Lake Forest High School

New Media

Assignment: Craft video shorts that individually and collectively tell our school's story to our community audience.

Due: One 2-3 minute web based video that could on a specific page on the new lfhs.org website.

Goal: Creating short, quick narratives that connect with the audience immediately and motivate them to want more by watching the next segment. Using music and natural sound together is essential to telling a compelling story. These videos need to look professional and provide context for people checking out the school for the first time.
