Week 17- Distractions

I had a rehearsal for the school musical, Hello, Dolly!, so I couldn't make it to FRiK this week. Stacey told me that she showed them Life of Brian, but they were whiny and disruptive. They wanted to do their chemistry homework. They had already seen it. They couldn't answer questions about camera angles because they had never learned about them. I suppose they forgot all about the lessons Stacey and I taught them prior to the film-watching part. Next time, we should pick an obscure film, either foreign or very old, that none of them would have seen before. And we should tell them about whatever element of filmmaking we want them to pay attention to before starting it, just to make sure they know something.
