Before your session, prepare a class script at school using the Teacher's Planning Resource (which you receive when you confirm your booking). You can download our script template and wrap your stories around an inquiry topic, or you can use the OnTV curriculum links and base your ideas on that.
Then it's time for the students to produce and present their show in a real TV studio.
During the session each student gets a job: graphic artist, director, presenter, camera operator, make-up artist . . . supported by script rehearsals, technical instruction, costume fittings and set preparation. Then it's – LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION!
Students learn:
• Scriptwriting for the screen
• Operation of professional, technical equipment
• Linking written and visual text
• Systems and processes used in live TV
• Teamwork and working towards a deadline
You can view the show online straight away, anywhere in the world! Your school can tune in to the web show and watch your broadcast. In fact anyone can. Alternatively, you may wish to receive a copy of your show on DVD.
Cost: $7.50 per student
Teachers + 3 accompanying adults: Free

OnTV has established a small student operated Kids Crew to film events at Capital E. Some of their footage has even aired on professional TV! The members of the crew have been selected from school programmes and weekend courses for the public. This is a scholarship-based programme and therefore free to selected students. Contact the OnTV Coordinator to find out more.
Capital E & Museum of Wellington
In a collaboration with the Museum of Wellington students produce their own documentary with this fun and educational programme based on two of the Museum's most popular exhibitions: Telling Tales and The Wahine Disaster.
Students spend the morning at the Museum researching and developing their interviews based on the exhibition of their choice. Then they walk to Capital E's OnTV Studio to spend the afternoon producing their television documentary show: either Time Watch, based on Telling Tales, or Wahine Experience, based on The Wahine Disaster.

Development can focus on Technology through returning to the equipment, English through looking at making or creating further meaning from television production, or the Arts through developing ideas, practical knowledge or understanding in context.
