"Reading Film- The story of movies"

I really like the idea of using something that every student is exposed to teach other concepts.  Using something that students are familiar with and get excited about is a great idea.  I honestly never realized how much went into making movies and I think it is a great idea for students to learn this. The fact that students can study different affects of light by studying cinema is very interesting.  Students will also not forget what they learn in this program because it something that they are excited and engaged in.  Film is also something they see all the time so they will always remember because films will remind them of these lessons.  The students seemed so engaged in the videos and you could see them thinking critically when viewing each video.  They noticed things about the film that I would never notice in a film.  It also exposes students to different lines of work.  Many students would not be able to get this experience ever unless they went to a tech school or took a class in college.  The students were already liking the idea of making movies which is very exciting because it shows how much they enjoyed the lesson and the subject.
