6. A Vision of K-12 students today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-ZVCjfWf8 A good example of information delivery using film in science Uses a very simple concept uses relevant visual images and words requires students to listen and read at the same time music that students can relate to sparks interest images maintain interest throughout the film concept can be easily modified for use in science lessons
7. “I meant ‘cells’... Not ‘cells’” We can use a bad example of film to show students what NOT to do!
8. FORBIDDEN http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rlc1RfFVhX8&feature=related can easily deliver the wrong message too open for interpretation requires concentration to unravel concept useful for english and drama... Not so good for science good example of camera angles BUT... Very, very BORING!!!
10. A boring movie can still inspire good cinematography angle Lighting Contrast editing zoom in or zoom out pan left or pan right tracking
11. We all know kids learn from each other... So why not utilise theses digital natives and get them educating each other. Have them research a topic and put their film knowledge to the test
