The crew that creates The Inside Scoop broadcasts is just like you.  There are freshmen through seniors. They range from struggling English learners to AP students.  But what the all have in common is a strong work ethic and the desire to make Century High School a better place for all students.

We like to have fun but we take our responsibility, of informing the school about events and information they need to succeed, seriously.  Anybody who wants to try to be an anchor on the broadcasts is allowed to do it multiple times to get the hang of it.  Some students then decide that it’s not for them and just remain in the crew working behind the cameras.  That’s perfectly fine.  Not everyone has what it takes to be “on air.”

Behind the camera is where the action takes place.  Besides the two to three anchors you see as a viewer, there is an entire crew of seven to ten students working all the equipment that make the broadcasts work.  They include: the student director of the show, the technical director who switches from camera to camera using the video mixer, the student running the audio mixer and another student who operates the digital video computer that plays the show opening, ending credits and any recorded segment to be shown.  Another student prepares and monitors the cameras throughout the broadcast.  One student runs the teleprompter that the anchors use to read their script during the broadcast.  If we have a live quad report scheduled, two students are needed to do that: the quad cameraperson and the on-camera quad reporter.

So you can see that there IS a place for you no matter what your technological skills may currently be.
