Lately, in Multi-Modal Literature, we have been discussing film. I have found the chapters we have been required to read to be quite interesting. Whenever I watch a film or even a television show I simply watch it for pleasure. I have never sat down and analyzed the camera angles used and techniques used. Now, I find myself analyzing movies and TV that I watch. I think that the chapters have really made me notice and pay more attention to the work that goes into creating film. Creating a movie or TV show is not an easy feat. It involves so much more. Everything about a scene has to be just right. The camera angle, the sound, the believability of the dialogue, and even the set have to be just right in order to portray the scene properly. Overall, I am really enjoying our unit on film and I am looking forward to the upcoming film festival!
Also, in class we never got the chance to share our links, so I will share mine here. The film website I chose was afi.com. AFI stands for the American Film Institute. The website contains tons of interesting things all pertaining to film. They have a variety of information about different films, actors, and awards they have won. They even have photo galleries that show film over the years. Something on this site that I have found interesting is a link to Lights, Camera, Education. This site is created by AFI and contains a wealth of resources for teaching film. There are video clips, play lists, and book choices from educators all over America. One such book that this site recommends is The 21st Century Educator's Handbook. It provides tips and ideas about teaching film in the classroom. This website is very fascinating, and well worth the time to check out!
