Description:

Wyatt Ferber, FOX Sports Live producer (FOX Sports 1 Network), contacted me to provide a 30- to 45-second video of man-on-the-street (MOS) interviews of Alabama fans' thoughts about the upcoming game with Texas A&M (2013).  Wyatt explained to me that the package I provided would be combined with a package from Texas A&M to create the Campus Clash segment. He also explained that most of his co-workers on Fox Sports Live did not think that university students could create "airable" content.  The material my students and I submitted aired nationally multiple times during FOX Sports Live on the Friday night and Saturday of the A&M game. Wyatt expressed to me that our contribution was a huge success.

 

I assigned this project to my TCF334 students. The students shot and edited 90% of the project.  I re-shot the opening shot of Denny Chimes to demonstrate to my students how to do quick and smooth tilt shots. I also cleaned up the final edits and re-mastered the audio track to prepare it for delivery to Fox Sports.  In class, we compared the version the students submitted, to the final version I had submitted. This exercise, combined with the feedback provided by the FOX Sports Producer was a good learning experience for the students in my class.
