ONW Now Blog

ONW Now Blog


We, as sophomores, got to experience doing ONW Now a little early. When we were choosing jobs, all I said is I don't want to be an anchor, and I would rather do sports instead. I ended up getting sports. Then, the other team took basketball, so we had the choice of wrestling, woman basketball, Swim and Dive, and bowling. We chose wrestling. 

What Makes a Good News Story?

Our story was wrestling, and all of our group members knew nothing about wrestling. It was hard to come up with an interesting news story about the wrestling team, knowing nothing about it. We had to read some articles about the wrestling team and ask wrestlers about how they were doing. You got to chose a topic that is recent, and they recently had a tournament, so we went with that. What also makes a good story is interviews, because it always gets a new perspective. We got Henry Boutwell and interviewed him, so that was a good idea. Overall for none of us not knowing anything about wrestling, we made a pretty interesting news story, so I was proud of that.

What I liked From the Process


The thing that I saw and liked was that everyone was working hard and we were trying our best to make this look good. During the recording process, all the anchors and people behind the stage never got distracted. It was cool to see the class come together to make this ONW Now.

What Makes a Strong Broadcast


What makes a strong broadcast is strong anchors, in my opinion. I felt like we had strong anchors that were clear in their speaking. They were energized and it was key to our success.

We had a lot of roles planning this out including the teleprompter, anchor, booth people, etc. For our first time, I feel we pulled this off well.

Graphic Design Final Blog Post My Favorite Projects My favorite project to do was the vector illustrated project. What we had to do was trace over a choice of a family member using the pen tool, and shade in spots of the picture. In the end, we made a simple version of the picture you chose. The picture I chose was a picture of my dog. This project took me about 3-4 weeks to complete. The main challenge I faced was tracing over the darker/lighter parts of my dogs, and making those parts the correct color. The main skill I learned during the project was accurately tracing over pictures. Throughout the whole project, I always thought I was done, but someone would always tell me that there could be more shading. Others peoples advice telling me to do more shading motivated me to do extra shading, which would make it look less cartoonish. At the very beginning, I was going to do a picture of myself, but I decided to go with my dog instead, which I thought was a good change I made. T...

Music Video Blog The Music We chose and the Theme We Portrayed The music we chose was From Your Mouth from God Lives Underwater. The theme I wanted to Portray was serious but yet cool because he was serious through the whole video but he was eating in reverse and it looked like he was pulling the food from your mouth. The Process The first thing we did is we researched different music videos, and chose one that is clean and we could realistically do. Then, after that, we filled out our story board so we knew what the actor should do and how quickly he should do it. Then, we made a shopping list of all the food we needed. Then, we met at Johns house and me and drew filmed him eating. Finally, Ethan edited but we all helped him. My Role The main role I did was planning out what he should eat, and how quickly he should do it. Technically The main thing we learned is how to edit in reverse. Professionally The main thing we learned is teamwork. We had to find ...

Movie Trailer Blogger

The project we did was recreating a movie trailer. Our group chose "Napoleon Dynamite". Process In preproduction, we worked on looking at all the clips, drawing them out, and putting what time that happens. We also put all of the lines our actors had to say. During production, we filmed all of our clips, including going to places like the lockers, my house, and Woodland Elementary. During Post production, we entered in the slides, the music, and put the clips in order. What I Learned I didn't learn as much of technology things like hardware snd software. I learned mostly acting and teamwork, as I was our main actor and I acted in a couple other videos. It was hard, and you had to cooperate well, but it was fun. What I Would Do Differently/Same One thing I would do differently is filming earlier so we didn't cram editing at the end. One thing I would do the same is our clips were good, and that was probably because we worked hard on pre production. What Ex...
