Last week, Mr. Anthony DiBenedetto, MHS teacher in the
Science, Business, and Technology Department, provided a summary sheet with
some interesting information on his programming to members of the Board of
Aldermen who had the opportunity to tour the Resource Center and surrounding
classrooms. He noted, “The students who are involved in video production at
Melrose High School continuously produce creative and innovative video
projects. They are also responsible for capturing the life of the school
community by recording events like graduation, sports, concerts, assemblies,
and community service." He added "Currently the video production program at Melrose High
School only covers “field production.” This is where cameras are used to record
outside of a studio, and the footage is edited later. The proposed renovation
would make it possible to cover the other major type of video production,
“studio production.” This would allow students to produce live programs
including news broadcasts, talk shows, morning announcements and more.”
