This year we have already come back from our trip and we are doing 4th QTR Projects and also, I am not coming back next year, but I'm going to talk about advice for the students who are coming back to Media. This year I was on the PSA Team for the STN Competition and I was also on Sweet 16 Broadcast team. Both competitions are hard and stressful so don't think that it's easy (just like all other competitions),next always finish at the deadline, and last do your best! There will be breakout sessions also to kind of help you if your lucky that your competition is after breakout.
When we did our Sweet 16 Competition we had to do 2 PSA's but if the topic is hard you can do commercial or something, that's what we did. When you do a PSA don't over think things because if you over think you sometimes get stressed like us to be honest.
After your done with filming check if you need to film more and if you don't go straight to editing. The Main editor needs the edited video to put it in a 10 min. Video or less, so when your editing there is some pressure on you to get it done and given to the main editors. During that time you might get stressed over something's but after your done and the main editors submit it you have sometime to be stress free.
During any competition you need to finish on time, get your filming done on time, editing done on time, and video submitted and turned in on time because you won't get a second chance. Or else you wouldn't place for one, and for some other reason you didn't turn it in. So make sure you use your time in production time and editing time wisely. And when you think it's good enough submit it and turn it in. Also no one will help you except your editing partner.
And last make sure you do your best and give it your all, you are challenging other middle schools too. Before you go up to STN you will be having STN practices so your prepared.
And to end it, this is my advice for all students who are going to STN next year. Don't take competitions easy, finish everything on time, and do your best!
