Dear Principals and Teachers,
Greetings from MediaCorp! As announced in my email on 4 Feb 2008, Roving DV will be back this year. I hope your students have been busy shooting, editing and scripting their news clips, for we are now calling for entries for Roving DV 2008, to be broadcast on Channel NewsAsia. We hope this can be from August 2008 onwards.
This year, Roving DV and DV Xiao Yuan will be run as separate competitions with separate timelines. Details on DV Xiao Yuan will be announced by my colleagues from Chinese News.
For Roving DV 2008, there will be two categories: Category 1 - Primary schools only Category 2 - Secondary schools, Junior Colleges and ITEs
And these are the judging criteria: 1. News value 15% 2. Scripting 25% 3. Camera skills 25% 4. Editing 25% 5. Voicing 10%
Closing date is 22 Sep 2008, and details on the prizes, shortlisitng of finalists and SMS voting will be announced later.
You may like to know, last year saw a big jump in the number of entries received, up from 78 (2006) to 170 (2007) for both language categories. The students’ enthusiasm was heartwarming; having a national platform to showcase their work was clearly an empowering experience. I hope they’ll enjoy Roving DV this year, and I look forward to receiving your schools’ entries.
Attached are guidelines for Roving DV 2008 and an entry form. More details are available on www.channelnewsasia.com/rovingdv. If you have any queries, do email me at rovingdv@channelnewsasia.com . I may put your queries and my responses on our Roving DV website as an FAQ.
