hi I'm Lorelei Fowler I'm a junior here
[0:02]
at Jasper County High School I want to
[0:03]
take you on a tour of two of the most
[0:05]
coolest Innovative classes the
[0:07]
engineering class and the film class
[0:08]
what's so great about the film class
[0:10]
here at Jefferson County High School is
[0:12]
because we get hands-on experience with
[0:13]
like professional level equipment and we
[0:15]
make films we have a news show you can
[0:18]
take your ideas and put them on a screen
[0:20]
if you don't go by the textbook it's up
[0:23]
to you it's Project based so in film
[0:25]
there's a lot of different jobs from
[0:27]
makeup costumes pre-production building
[0:30]
sets from anything from pre-writing
[0:33]
which helps with writing scripts writing
[0:35]
shot lists writing a timeline you go
[0:38]
from that to protection which deals with
[0:40]
camera lightings equipment and even
[0:42]
building sets and then post-production
[0:45]
which is in the editing lab where you
[0:46]
can create sounds music editing all that
[0:49]
cool stuff one of my personal favorites
[0:51]
I like directing I like seeing over the
[0:54]
actual production I like collaborating
[0:56]
with all of my fellow classmates who
[0:58]
bring so many different aspects into the
[1:00]
set and creating these Visions on the
[1:03]
screen for everyone else to see my ideas
[1:04]
our film class is not classroom limited
[1:07]
so we like to go out into our local
[1:09]
community and we shoot for businesses
[1:11]
most recently we went to our local
[1:12]
courthouse and filmed a shot there
[1:15]
I took over the engineering program here
[1:17]
about five years ago after teaching
[1:19]
science for 10 years and that first year
[1:21]
we got some film equipment from the
[1:22]
state and film was born as an offshoot
[1:24]
of engineering now we have three classes
[1:27]
of film as well as three classes of
[1:28]
engineering I teach both Pathways and
[1:30]
they work really well together actually
[1:32]
we do various projects together for
[1:34]
instance the engineering program will
[1:35]
build film flats for sets for film
[1:38]
department and we're building it so in
[1:40]
panels so that it can actually piece
[1:42]
together we can take it up in store and
[1:43]
then we can put it down when we need it
[1:45]
so pretty Innovative we go to Athens we
[1:46]
go to Jekyll Island every year and the
[1:48]
film students go and work on a contest
[1:49]
the engineering comes and helps them out
[1:51]
film will do promos for engineering
[1:53]
projects for instance they race an
[1:54]
electric vehicle so the film students
[1:56]
will do a new show about the electric
[1:57]
vehicle our education is
[2:05]
about the programs is because they're in
[2:07]
the same lab slash Studio I have
[2:09]
students that actually work on both
[2:10]
programs so they're both in film and
[2:12]
Engineering this year I think I have
[2:13]
about 10 maybe 15 that do that so it's
[2:15]
really great for collaboration between
[2:16]
different class periods throughout the
[2:18]
day alumni of our program even go on to
[2:20]
achieve bigger things in the industry
[2:22]
from working on sets getting jobs in it
[2:25]
just going to school for film and that's
[2:27]
that's pretty cool I tell the students
[2:30]
in film when they first come in here
[2:31]
that there's a job for everything in
[2:33]
film doesn't matter what you're
[2:34]
interested in and film industry in
[2:36]
Georgia is booming so there's lots of
[2:38]
opportunity for for students to go out
[2:40]
and work in the real world multimedia
[2:42]
education that's innovation
[2:46]
all right
