The Latest

Okay, so my roles for this magazine are:
Production manager (working behind the scenes, making sure the cameras are working etc.)
Working with Ladan and our newbie Zaresh on the news column.

Sasha and Deanna are working on sport.

Lutch, Jordanna, Shana and Porsche are doing gossip.

Entertainment will be run by Wanda and Tess.

Not sure if I'll manage the finished copy of the interviews, but I'll give it a try./

Okay, here's Interview 3. Sorry it's taken so long. Hopefully the finished copy will be up tomorrow.

Interview info

Just thought you might be interested to know how we picked the students. If you've watched the interviews, you will have noticed that the students in each one are intentionally of the same age range. We made sure we chose people of different ethnicities, and we chose the people we thought would do a lot of talking! We also looked at their timetables to find out where they'd be at that time, and could pull them out of lessons, although sadly I didn't get that pleasure.

The Other Interviews

Okay, here' s Interview 2. Interview 2 hasn't been edited and the Year 11 girls ramble quite a lot. Interview 3 (which will be up tomorrow) looks like it has been quite well edited and I shall probably use quite a bit of it in the final copy.

Interview analysis

After watching the interview, I have come to the conclusion that most people want:

• pupils' views and not teachers' views, although I suppose that might be a bit obvious
• Oddly enough, they thought it could be more expensive than we'd planned!
• Adverts (for youth nights, for instance)
• Pictures in colour (the one we have at the moment doesn't even have them in black and white, they're black and yellow!)
• An interesting first page (Our current one has a note from our headteacher, Mrs Chamberlain, that starts with 'Dear parents and carers'. No one actually wants to read that!)

Okay, I've uploaded the video. Enjoy!

The latest

Okay, I haven't updated this for a while. Happy new year, guys! I've been editing the film I made with Sasha and Porsche, and Mr Gove has been incredibly helpful with the editing. Hopefully, if you're reading this, there should be a link to it, but I shall update that in a few minutes.
