In regards to the film project that we did in Non Print media on Monday, I really did see value in it.  Not only is there a creation and creativity aspect which is essential in a language arts setting, but there are things that students must pay close attention too when they are creating their film.  The story board part of the project was extremely necessary for the successful completion of the project.  A teacher can even simply have their students story board a story and not have them video it, but the actual video portion of the project is the icing on the cake if you will.  If I was ever going to implement this project into my own lesson plans however, there are some things that I would change or have concerns of.  The first is that I would be reluctant to turn my students loose in the school and allow them to run through the school unaccompanied, at least during actual school hours.  In my own high school which was very small; allowing students to try to find filming locations would have been extremely difficult since much of the building was in consent use. The year after I graduated the school actually turned one of the gyms into several classrooms by putting up moveable walls to separate the classes.  As you can imagine the walls were not very sound proof so classes would often be disrupted by each other.  Because of this experience of mine, I would lean towards having this as a take home project, and simply give them a large deadline.  If I was to give the student’s time to film in class however, I would make it mandatory to bring in props for the videos.  Much of our time was spent looking for suitable props to use in our own video.  That is how I would make their time in class as productive as possible.
