**Broadcast Day - The Long Take** is a short video released on the Oliver B. Productions YouTube channel on March 4th, 2022. It follows some of the cast of *Channel -12 News* as they walk through the school in preparation for a broadcast day. The entire video takes place within one continuous shot.

## Outline

The video begins as Jailen Modi takes off his headphones and walks into Abbey Park High School. After making it to the main foyer, he says hello to Russell Johnson, and the focus is passed to him as he enters the school elevator. After almost falling asleep, the door opens to the second floor and he exits before Sean Montgomery rushes by, worried about being late for the broadcast. They run into the library, coming back with scripts, one of which they hand to Santiago Sanz, who then continues down the hall, answering a phone call and discussing visual arts. After a moment, he realizes he is going to be late and begins rushing down the stairs and through the hall to the TV studio, where Sean, Russell and Callum Armstrong are gathered. Callum wonders where Jailen is, prompting Sean to begin spiralling before Jailen walks in and grabs a jacket and has his microphone set up by Russell, who tells him the mic isn't on. Jailen confirms everyone is ready before Callum counts him down and the camera pans to reveal a TV which then transitions into the *Channel -12 News* intro.

## Project Background

The video was created as part of the crew's Communications Technology (Comm Tech) course at their high school. The assignment was to create a 2-3 minute video in one continuous shot showcasing a lot of camera movement and creativity. The crew decided to pay homage to *Channel -12 News* as it had recently ended.
