Friday's Mission
Come in, sit down, and log into Yearbook Avenue.
Today we will learn about two of the most important jobs that we have as yearbooks staff members.
We will discuss SPELL CHECKING names and INDEXING PHOTOS.
Once the CD has arrived from the photographer, a master list of names will be entered into the system by the good folks at Jostens. Until then, we have to spell check the old fashioned way.
In the closet there are five copies of a list of all students 7-12. This list is generated from POWER SCHOOL. We will use this list to verify the correct spelling of names and when indexing photos.
STEP 1: Go through the page assigned to you. Check to make sure that each students name is spell correctly and the proper grade number is in parenthesis to the right of it. If not, type in the correct information.
Step 2: hit save.
EASY ENOUGH!!!
Indexing is next. This process creates a list of every time a student appears in the book at the back of the yearbook.
Step 1: Start at the top left of the page assigned to you. Right click on a photo and select View In IMAGE LIBRARY.
Step 2: Using the master list in the closet, enter the CORRECT SPELLING of all the students (ONLY STUDENTS! NOT TEACHERS OR GRADUATES FROM LAST YEAR) in the space provide.
Step 3: Save the image.
Step 4: Continue until all images are done on the spread.
Now... PREPARE TO SPELL CHECK NAMES AND INDEX!
Tierney: You have an alternative project. Can you please work up a list of our sponsors divided by the size of package? We will clear out the left side of the case and hang that list up in a nice, professional looking way. Thanks!

Tips for shooting in the gym
Shooting in high school gymnasiums are always tricky. But if you use a few steady rules, you can capture action and adjust the colors later.
Tip One: Change the ISO setting. The higher the ISO, the better your photo will be in a dark environment.
Tip Two: Use the Sport Setting. This will give you a faster shutter.
Tip Three: Turn the flash off. The standard flash only works up to 25 feet anyway. Using the flash is actually making your photos darker.
Tip Four: Brace yourself or use a monopod. Shaky hands make blurry photos.
Tip Five: Try using MANUAL FOCUS. Sometimes this is the best way to capture fast motion. You can focus on the lane and then capture a lay-up next time they are down that direction.
Tip Six: Shoot reactions after shots. Shoot the bench. Shoot the coaches. Shoot the cheer leaders. Shoot the time outs. Shoot before and after a big shot. These shots capture emotion. Action shots are great... but when paired with an emotional shot, stories can be told.
Tip Seven: The platform that the pep band trap set is on can be used in the second half of home ballgames. Its a great way to get a new angle.
Tip Eight: Upload shots EVERY DAY after the game and lable the folder when the game and date. This makes life way easier.
Tip Nine: Take a program from the game and keep it so we can write captions later.
Tip Ten: Write on the program what the final score is and any important details like winning shot and exciting moments.
