In 2 days we will be leaving for the 2014 Student Television Convention in Orlando, Florida. We'll be doing a lot of things whether it's educational or fun. Everyone has things they're looking forward to and I have 3 main things I'm looking forward to. I'm looking forward to bonding with the media class, going to the theme parks, and meeting people at my last STN Convention with the CKTV Media class.
Most of the kids in the media class are going to the STN Convention and we're all going to be together for 2 weeks. I'm excited because we'll all probably get really close like how it's happened in past years. We're going to do a lot of things together and we're going to find things out about each other and it might start some friendships.
I'm not going to lie, everyone is probably excited about the theme parks. We're going to ride rollercoasters and eat lots of good food. Who wouldn't be excited about that? It'll be a great stress reliever and we can all just relax and drink some sprite. Theme parks will be great!
Last but not least, meeting new people at the convention should be fun too. It's my last year going to the STN Convention with the CKTV Ohana. I want to make this year the best year. I might meet people who are just like me (crazy) and make friends that may end up making movies in the future. You never know what can happen, so I'm going to meet new people and form bonds with people that just may be my bosses later.
This last STN Convention is going to be blast. There are so many things to look forward to. I hope everyone will say safe and have fun on this trip. Orlando, Florida is filled with many adventures. Only 2 more days!
To help us get to Orlando, Florida for the STN Convention we are having fundraisers. Coming up soon, we will be having a breakfast in December on the 8th at Chiefess Kamakahelei Middle School's Cafeteria. We will be serving things such as sausage, rice, eggs, miso soup, fruits, and refreshments for only 10 dollars. At the event there will also be a small bake sale and some raffle tickets. So please come and join us on December 8th and have some breakfast!
At the Student Television Network Convention there are many competitions such as PSA, Movie Trailer, Music Video, Sweet Sixteen and more. At this years Convention I would like to compete in the Movie Trailer. I have never competed in this competition.
The reason I want to compete in Movie Trailer is because you sometimes have to be dramatic. I like dramatic films that pull you in so you want to watch the real movie. A movie trailer is kind of like a preview of a movie, when you make a movie trailer you have to try hard to have everything good so that it pulls the audience in. I want to be apart of that.
We have to have teams in the competition. In movie trailer you can have up to 6 people. Right now we aren't sure what the teams will be like. Soon we will start practicing and whoever comes out on the winning side gets to compete in that competition. We need to have clear shots, good audio, an understandable story outline, and the Movie Trailer needs to be on topic. All of that can help my team get to STN and hopefully win.
When you are at the competition, you only have 4-6 hours to produce a movie trailer. Usually it would be 2 hours for shooting and 2 hours for editing. If that's the case, in the first two hours you must brainstorm ideas and put ideas together until you come up with what you are sticking with. Then, you have to shoot your scenes. After you do all of that, you might want to check your footage before you go into the editing room. But, once you get in the editing room, you begin to edit the footage you have and try to create a good 30 second movie trailer.
The STN Convention is very stressful. This year I want to compete in the Movie Trailer competition which means hard work. Our teams aren't determined yebut hopefully
