STICK SEQUENCE

The ASB Bell Ringer exercises are quick, mini-lessons designed to jump start a class period.

Category:  Shooting
Materials:  Paper and pen/pencil

Assignment:  Using stick figures only, draw a sequence of a person buying something from a vending machine.  

Include: At least five shots (think wide, medium, tight, extra tight, and another creative angle). Label each shot that you include.

Lesson: This exercise teaches students to “shoot for the edit” by making them think in terms of how different shot types will edit together.

Dave Davis started a Broadcast Journalism class at Hillcrest High School in the fall of 1989. Since then, the school's student-produced show, "HTV Magazine," has become one of the nation's most-honored high school broadcasts.

In an effort to provide valuable, useful, hands-on instruction to broadcast teachers from across the nation, Davis founded ASB Workshop in the summer of 2000. Since then, the week-long workshop has provided training for hundreds of high school and middle school teachers from 47 states, plus Mexico, England, South Korea, and Japan.

In the spring of 2009 he was named the Springfield (MO) Public Schools Teacher of the Year. He lives in Springfield with wife Martha, and has two daughters who live and work in the area.
