Director of Educational Technology Sheri Alford spoke about Student MediaFest, including the strong response that followed the request for projects to be judged in a variety of digital areas – audio, graphics, video animation and live action video – as well as website content and design. Educational Technology Facilitator Carrie Foster presented dozens of grade-based awards to students and student teams.
Winning the top award, Best of Show, was a group of ninth-grade friends from two high schools.
Named as Best of Show winners for a live action video that explores the topic of cyber bullying are ninth-graders Michael Kim, Patrick Liou, Nathan Yoo, Jessica Lu and Yoolim Seo. Four students attend Memorial High School; Yoolom Seo is a Stratford High ninth-grader. “We were totally surprised,” Michael Kim says. “We thought ‘No way!’ We knew that the Guthrie Center students would be participating and so we weren't expecting to do so well.”
The idea for their live action video was born inside Jyusef Larry’s multimedia class at Memorial High, and then grew organically into their MediaFest submission. “We were thinking about everyday issues. We all saw a cyber bullying video back in middle school where the students were texting. We thought that Facebook is the place where students are today, more than texting. So we tried to do cyber bullying from a student’s point of view in our video,” Michael Kim said.
The Memorial High students plan to start a film making club called MHS Studios as a result of their surprise Best of Show win.
