First Week

I will go over what is expected of staff members in this class today.

We need to distribute yearbooks starting tomorrow morning and during lunch we will set up a table.

We must have a complete staff meeting at lunch sometime this week. We will determine that today.

We have three sporting events this week. Today there is soccer right after school. Thursday there is volleyball and Friday we have a home football game. I want to try out a new GoPro camera that I purchased in all three sports.

Deadlines

Tennis edits should be done today. Check your page numbers, some are incorrect. Track article should be finished today and printed to be edited.

Track videos are due on Thursday. Monday we will complete Graduation and Sr. Party layouts and slideshows.

Bailey complete the Colophon, please.

Deadline!

Pages 82-94 and 100-105 are due Wed. That means quotes and all! Due as in everything!

Book Sales

The next two weeks we will be doing a pre-sale in the morning and at lunch. A sign up sheet is on my whiteboard. The morning sessions start at 7:30. Mrs. Shanks is storing all of the materials. Please be pro-active and make a sales pitch. MOre information will be given during class.

Underclass Articles

The articles for underclass layouts need to be revised to include details of happenings during the school year. The yearbook is a history of 2010-11 school year. The articles at present contain broad generalizations that could be copied and pasted into any school year. The revisions are due before spring break, tomorrow.

Underclass and Fall winter sports due.

Fall sports and underclass layouts final edits are due before you leave for state. Qunici, Mallery, and Travis can do final edits including any rewrites. Travis can convert any .ai artwork to .tif's and send the pages to the plant. Quinci, Mallery, Hannah and Austin G. need to complete interviews and finish sports videos.

Ad Design & Senior Video Sequencing

For those of you finishing up jobs I we have some new ones. There are a number of ads that need to be designed. I may assign them. Also the senior video can be started by Ian and Caitlinn in Final Cut. You will have to get the prepped images from Annie, Austin, and Dillon. Dillon and Jessie could start on LiveType or Motion animations for the Senior Interview Questions. First though, seniors need to meet quickly and finalize the questions.

Sophomore Spreads Issue

There is an issue with the Sophomore layouts. The template used to make the layout was a Size 8 template. Our yearbook is a Size 7. Therefore the existing layouts will need to be converted from Size 8 to Size 7.

Picture Por Favor

Hellooo! So I need a picture of Eretria Lefever for the junior layout...if anyone has a spare moment to take her picture I would forever be grateful!! And if you're feeling totally inspired, feel free to photoshop her into the school picture background thing :) MUCHAS gracias!

Pictures of Speech and Debate, Art

There is a Speech and Debate Meet this weekend here at Bigfork. We need pictures for the layout. Also there is a art display at the museum downtown of student work. Pictures of the art may be useful in some way.

Fall Sports Layouts Due 1/28/11

If you have a fall sports layout on pages 52-63 they are due 1/28. You should have others critique your article and images. There may be better pictures that they are aware of. This is a team effort you should give and take constructive criticism with humility. Changes can be made, sometimes even drastic changes.

Yearbook Editing Meeting-Tuesday Jan 11th

Tentative: Yearbook editing meeting will be held Tuesday night from 7:00 until were done. The main focus will be editing and revising the first 32 pages, cover and endsheets. For those people not working on layout editing, video-editing will be done on volleyball and soccer videos.

Deadlines

All page layouts from 1-32 need to be finished Friday January 7th. We will then edit these and send them off to the plant on January 14th.

All fall sports layouts and sports videos are due January 28th which is the end of the semester.

Staff Pictures for back Endsheet.

We need to take the staff pictures ASAP for the back endsheet. The composition is up for discussion. Monopoly cards?

State Champs Video

The football videos will be ready Thursday and available at the HS Office for free. Donations will be accepted to help with the camera.

Deadline for First 32 pages!

The deadline for the first 32 pages is December 17, the day before winter break. This gives you a little over three weeks to complete an opening and/or a senior layout if you have one. We will make any needed adjustment (revising, editing, layout changes) after the break.

Ronnie we need to examine the cover and endsheets ASAP.

We have a coverage problem.

The upcoming Class B State Championship present a problem. Obviously, everyone wants to take part as a fan. This is a once in a life time experience. However, if we just take part all we will have is the memories in our heads. The video and photographs we do or don't take will be a permanent record that can be savored over time. Bottom line is we need to plan for coverage. Available seniors get first pick for the quarter and the camera/video camera. In addition, we need to have a lesson in how to adjust the cameras when they are under or overexposed and/or blurry. The D80 pictures were 97% useless and the D700 were underexposed and blurry at the end. I will go over the camera adjustments in class.

Thanks :)
