Project: Morning Show Intro(Pawn Stars)
Class: TV2
Role: Editor
Production Date: 4/18/13

Lessons or Skills Learned/Applied: I learned how re-create content but add your own spin to it 
Creative Commentary:  The project was very fun to do and gave us an idea of what it takes to make Television introductions. 

Creative Commentary: The project was challenging because it was difficult to get the one graphic at the end in the right spot. There where different types of shots and it went together smoothly. 



Project: News Pack(Girls Cross Country) 
Class: TV2
Role: Producer
Production Date: 12/11/12


Lessons or Skills Learned/Applied:  Trying to find time to get B-Roll for this project was my major issue. The lack of B-Roll made the quality of this news pack not as well done as it could have been. The interviews where shot very well and the overall coverage of the topic was good. 
Creative Commentary: The story was hard to find within this project. We decided to do it from the perspective of a freshman runner just coming in. We asked questions like what advice you would give them and how team unity can help.  



Project: News Pack(Festival of the Arts)
Class: TV2
Role: Producer
Production Date: 6/4/13 

Lessons or Skills Learned/Applied: The skills that I used during this News Pack was different camera shot ideas. I tried to find creative shots cause I was using still objects for my B-roll. It was all the art in the festival. The difficulties I had with this project was probably getting good interviews and trying to find a story about the festival that could be used in the news pack. 

Creative Commentary: The creative aspect behind this project was the idea that we had to put together a news pack that exemplifies the purpose of the festival and why it was being done. It was to showcase the art that the Lenape students have done but we found later it was also a part of the students final grade. 


Project: News Pack(Wrestling)
Class: TV2
Role: Editor 
Production Date: 

Lessons or Skills Learned/Applied: I used my editing skills to help mirror the shots of the actual Pawn Stars intro with the help of Sean Remington who story-boarded and basically produced it. Tony Devlin who created the photoshop graphic at the end and helped shoot it. I helped shoot it and edit.  

Creative Commentary: Most of the creative aspect came form Sean. He came up with the idea. I had some good shot ideas that I thought mirrored the Intro but Sean had most of the creative aspect. When this video was finished I was proud of all around how it looked. I thought it was well put together and mirrored the Pawn Star Intro. 

Submission Content:
TV2
"Short Narrative"
The short narrative was a partner project done that tells a story. The one that I did was about a student that didn't study for a test and went to take it then failed. It was one of my better projects in my opinion and I thought that the camera shots where good. You couldn't have any narration so you had to use music and the video to tell the story.

TV2
"My Hero"
"My Hero" was one of the first projects done in TV2. It was a do it yourself project where we had to choose a hero and graphically and verbally explain why that person was your hero. I chose my Geometry teacher. The project was one of the more creative projects in TV2.
TV1
"PSA"
The PSA was the first Public Service announcement that I produced in TV1. It was about suicide and how it happens to people around us and gives us some suggestions of things to do to prevent it. A PSA is usually about a present issue that is alive in the community and needs to be addressed.

"Sports Update"
This was one of the first morning show segments I did. The dashing person in the camera is Sean Remington and he was in the entire segment. I filmed, and edited it. It was basically about an update in sports, and what the latest and greatest things in sports. It involved some basic editing and was brought together for a segment. 


TV1
"Music Video"
The Music Video was the final project in TV1. It was a group project where we had to select a song and create a music video that tells the story of the song. The song that we choose was Smooth Criminal by Michael Jackson. It was one of the longer projects I had done in TV1. This video was produced by Sean Remmington, Christina O'Hara, and myself. It was a pretty good video.
TV1
"Silent Movie"
This project was the first one done in TV1. It was an actual silent movie that was used to explore the different types of camera shots. The objective was to make a movie without any spoken sound, only sound effects and music could be used. It was a fun project that got us started into the idea of movie making. This was a group project done by myself, Christina O'Hara, and Eric Pry.    

TV1
Chroma Key Project
The Chroma Key project was done to see if we knew how to Chroma Key. It was a single person project that allowed us to place ourselves in any place and perform some sort of action. I thought it was a fun project and I learned a lot.  

TV1
"How to" Project
The "How To" project was one of the first projects done in Communications Technology 1. It was done by myself and Jessica Stills. The purpose of the project is to show basically a step by step process of how to make or do something.
