We say it all the time, but it is worth mentioning again.  TEENVIEW Magazine is a publication that offers a platform for young people to grow their skills and showcase their talent.  This summer we were able to expand the TEENVIEW experience to a few students attending the Wichita Prep Upward Bound Program.  For a little more than four weeks, the students came to our office and learned about TV Production.  In fact, they themselves produced a future television show that is scheduled to air on MyTV July 18th at 11:30am.

The students were able to learn lighting techniques, camera functions, how to use a Green Screen, editing, and Closed Captioning.  Many of the participating students had minimal if any experience in this field.  Here is what a few students had to say about the experience:

Kelly: My favorite part about this experience is having the chance to lean how to use equipment that people use in movie sets.  It was fun and I want to know more about using cameras, lighting, editing and sound.

Karen: My favorite part of the experience was to be able to film in a place like the film studio.  I have seen film studios in movies before and I actually got to have the experience!

Alondra: My favorite part of the Mindfire experience was the hands-on activities; using the boom microphone.

Elizabeth: I liked when we were recording because we got to laugh and have fun.

Monica: My favorite part about this experience was working the cameras and lighting.  I’m happy to be apart of the experience, it’s a once in a life time experience.

TEENVIEW is constantly looking to empower young people to reach their full potential.  Working with Wichita Upward Bound gave us another opportunity to fulfill our purpose.  If you know of any young people that could benefit from the TEENVIEW Experience, please contact us by visiting our website at www.teenviewmagazine.com
