Project Timeline

• Beginning My TV met for 3 hours a day, 4 days a week, for 7 weeks. The goal was to produce one 30-minute episode of the documentary television show “Zoom In.”

• A video project is divided into three stages:1. Pre-Production (brainstorming, research,

writing, scripting, and storyboarding) 2. Production (hands-on work: camerawork,

sound, acting, directing, interviewing)3. Post-Production (reviewing footage, editing,

creating music, and adding graphics & titling)


Project Timeline

• The production of Zoom In was divided into 4 basic segments:

1. Pre-Production 1: Fundamentals (weeks 1-2)

2. Pre-Production 2: Planning the Show (weeks 3-4)

3. Production: Executing the Concept (weeks 5-6)

4. Post-Production: Filling in the Gaps (week 7)


Project Timeline

Pre-Production 1: Fundamentals (weeks 1-2):What is media and what does it do?

• Students focused on:– The language of video production (jargon)– Watching & analyzing different video

productions– Conducting small research & writing projects– Learning to present an idea or a project in front

of a group– Learning to brainstorm as a group– Generating ideas for the show topic


Project Timeline

Pre-Production 2: Planning the Show (weeks 3-4)Developing skills and content

• By week 3, the students had decided on the show topic, “Negative images in the Media”

• Students focused on:– Working in groups to learn the various jobs of a video

crew (camera, lights, sound, director, producer)– Preparing and filming mock interviews, rotating different

jobs on the crew and on-camera roles.– Watching media relevant to their show topic– Writing skits to be produced into show segments


Project Timeline

Production: Executing the Concept (weeks 5-6)Producing the content of Zoom In

• Students focused on:– Scheduling, planning, and filming interviews with local

organizations and community members who have a particular insight into negative images in the media

– Field production: students went out into the community and conducted “man-on-the-street” interviews

– Directing, producing, and acting in skits for show segments


Successful Strategies

• Immediate media: every exercise was followed with a presentation of what they produced.

• Podcasts & Blogs were integrated into the class so that there was a natural synthesis between the technology we were teaching and the technology that students already used. Listen to radio podcasts at www.baycat.org!

• Improv and theater exercises were used to build trust and community and to improve participation, creativity, and on-camera skills.

• A presentation for family and friends immediately after the class gave the students a sense of success and completion and helped them see how their participation created their success.
