A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
Who can have a film class without the classic films? These films will be shown in tandem with Ed Sikov's "Film Studies; An Introduction. My students will have an easier time understanding the theory explained in their textbooks if they can visually see the theory on screen.
My students are enrolled at a public charter school for pregnant and parenting teens in Florida.
They enjoy movies but know nothing of film theory or production. My students have a fine arts requirement that this course will fulfill. I hope that I can play off their interest in movies and teach them more of film history and theory.
My Project
In addition to teaching my students camera shots, editing, special effects, and cinematography, these films will open my student's eyes to things they might not view normally. I want to expose them to this art and to different films. My students will also have an easier time understanding the theory put forth in their textbook if they can visually see it.
I am hoping that my students will emerge from this course with a new understanding of this art form and a new appreciation for the films they have viewed.
I want them to take an interest in film and entertainment and use what they have learned for a lifetime of film appreciation.
