- 1. How Film making fits into the world of student
learning
By Jay Cahill-EDUC1751
2. A Vision of K-12 Students Today
Relevance to the student and subject area
The film conveys the message that technology has transformed the
lives of students.
The use of children with a look of desperation symbolises that they
want their voice to be heard.
This inter-relates with the reality of todays world and classroom.
The needs of students are commonly ignored.
Some teachers dont have the capacity/skills to provide students
with technologically based lessons.
3. Many students connect with the films focal message; technology
is able to enhance their engagement within the classroom.
Another feature which contributes to building connections- the use
of close up camera angles to become personal with the children and
music which creates a tense atmosphere.
This engages students with the true reality that technology is a
vital factor within learning and general life of today. Most relate
to the needs of the students in the film
4. Relevance to subject area
Repetition:- continuously showing cards which captures the inner
voice of the student.
This speaks to me as an aspiring science teacher. This is relevant
to science as it enables me to address the technological demands of
the science curriculum.
Also enables me to create innovative measures in delivering course
material. Science course depends on the use of technology and
heavily caters for its use.
The statement that science is widely based on technology
interrelates with the films emphasis on its importance, seen
through the presence of technological features throughout the
film
5. Relevance to pedagogical area
The emphasis of technology in the film can be readily used to
improve the delivery of technologically based lessons.
Teachers are able to gain a clear insight as to how they can better
cater for their students.
The quality and delivery of lessons can thus be improved by viewing
this film.
teachers are also encouraged to listen to and consider the wants
and needs of students in their classrooms.
This film reflects the transformation of the classroom in todays
world, showing that students are becoming highly dependable on
technological use.
6. Viewers can clearly see that students want their voices to be
heard; teachers must find a way to adapt to the modern needs of
student within the classroom.
This film can provides a view into the notion that teachers can
provide new opportunities for students.
The film basically conveys that if the teachers adapt to modern
technology and use it to build strong and successful lessons,
students will better engage themselves within class and as a result
understand the content in a relatable format.
7. Forbidden
Relevance to student and subject area
The use of effective lighting and emotive music- interacts with the
audience.
Supports the context of the narrative, which explores the
generations of women living under the same roof, caring for each
other.
This is a real world connection which successfully conveys a
message to students.
The effective use of filming techniques such as close-up shots and
various camera angles.
Enables the students to devise effective film making strategies to
support the modern learning style.
8. Although this film is rather effective, it is difficult to
establish connections with the science curriculum.
The message conveyed and the plot holds little connection to
scientific strategies, techniques and topics:- it is based on a
fictional narrative which explores the heartfelt story of women
livingunder the same roof caring for one another.
In saying this however, it is not to say it is a bad film-it just
doesnt effectively connect with the science curriculum, based on
the use of camera angles, and special effects such as music and
lighting.
9. Relevance to pedagogical area
Although little connection can be seen toward the film and science
curriculum, the film is still most useful from a pedagogical
perspective.
Film making is an imperative aspect to the science curriculum,
which can be used to achieve syllabus outcomes.
Students can examine this film to gain an insight into the process
of film making, and how to produce a well executed film.
Techniques used in the production of this film, such as sound
effects, camera angles, lighting etc, can also be readily applied
to science-based films.
10. By readily examining these techniques, students are enabled to
execute their own film.
Such a task enables the student to be creative and innovative in
their own ideas.
This also suffices the commonuse of technology within the classroom
to support 21st century learning techniques.
