The keywords in our group' sitcom connect with the audience because they are practically the summary of what they are going to be seeing in our video. Our film's key words are: entertaining, pidgin, embarrassment and karma. Entertaining because sitcom is a situation comedy where there will be an problem that happens and the characters will have to solve it. Pidgin, the grandmother in the story is Hawaiian and our group thought that Hawaiian pidgins are pretty funny so we decided to add in. Embarrassment, Sally- a sassy girl who will be embarrassed by her grandmother in the video. And finally, karma. Sally dislikes substitutes in her school a lot. She thinks that they are unintelligent and doesn't know what is going in the class. One day her very own grandmother - a person who Sally always complains how she had a sub today and she hated it, becomes her substitute.

The overall message that we wanted the audience and especially teenagers to comprehend after watching this sitcom is that substitutes should be treated with respect just like any normal teachers. I understand that sometimes they do not understand how some classes work, however imagine this, they are tourists visiting a country they have never been to and everything is new and confusing to them, just like they're subbing a class they have never been to. ''Don't give them a hard time''- every single teacher's saying. ;)

The biggest team challenge I faced was the time schedule. Our class spent to much time on the "Tiny Worlds'' project so we only had two weeks to get our sitcom turned in before spring break. I thought two weeks was enough for a 90 seconds to 3 minutes maximum sitcom, however everyone in my team was super busy after school, I was too, so nothing done the first week. The second week, after two day, we finally got our filming done and spent 1 and a half day editing. Social study, science, math, and English homework... EVERYTHING was due so yes the last two weeks were really stressful. In conclusion though, I was happy about how the video turned out. I'm not really sure why we did not cut out the end of video where Hailey and Sally were laughing when the tutu walked i,, anyway it was really fun and I enjoyed doing these types of projects- sitcom and come. HAPPY SPRING BREAK!!
Ps: The video will be up soon!
