[STN-Affiliates] Highlight reels, charging, etc.

[Irving, Ted]

This question is for any media program out there, but especially the
large ones. How are you dealing with video requests and how do you
balance getting your media students to complete your assignments as well
as provide video services to the district, campus and other departments
(core, clubs, sports, etc.)? Our program is a media academy with about
150 students. We offer college credit courses, internships,
certifications and much more. We operate like a college Mass Comm.
program. However, we get overwhelmed with requests to produce videos for
clubs, sports core classes, etc. I have submitted a fee schedule and I'm
waiting on approval from my principal and CTE coordinator. But I do have
a few lingering question which are:

1)       If you charge for video productions, do you set a limit per
semester?

2)       How did you justify charging for video production services?

3)       Are you producing athlete highlight DVD reels and if so, what
are the parameters?

4)       Did you rewrite your curriculum to include "for pay," services
that are also counted as a grade?

5)       Are you renting your equipment for a daily rate to the parents
or those in the community?

6)       If you are producing a lot of content for external and internal
parties, when do you have time to teach theory or is that skipped?

7)       If you are producing a lot of content and charging, what normal
teacher duties have you been able to get reduced or removed? Did you
request that state testing and other duties be removed and if so, how
did you approach your principal with this request?
