Program Manuals [Kid Witness News]

KWN (Kid Witness News) is a challenging and rewarding hands-on video education program.

Producing a video is a way to enjoy wonderful experiences, both through the filming and the various people encountered in the process. Pick a theme that captures the imagination of your entire KWN team, and produce a video!

Use video cameras and editing equipment, learn about structure, titles, storyboards, surveys, interviews and on-site reporting during the production process. Learn the roles of each individual involved in video production, and experience joy, pride and fun as a member of a team involved in producing a superior quality video.

The first step is to form a team, and then for everyone in the team to decide on a theme. Plan whatever kind of program you like - a news program, a documentary, a drama, or some other type of program.

Decide on roles for all KWN team members and start producing your own video!
