🎥 Media Workshop at Lone Oak Elementary!
Last week, on December 12th and 13th, students from Mrs. Griffith's Media Arts Pathway had the opportunity to work with 3rd graders, teaching them essential skills in video production.
The young learners explored the exciting world of media by learning how to:
- Capture videos using cameras 🎬
- Conduct interviews 🎤
- Edit their footage ✂️
- Write engaging scripts 📝
- Anchor their segments 📺
This hands-on experience, taught by MCHS students in Advanced Studio and Studio Directing classes, not only sparked creativity but also helped develop valuable skills. The Media Workshop was planned by Senior Sofia Rinella. #McCrackenProud
