In the fall of 2019 Lincoln media arts students collaborated with community members and stakeholders to produce this video as a means of fundraising for a water dispenser to be installed in the school gym. It is yet another example of the persuasive power of video.

Mental health is an important issue, especially among high school students, that does not receive the support and attention it deserves. We wanted to bring the discussion of mental health to the Lincoln campus to not only raise money for mental health support services at NAMI, the National Alliance on Mental Illness, but also to support our students, many of whom struggle with mental health issues. The goal of our awareness campaign was to promote awareness of stigmatized mental health issues and where to find help and support services. However, this is only the beginning our journey to shine the light on mental health at Lincoln and address the mental health of our students. We hope to continue our new Mental Health Awareness Month and keep the spirit of support alive here on campus.

THE ACTION SEQUENCE

 

This assignment was designed to provide students with a more structured method to producing action sequences that are convincing enough to keep the audience focused on the story so that they are not distracted by poor cinematic technique. Students used a 2-2-2 approach to their principle photography and the result provided an ample amount of shots to work with in post-production. 2-2-2 means two cameras (synchronized), with two different lenses recording the same take from two different camera angles. So for example, If the storyboards illustrate that an action sequence is going to require twelve shots, then principle photography will yield twenty-four shots to work with in post. With each camera take varying in depth of field, camera angles, and shutter speeds the editor should be able to splice together a comprehensive scene that engages the viewer rather than distract them from the story.

AP RETREAT 2019

 

This was my second time at the AP Retreat and I was excited about exploring the forest and bunking with my friends but I was surprised by the guest speaker, a former teacher at Gunderson high school and one of Principal Hewitson’s dearest friends, Dave Tieche. Tieche spoke on the topic of success. He first asked us to give him our definitions of success. Although we all had different answers we all had related success to socio-economic stability. The speaker explained that success is different for everyone. He stated that at its core, success is a combination of helping yourself and helping others. He went on to say how in order to achieve success you must be hungry, street smart, and humble. I considered myself hungry and street smart but, it was clear that I wasn’t humble: which meant that I would have a hard time with accepting my lack of knowledge, putting me at a disadvantage when it comes to gaining new information. I always strive to be the best and sometimes I don’t stop to acknowledge the people around me and their superior abilities because of my fear of incompetence. I speak on my accomplishments to trick myself into superiority. The speaker opened my eyes and has shown me that I must change my attitude when it comes to my academic abilities in order to become a better student and a better person. I’ll have learned that I will be successful when I use my abilities not to prop myself up but as resources for others.
