The Norwood Public Access (NPA) held its Lights, Camera, Summer program, a youth media initiative that allowed students to learn the basics of video production and create their own content this week. The program was designed for 15 students, who were divided into groups to work on individual projects.
The students spent several days learning about camera operation, editing, and other aspects of video production from NPA staff members, including instructor Mikke Maloof. They also had the opportunity to interview local residents, including Perks Coones’ manager, a custodian, and featured footage of the coffee shop’s interior.
One student, Tim Weeners, said that the program was “really fun” and that he learned a lot about video production. He added that the experience was valuable and that he would like to save his favorite part of the project. Another student, Aaliyah-Hnchmr, played the role of Perks Coones’ manager in their segment.
The students worked tirelessly to create their own “Sizzling Summer Segments” pieces for NPA-TV. Each group created a unique and engaging video that showcased their skills and creativity. The segments included interviews with summer camp counselors, footage of people swimming and jumping into Father Mac’s pool, and more.
NPA-TV instructor Mikke Maloof was pleased with the students’ efforts, stating that they were “quick learners” and that their videos were “very good.” He added that the program was a great way for the students to learn about video production and have fun at the same time.
The students’ hard work paid off when NPA-TV broadcasted their “Sizzling Summer Segments” on its channel. Each student who participated in the program received a certificate, class photo, tickets to the “Sizzling Summer Segment” premiere, and a DVD of the project they helped create.
Erin Crowley, staff writer for Norwood Public Access, was proud of the students’ accomplishments and said that the program gave back a lot to the community. She added that the NPA staff is exceptional and that she looks forward to seeing the students’ future projects.
