ITFP Students Capture 1st and 2nd
Place at NETA
Ryan Hammack and Emma deVries (sic) created documentaries of heroes in their lives for a class project in the Digital Video and Media class at the Information Technology Focus Program. They won first and second place, respectively in the high school division of the Nebraska Education Technology Association’s annual contest. Hammack, himself a runner, selected Steve Prefontaine as his hero. After careful research, Ryan used a combination of original footage, Olympic video footage and still shots to tell the story of an amazing athlete. The fight for women’s rights and the activities of Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B Anthony captured the interest of deVries. She used her grandmothers’ voices for the narration of the video.

Perspectives
Digital Video and Media students studied the composition of still photography using a
digital camera. They applied their knowledge of framing and camera angles
to create a unique Perspective of a topic of their choice. Students used
iPhoto to sequence their shots and to apply music* reflective of their
perspective. The end product was converted to a QuickTime movie. Advanced Digital Video and Media This advanced class will perfect and expand a studentĚs ability to produce quality video, animation, and music. Students will enter their work in multiple contests. Each student will use our professional studio and 3-chip Canon XL-1 cameras to produce one documentary that includes an interview, B-role, script writing for voice-overs, original music, and special effects. Quality projects will be aired on Channel 21. Students will be able to direct some of their own learning through an individualized contract. The contract will include a personal selection of video topic, personal choice of special effects project, and a music project. Final Cut Studio is the predominant software; it includes: Final Cut Pro 5, Soundtrack Pro, Motion 2, LiveType, DVD Studio Pro 4. Students will create an ePortfolio of their completed work that can be submitted with applications for universities and other advanced degree programs. Students produced the premier video for the Lincoln Arts Council's "Stories of Home" project. It was played at the Mayor's Arts Awards celebration last spring. It recently received an Award of Distinction from The International Communicator Awards. It can be viewed at:
