My idea for breaking news is to over the Muslim Student Association’s annual Eid Banquet at Baruch. This will be a wonderful opportunity to interview and record the event and have the opportunity to talk to students from various backgrounds on why they are in attendance and share any reflections they have about Ramadan and looking forward.

Today we’ll be debriefing about the eclipse and looking at some of your breaking news assignments.

Reminders and Upcoming Dates

Important update: I’m getting the sense that most people could use a little more time. I’m going to be changing the due date of your rough cuts of the 5-7 minute documentary from Monday to Wednesday next week.

This means that class on Monday, April 15 will be devoted to editing and production. This class is not mandatory, but I will be here for anyone who needs help with editing/structure, last-minute topic changed, etc. If that time can be better spent out in the world filming, that is totally fine.

Your rough cuts should be posted to the blog by class time on Wednesday, April 17, our last class before we break for spring recess.

When we return from spring break on Wednesday, May 1, we will have a mandatory check-in and production class. This will be followed by a non-mandatory production day on Monday, May 6.

Final cuts of your docs will be due by class time on Wednesday, May 8.

Your portfolio websites and reels will be due by class time on Wednesday, May 15.

I will be attending a private event aboard the Historic Lilac Steamship. There will be about 30 of us and we will experience the eclipse on the top deck. I plan on talking with other attendees as well as the staff who will have a more in-depth understanding of the eclipse and what is happening. Overall, I am excited and hope to captue some visually appealing and beautiful shots.
