If there is any other shoots in the works please let me know!

There have been some changes in our stories- here is what we are working on:

1. School athletics and school spirit: Producer: Shane Beckford. We have already shot “person on the street” interviews, an interview with director Steven Kelly and have taken some B-roll. Need to acquire game footage from media center & perhaps shoot more games and audience reaction.
2. A Day in the Life of a BMCC student: Producer: Kaneshia Shuler. A look at one long day of student with numerous challenges – perhaps a student/parent, a full time employee and/or a student with physical challenges. Need to talk to students that are to be profiled and set up shoots.
3. Being a person of color and/or a woman in the media business: Producer: Jennifer Beltre. This is a continuation of a story that was shot last semester at the CUNY Media Conference. Need to review footage to see if any additional shoots are needed. Most footage is loaded except for the seminar by Jocyln Taylor.
4. The BMCC Music Club/Hip Hop Clubs, Producer Michael Everett. Shoot on Wednesday 1:30pm.
5. Prof. Ruff’s Success Workshop: Producer, Kenny Second. Continuation of a story shot last semester. A look at the workshop & hints for student as they enter the business world. Need to load tape #1- all others are loaded - and begin to edit.
6. Transferring to a 4 year school: Producer: Crystal Morgan What students nee to know about the process of transferring. Shoots will include a transfer fair and advice from counselors.
7. Students with physical challenges: Producer Debbee Davis. Details still need to be ironed out.
