to collaboratively address a mystery. The challenge is to figure out what it is that students at New Hampton School need to know to be up to date on what is going on here at campus right now. We frequently say that we are stuck in the NHS 'bubble.' In this project we will help students and faculty get out side this bubble by producing a news show just for them.

You will work collaboratively with several other members of the class to create a 6 minute television broadcast for the New Hampton School television program broadcast live on the internet.

Your program will include
 * A welcome to the program by the program hosts letting the audience know what is coming up in the program
 * A one minute of announcements and upcoming campus events
 * A one minute summary of an event in the national or international news
 * Two one minute stories broadcast on location from somewhere else on campus
 * A conclusion including credits (who did what)
 * Crawler and graphics

=Roles & Responsibilities= Each member of your group will have a role in creating and broadcasting your program.

The roles are:
 * Producer: Ultimately responsible for the complete and finished product, works with the group members to get their parts complete on time, in charge of the overall process
 * Director: Uses Mogulus Studio to cue between cameras, in charge of live broadcast
 * Assistant Director: Cues crawler, pictures and captions in Mogulus Studio, communicates with remote reporters
 * Anchors: Hosts the program, reads the news
 * Reporters: Broadcasts from elsewhere on campus
 * Broadcast Engineer: Operates the camera and teleprompter
 * Assistant Broadcast Engineers: Operates remote camera, communicates with Assistant Director
 * Writer? Gear guy?
