My first thoughts of this class before it began were that I had the easiest class in the whole school. But now that I have seen some of what goes into RamTV I'm kinda have mixed feelings. Not bad ones, not at all. I can't wait for us to start and show everyone what we got going on in our heads and make this the best RamTV ever. But then I start to think and then I see whats really going to be going on this year. This year is going to be great after we get through all the work and sweat we will be able to look back and say that we were the best RamTV that there has ever been.
I have a pretty good idea of who's going to be doing what in our group. I'm not going to say how I think that it will be, because I might be wrong. But I do know that we have a strong group and that if we stay together this year will be awesome. Ms.L, you are great. I've never gotten to know you before, but after this week I know that it's going to be a crazy and fun year with you. (P.S. I'm never giving you a bad vibe: if you think that, it just that when I listen I get a very serious face.) I expect a lot this year, very big and great things. With all of the equipment and people in this class, I know that we will be able to do awesome things.
I got a new idea to put a twist on the freshmen roundup that was done a few years back. It's called the freshmen rodeo. We find a big freshmen that can hold us up and then run up to them without them seeing and then jump on their back and see how long it takes for them to shake us off.

This class has been wicked awesome so far, I get along with pretty much everyone in the class, so theres not really any drama or anything. Playing around with the camera equipment was pretty awesome, it was fun to explore things for ourselves and do stuff on our own.
I have a ton of wicked awesome ideas for RamTV that have been on a low simmer in my head since I first realized that someday I would be on RamTV. I want to have a bunch of SNL style skits and stuff, and a Waynes World parody would be the best, also a live action Beavis and Butthead would be cool. For halloween i want to have at least one of us dressed as a ghostbuster, because ghostbusters are the coolest. I look forward to this year and how awesome it will be.
Random Thoughts: signing up for emails sucks.
My first thoughts of this class before entering was that it was going to be easy, but I know it is going to take me a little while to adjust to talking on camera and get comfortable with it.
After being in this class and listening to what goes on and all the work that it takes to produce a show I know it's going to be somewhat stressful and everything isn't going to go the way I want it to and there are going to be some days when the equipment isn't going to act right and do what it's susposed to, but when that day comes I'll just have to deal with the then. Overall, We have a lot of great talent in this class and I have a feeling this is going to be a great RamTV.
I haven't really thought of any great ideas for Ram TV this semester, I usually just listen to others and then add in when necessary or something will just come to my brain when I'm not trying to think of ideas.
R@nd0m Th0ughts: I didn't see Furman or Stennis this morning so I missed out on my hugs.
Before I even got into this class I knew it wouldn't be as easy as everybody thought. The hardest part is going to be getting our point across to the school. There's going to be a lot of things that people probably won't understand that we will. Like martin and tristan, some of the things they did you had to know them to get it really, and half of the school thought it was stupid, when I thought it was funny. I like most everything about the class. I don't like bein infront of the camera, but I'm working on that.
All I want to see on ramtv is funny videos of people dancing. I have one on my camera of my brother that is amazing. He's dancing to "who's watching" by rockwell. It's the funniest thing I've ever seen. and I want to see things like that on ramtv. That's also my random thought.
So far I have enjoyed this class a whole lot. The prop fights and all the other random junk is fun. Well I started off in a group with Jordan, but somehow ended up by myself and just working with whoever, but to be honest I enjoy that a lot, because I can share my smarts(not really) with everyone, even though I am kind of slow. The equipment is pretty rad, any camera that's worth 5 G is awesome. Ms. LaFranics is pretty rad herself too cause she's like all I do is advise yo, and I'm like word. I just discovered we're using the new iMovie, I'm a little nervous because I've never used it before. I just hope this class will be a really good one, and not like last years first semester, no offense to them. So far I like filming everything and creating skits. The prop cabinet is pretty awesome too, some props are really awesome and more amazing than others. So far there isn't anything yet that I don't like.
I have like a million ideas, do some parodies. I like to make fun of politics, harry carrie, ghostbusters, peace loving hippies, and just other funny stuff, its gonna be a good semester i can tell.
My random thoughts are is well Kevin Bacon.
This class seems pretty chill so far, the people in here can come up with some pretty good stuff so far. It's just wether or not we can get it how we want on camera. I dont really mind being on camera so thats not going to be a problem. Ms. L is a good teacher more relaxed than others I would say, but overall im expecting this to be a good year in RamTV, even if the stuff we do is insider stuff that only a few of us find funny, it will still chill.
peace
I think that my first has gone by pretty smoothly, and I'm hoping that every week will go by as smoothly.
The group is pretty much a mish-mash of personalities, and it's this variety that will help make Ram TV great this semester. LaFrancis can be strict, but she usually leaves us on our own. This hands-off style of teaching shows just how good she is.
What I like about the class is the fact that LaFrancis uses a hands-off style of learning. I haven't found anything that I don't like, but this is just the first week.
I've been thinking of a parody of the TV show, Kingdom Hospital. In one episode, a headless corpse and it's missing head reanimated, and the body started running around the haunted hospitial in search of it's head; in every scene with the body running, a song that goes "Where's your head at?" was playing. This Halloween, I think we should have a living scarecrow sit in the Medford Commoms, minding his own business, when someone takes his pumpkin head from him and runs off with it; the scarecrow should then start running after the thief, and the song I mentioned should start playing. As for what happens next, I plan it as soon as we start.
Right now I'm thinking about how glad I am that it's Friday.
The first week of this class has been amazing. It has spurred me to get excited about this semester and working with this group.
In this group we have a unique mix. We have the people who are funny, the people who are serious and the people who can just go with the flow of things and get the job done. it seems that this group will work well together and get the job done. In ways I am scared of the stress level of this class but I know my work will pay of in the end. Ms.L being the advisor is amazing because I am so use to doing stuff on my own in TSA and staying in constant contact with an advisor. I have been more proud when I produce a product by myself rather than when a teacher helps me. We are very blessed to have the equipment that we have and I am very excited to use it.
I liked pretty much everything we have done so far. I think that the commericials would have went smoother if we would have produced a script first though. I love Ms.L just being the ADVISOR, I have always enjoyed that style of learning as long as it is in a "make your own product environment."
For interviwing the new teachers, I would love to make it seem like they are in a interigation room and interview them that way. It always seems to be boring when they sit in times square and interview. I also would love to see random boring things that we have to cover into fun and interesting.
I am so excited to be in this class and look forward to starting the show!
My thoughts of the first week of Video Production & Broadcasting (RAM TV) was mainly all good. Our teacher is amazing, totally not sucking up. You will learn Mrs. L that I do not suck up, I have my own opinions and i tend to state them loud and clearly. =] I thought the same as little Amanda who said she thought at first that this would be easy. I still do think this will be easy but I do know that deadlines and teamwork issues will come up and that with be tough. I think I'm going to really enjoy being a part of ram TV, and it will be a fun semester. You will also enjoy our class and you will have a great semester as well.
Well I tend to bring up what I don't like a lot so I'll go over that first. I think our group is going to have to get closer and become more of a family or team. Because I don't believe we have a a good sturdy team yet and we need to all work on that, and become more open about everything.
The things I liked were, firstly the teacher, (as I said before not sucking up) I like how you can speak your mind on anything, and that the class is like no other class I will ever have. I like that I can talk whenever and about whatever I please =].
To be honest I haven't really thought of many ideas yet. I know, I know shocking that I don't really have much to say. The only idea was when you were talking about what to do on the intro and if we should make it different or the same every time. I think it should be the same but have a little twist at the end. like Sabrina something like that.
