The Wyvern TV this Summer

The Wyvern produces a wide variety of factual and interesting shows (sometimes they're even funny) from the formal Wyvern TV we produce each month to the informal opinion show the Wyvern Webisode. We even do unique features such as our review on Vine and the analysis of social media at the Boston Marathon.
Today I would like to inform you of 5 major projects the Wyvern TV Team will be doing before summer.

The Wyvern in 50
Although the Wyvern TV comes out regularly, some of the stories we cover might be outdated by the time it’s released or if you aren't interested in a certain report you’ll just skip past it. So from next week we will be starting a new regular show which will get produced whenever something major is happening in school or the local area. It is called ‘The Wyvern in 50’ and it is a 50 second show giving you the lowdown of what is going on. The first episode is set to air next Wednesday and we hope to get it on YouTube by the end of the day. It will be a short report on the DSMS Sports Day telling you the winners, the losers, the records however best of all – it will feature footage of the teachers relay!
This program is written, directed and presented by the year 8 pupils in the Wyvern team so you can expect that show to be unmissable!

Wyvern Webisode
Most of the current Wyvern team are in Year 11 and will be leaving DSMS next June so after the Shine School Media Awards on the 24th June, the Wyvern will be airing the second Wyvern Webisode where we will reflect upon the last 3 and a half years the paper has been running and what we hope to achieve in the last year. There will also be other reports (we are planning a big feature on technology culture and Twitter which if all goes to plan should be quite interesting).

Sports Day
The DSMS Sports Day video produced by the Wyvern team last year was the most successful video we have ever made getting over 550 views on YouTube and getting shared by pupils on Facebook and Twitter dozens of times. This year we hope to repeat that success by making another video summing up the day. Main difference is, this video will be bigger and better than last years!

Kenya Trip Promo Video
The Wyvern TV team have been planning this video for a while now however due to exams, meetings and other projects we had not had time to sort this out. Fear not, before the summer holidays (or shortly after) there will be a stunning video made by the Wyvern TV team featuring interviews with the people going on the school’s trip to Kenya in 2014. In the video we hope to give you the full story and as much information we can about the trip – also an insight in why the pupils actually want to go and what they hope to achieve whilst they are there.

The Apprentice
During Enrichment Week 2013 (which is the last full week before we break up for the Summer Holidays) there is going to be an amazing cross curricular activity going on combining media, English and Technology. If all goes to plan this should be excellent because DSMS is doing its own version of ‘The Apprentice’. The teachers playing Lord Sugar, Nick and Karen have not been confirmed yet however the candidates will be pupils at the DSMS. The Wyvern is planning to produce a short film
(like The Apprentice) showing exactly what is going on during the day and there will be reports to accompany it.
