Neoga’s High School media class recently completed an exciting video project entitled The Good Life. They worked together to create their own 50’s style sitcom! The assignment was used as an introduction to the television industry portion of the course and students learned many skills used in this influential sector of American media. Script writing, acting, and video editing were all included in this lesson, as were other less obvious components, such as stage makeup. According to the teacher, Mr. Marty Gibson, the video editing was the most difficult part. Students used the green screen and editing software to produce the sitcom. “The writing was excellent,” he said. “[The sitcom] was very good for a school project.” The project lasted roughly a month from December 1st to January 3rd, being completed when the students returned from Christmas vacation.
