Videography students are reinventing the morning news program with new videography teacher, Alyssa Myers.

The 15 girls in the class have recreated the morning news broadcast, “Lancers Lately,” which aired for the first time on Sept. 1.

In the  past, the morning news was shown every day during homeroom. “Lancers Lately” airs twice a week on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Students in the class learn videography skills, “from how to use a camera, microphone, wireless microphone and tripod, to editing with Final Cut Pro, the software that professionals use in the industry,” said Myers. Students also learn how to write and report.

The news shows also appear on the web instead of the closed circuit televisions as was done previously.

Myers’ goal for the show is to reach a broader audience.

“We’re hoping to make it more engaging for the school, students, teachers and even the office staff. We are also trying to make it more accessible to parents and people outside Sacred Hearts, which is why we chose to air it on the web. We also want to collaborate more with other classes such as Ka Leo and yearbook,” said Myers.

The most beneficial aspect for students is the actual production of the show.

“Everyone has a different role. We have a producer, two anchors, a technical director and camera people. That’s the most valuable part of filming ‘Lancers Lately’ because they all have their own responsibilities in order for the show to go up. It’s a big undertaking, but I think they’re learning a lot and we’re getting faster,” said Myers.
