00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,840
hi I'm Lorelei Fowler I'm a junior here

2
00:00:02,280 --> 00:00:05,339
at Jasper County High School I want to

3
00:00:03,840 --> 00:00:07,080
take you on a tour of two of the most

4
00:00:05,339 --> 00:00:08,580
coolest Innovative classes the

5
00:00:07,080 --> 00:00:10,620
engineering class and the film class

6
00:00:08,580 --> 00:00:12,000
what's so great about the film class

7
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:13,740
here at Jefferson County High School is

8
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:15,599
because we get hands-on experience with

9
00:00:13,740 --> 00:00:18,600
like professional level equipment and we

10
00:00:15,599 --> 00:00:20,880
make films we have a news show you can

11
00:00:18,600 --> 00:00:23,640
take your ideas and put them on a screen

12
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:25,439
if you don't go by the textbook it's up

13
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:27,300
to you it's Project based so in film

14
00:00:25,439 --> 00:00:30,480
there's a lot of different jobs from

15
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:33,000
makeup costumes pre-production building

16
00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,460
sets from anything from pre-writing

17
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,520
which helps with writing scripts writing

18
00:00:35,460 --> 00:00:40,620
shot lists writing a timeline you go

19
00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:42,780
from that to protection which deals with

20
00:00:40,620 --> 00:00:45,120
camera lightings equipment and even

21
00:00:42,780 --> 00:00:46,620
building sets and then post-production

22
00:00:45,120 --> 00:00:49,620
which is in the editing lab where you

23
00:00:46,620 --> 00:00:51,539
can create sounds music editing all that

24
00:00:49,620 --> 00:00:54,120
cool stuff one of my personal favorites

25
00:00:51,539 --> 00:00:56,340
I like directing I like seeing over the

26
00:00:54,120 --> 00:00:58,199
actual production I like collaborating

27
00:00:56,340 --> 00:01:00,059
with all of my fellow classmates who

28
00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:03,000
bring so many different aspects into the

29
00:01:00,059 --> 00:01:04,920
set and creating these Visions on the

30
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:07,500
screen for everyone else to see my ideas

31
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:09,600
our film class is not classroom limited

32
00:01:07,500 --> 00:01:11,220
so we like to go out into our local

33
00:01:09,600 --> 00:01:12,960
community and we shoot for businesses

34
00:01:11,220 --> 00:01:15,540
most recently we went to our local

35
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:17,640
courthouse and filmed a shot there

36
00:01:15,540 --> 00:01:19,320
I took over the engineering program here

37
00:01:17,640 --> 00:01:21,119
about five years ago after teaching

38
00:01:19,320 --> 00:01:22,500
science for 10 years and that first year

39
00:01:21,119 --> 00:01:24,360
we got some film equipment from the

40
00:01:22,500 --> 00:01:27,360
state and film was born as an offshoot

41
00:01:24,360 --> 00:01:28,799
of engineering now we have three classes

42
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,780
of film as well as three classes of

43
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:32,340
engineering I teach both Pathways and

44
00:01:30,780 --> 00:01:34,500
they work really well together actually

45
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:35,880
we do various projects together for

46
00:01:34,500 --> 00:01:38,220
instance the engineering program will

47
00:01:35,880 --> 00:01:40,259
build film flats for sets for film

48
00:01:38,220 --> 00:01:42,060
department and we're building it so in

49
00:01:40,259 --> 00:01:43,860
panels so that it can actually piece

50
00:01:42,060 --> 00:01:45,000
together we can take it up in store and

51
00:01:43,860 --> 00:01:46,740
then we can put it down when we need it

52
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,420
so pretty Innovative we go to Athens we

53
00:01:46,740 --> 00:01:49,920
go to Jekyll Island every year and the

54
00:01:48,420 --> 00:01:51,479
film students go and work on a contest

55
00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:53,220
the engineering comes and helps them out

56
00:01:51,479 --> 00:01:54,780
film will do promos for engineering

57
00:01:53,220 --> 00:01:56,399
projects for instance they race an

58
00:01:54,780 --> 00:01:57,780
electric vehicle so the film students

59
00:01:56,399 --> 00:02:01,520
will do a new show about the electric

60
00:01:57,780 --> 00:02:01,520
vehicle our education is

61
00:02:05,820 --> 00:02:09,300
about the programs is because they're in

62
00:02:07,500 --> 00:02:10,560
the same lab slash Studio I have

63
00:02:09,300 --> 00:02:12,060
students that actually work on both

64
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,560
programs so they're both in film and

65
00:02:12,060 --> 00:02:15,480
Engineering this year I think I have

66
00:02:13,560 --> 00:02:16,800
about 10 maybe 15 that do that so it's

67
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,180
really great for collaboration between

68
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:20,940
different class periods throughout the

69
00:02:18,180 --> 00:02:22,860
day alumni of our program even go on to

70
00:02:20,940 --> 00:02:25,080
achieve bigger things in the industry

71
00:02:22,860 --> 00:02:27,959
from working on sets getting jobs in it

72
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:30,000
just going to school for film and that's

73
00:02:27,959 --> 00:02:31,440
that's pretty cool I tell the students

74
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,480
in film when they first come in here

75
00:02:31,440 --> 00:02:34,680
that there's a job for everything in

76
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,660
film doesn't matter what you're

77
00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,580
interested in and film industry in

78
00:02:36,660 --> 00:02:40,500
Georgia is booming so there's lots of

79
00:02:38,580 --> 00:02:42,840
opportunity for for students to go out

80
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:46,860
and work in the real world multimedia

81
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:49,340
education that's innovation

82
00:02:46,860 --> 00:02:49,340
all right
