| The crew films The Miller-Driscoll Morning Show in the temporary studio during the fall of 2016. |
MDTV and Covid-19: Starting in the spring of 2020, MDTV went, like everything else in our lives, virtual. Crew members filmed at home with the help of their awesome field teams (their parents) and submitted clips for the creation of each show.
This theme continues in Season 6 which will be our first all virtual season. We are just completing, as of this post, the end of our alumni crew session this year and getting ready to start the
first of our Season 6 crews. We look forward to
empowering another 80 creative kindergarten,
1st and 2nd grade film makers!
MDTV/1 is a before school club that films one week of morning announcements, mostly on Friday mornings.
The team consists of 20 kindergarten through 2nd grade students and two advisors. The team is broken into two "crews" that alternate between "Studio" and "Birthdays".
The studio tapes the anchor desk segments in the studio while the Birthday crew tapes the day's birthdays from different locations in the building.
There are multiple job assignments in each crew and during the course of the program, students get to experience most if not all jobs. The current job list includes:
In addition, students have the opportunity, when the schedules and timing are right, to do "Stand-Ups", sort of the reporter on the scene kind of thing.
These are usually shot with iPhones using reporter mics. The reporter writes their own copy and in many cases, if time allows, edits the "package" in iMovie before it's exported and dropped into the Morning Show in Adobe Premiere.
