This was my first production I ever created for this class. Alongside my partner Shakeem Williams, we dug deep into one of the clubs at mhs and got different point of views from important members of the club. Once we wrote our script, edited and revised it, we published it for The Pulse.

Hoco 10-23-16 (start):
This was a tough story for me. I tried to look for a deeper story within the story that was created, but didn't have any idea where to start. I, along with my partner Dominique, went to all of the events to get footage and interviews regarding the topic. Script writing was done according to what actually happened as well as putting the perspectives of others in.

MHS Codes are a unique part of the pulse. It shows a bunch of perspectives instead of just covering one event. For this one, I had to get teachers that use the program and get their insight on it. I reported as well, and it was difficult for me to find a good place to do the Stand up, however, the information was done correctly.

This special Illing themed production was difficult because we had to go over to illing and film, but also there was not a lot of broll to get, so we had to pull it from past experiences.
