Journal 3

Good Afternoon im now sitting in my TV Production class getting work done that also helps me out with my WISE Project. Getting a little bit more familiar with the different cameras, gives me a deep advantage going into the BTN News room this upcoming week. Because i have a lot to do in this class, my BTN visit will not happen until the week of February 6th, but i have been in contact with the advisor Jeb Brunt, and i am always in contact with his close friend Kurt Doster who is also my TV Production Teacher.

I have narrowed down my choices for a story. One is finding a student that has done steroids and the affect it has had on them playing. Another story idea is the ruthlessness of the new innovative and upcoming sport in the world Lacrosse. "LAX" is not a very popular sport but it has become one over the past decade. I will want to dive into why the BCAA does not want it as a County Sport and how it has become so popular.

Today i had my first WISE mentor meeting with Assistant Principal Mr. Nelson and it went very well. My next step is going to add more to my noodletools and to have a good second week.

Signing out, Noah Mindel CBTV

1:00= Time To Go Home

Well when it was 1:00 today i decided to go home and get some work done there.
I went to the E:60 website and watched a couple videos to try and and generate some ideas, and a couple came to mind.
I feel a story about steroids in baseball would be a great story and i could try and find a student that has done or tried steroids and the impact it has had on their lives. Another idea is to find a sports phenom in South Florida that everyone should look out for. This is going to be a difficult task because i will have to be DEDICATED to this story, so it has to be one that i am enjoying. Hopefully one comes to mind by the end of this week. We will have to see.

First Day

The moment we have all been waiting for....
The time has come....
WISE is here and my life in Sports Broadcasting has begun.
The first day we learned about the organization and class in depth and it has excited me to no end. Three days before that i figured out exactly what I wanted to do with my WISE project. I am going to work with the local channel BECON and work tightly with the show called "Broward Teen News" and perfect a sports feature to the length of 10,11,12, or even 13 minutes. I was inspired to do this WISE project by watching a show called E:60 on ESPN. This show has inspired so much that each time i watch one of their segments, i feel the "goosebumps" rising because of the way they tell their story. When i get out of High school, i want to major in Sports Media and become a broadcaster on ESPN. I have tried my hardest over these past two years to work with CBTV and create my own sports feature, but nothing to the extent to which E:60 takes their stories. I have been taught how to create a perfect "surface" story, my goal is to conduct a perfect "IN DEPTH" story, and this program alongside Broward Teen News will help me with this.
