CLC Studio Presents...DIY

I'm a little late on this next post, I apologize.  These past two weeks kinda just flew by! Before I knew it Thanksgiving break was here and gone and I had yet to write about our 7th/8th grade 1st quarter projects.  So without further adieu, here are the projects completed this quarter by Team Awesome!


Team Awesome (aka Brian & Siobhan's class) launched a new TV series called Do It Yourself! The series highlights how you can do anything and everything by yourself.  However, before work could begin on their DIY series they were given the rights to remake several commercials to air during their shows.  Students could choose between 6 different commercials (Mac vs PC, ESPN, and Doritos to name a few).  Each group had to break the commericals down, create a script and a storyboard, then film their commercial.  The Doritos "Responsible Snacker" commerical was filmed right outside my window...I wonder if I made it into any of the shots. Hope my hair looked good that day.

After the commercials were filmed, it was time for each student to work on their DIY show.  They had to choose a topic to research and then create a video showing how to do it, step by step.  Topics included; how to do CPR, how to bake a cake, how to treat a burn, and how to fix a toilet. Again, students had to write a script and create a storyboard before they filmed the video.

Judging by the acting, directing, and videography happening around here, I think we may have some future Hollywood stars at CLC!
