TV Production / Western Civ

On Friday it was like we had TV Production class combined with Western Civ. We looked at two videos for Baltimore and Los Angeles. You could defiantly tell which video was not only made recently, but was produced better, the Los Angeles one. But as always there is a method to Mr. Schick’s madness. So instead of having a relaxed Friday, we instead have a project due. We have to create a commercial promoting either Athens or Sparta. We can work in groups and you don’t have to actually create a commercial, but that would give you a terrific grade. The most we have to do is create a storyboard of what we would produce. I’m excited and confused for the project, my main question will be at the bottom for Mr. Schick to answer later. But I am excited because I do have some interest in doing something like this when I’m older. And on Monday if we have a cyber-day we will continue to work on this. But my one question is: what time period does the commercial take place in? Like do we use the time period that actual Athens or Sparta took place in, or now? See you hopefully Tuesday!
