Students Honored for Documenting Long Beach Hospital Rally

The City of Long Beach Chamber of Commerce recognized five students in Long Beach High School’s TV Studio Production class for their documentation of the hospital rally in October.

The students made use of the skills they learned in class by filming, editing and producing a video that garnered a great deal of positive feedback.

The students were invited by the rally organizers to record the event, which advocated for an emergency room at the location of the closed Long Beach Medical Center. The hospital was damaged during Superstorm Sandy and the barrier island has been without an emergency medical facility ever since.

The video was filmed using three cameras; two were assembled on tripods and had shotgun microphones and a third captured b-roll footage. The editing portion was completed in the high school’s new digital media studio using Final Cut Pro X software on Apple computers.

City officials and rally coordinators were pleased with the final video and wanted to do something to reward the students. Damian McLaughlin, Scott Powers, Cesare Sandoval, Max Tunney and Julia Weiner were each presented with a Citation from the Chamber of Commerce during a ceremony at the Park Bar and Grill. Teacher Eric Krywe shared the accomplishments of each student as he distributed their awards.
