Students learn hands-on skills in video production

The RHS Review is a group of people who have banned together to create this “newscast” for the students of Rolla High School. These people include senior Chloe Myers, junior Jeremy Dalton, junior Noah Louis-Daily, junior Brandon Clingenpeel, and some others. The teacher that runs it is the video production class, Janice Mulia.
“It’s supposed to be a show that comes out, like every couple of weeks. Giving us a run down, you know, maybe covering events that have happened during those few weeks of school but, it also includes some recurring features such as Chillin’ with Dillon and Questions in the Hall,” Mulia said.
They have many things that they show during some advisory days. Apparently the most episodes they have ever made was ten in one year. It sure seems like they may be able to beat this “record,” but it hasn’t been around for long.
“This is the third year,” Mulia said.
Even though it is just their third year, people seem to really enjoy their show. Mulia even uploads the episodes to youtube.com on their Youtube channel as a way for other people outside of our high school can watch. It isn’t too hard to be able to join their show.
“It is usually juniors and seniors who have been in video production for a few years, and they can be like reporter, camera people they kind of create their own segments. So, for instance Chloe Myers usually does something like a spotlight on somebody, Alex Sepaugh does the Chillin’ with Dillion thing and anchor shots, Garret is the editor, Jeremy Dalton and Branden Clingenpeel cover events,” Mulia said.
Many of the students who are currently a part of RHS Review are juniors, so they can continue this show next year and teach the new people who are to join next year how to do this. They also have a very critical way of choosing what to air on the show.
“We just look at the calender and see what is coming up,” Mulia said.
They cover events ranging from Mr. RHS to Polar Plunge. They show commercials at times for certain groups. They have groups of individuals, like the RTI, come to them and ask them to make videos about their programs or their event. It is a kind of quick process at times but, do they ever feel rushed at all?
“Yes. Always,” Mulia said.
