Player Interviews

Overview

This year, the E-Communication program decided to make different documentaries about the different sports teams here at NorthWest. The goal was to make these videos, and then sell them to the parents of the different athletes in order to raise money for the program. My job during these was to help with some of the interviews. I interviewed some of the different football players, and also helped with some of the other interviews that were put on.





Overall

Overall, I think the idea is really good. The actual TV shows called "Hard Knocks" are really interesting and it would be cool to see if the program can actual put on something like that.



This is a segment called athlete of the fall, but the interview in it was used in the documentaries, which I help set up.

Coach of the Fall

Overview

In this video, we interviewed Coach Sherman about what his views and values for coaching are, because he was voted as the Coach of the Fall sports for his excellent season with the football team.



Overall

I think that this was a good tory, and it shows how good of a coach he is, and why they had as great a season that they had. 


ONW NOW #10

Overview

In this week's edition of ONW NOW, we feature Veterans Day, Ap Courses, Plagiarism, and the Week of Giving Recap. I ran the sound during the live shooting of the show. Overall, I think it was a very good show that we produced, it was informative and had good stories.

ONW NOW Overview

Overview

This year, I was assigned to run the sound system for our student news segment "ONW Now". Running the sound was pretty confusing at first, because the school bought a new sound board, and we had to learn all of the new things that came along with it.


Problems

The main problems we encountered involved  having all of the different inputs set the same way. The soundboard has around 16 different inputs, and with all of the different E-Communication classes working in the same area, some of those inputs are bound to be messed with. Then, when we went to go film ONW Now, the sound would sound off so we'd have to go through the different inputs and see what was wrong. 


What I Learned

I've learned a lot since the beginning of the year, like how to turn up the "Gain" system, in order to make the sound louder. I've also learned how some of the inputs work, and what they're connected with. I think the sound system has made a big improvement since the beginning of the year also, because we've learned how to work the sound system efficiently, and effectively. 



This was our first production of ONW Now, from about 2 months ago.



And this was one of our most recent productions, I think there is a big difference in the sound quality from the 1st edition.

Golf Season Recap

The Lady Ravens golf team had a very successful season finishing 6th at regionals and 2nd in the sunflower league. Sophomore Rosie Klausner had the most success this season. Abby Julo was the most improved among her teammates. There were many memorable moments this golf season, one of which Abby Julo broke her career round high school record shooting an 84. Rosie also won her second playoff, taking second at regionals. The Lady Ravens hope to have the same success next year as they did this season.

Sessions with Kami

Overview

One of the other ONW students, Kami Gibson, does a segment where she takes different people from around the school who have interesting talents, and films them doing what they do. We've filmed painters, singers, rappers, and many other things. My role in her projects has been that sometimes I've filmed and other times I've been there as an "Audience Member" where we react to the person being filmed, and ask them questions.




Overall

I think that this segment is interesting and it is cool seeing other students from ONW and their interesting hobbies.


In this segment we filmed a kid who could sing and play the guitar. My role was to hold one of the cameras in order to get different angles and shots.
