I really enjoyed filming the main scene which was shot at a different location. This scene took place at Mark’s house, the road and the local school. Hannah and Mark were the actors, so I filmed. I found that using a basic video-camera was challenging. It is like most technical things, I just have to get used to it. Research suggests that not enough teachers take chances when incorporating multi-model literacy as they often lack confidence and “felt limited” by their own skills and experience (Hobbs & Frost, 2003, p. 338). As an undergraduate English teacher, I need to remember that research into media literacy instruction can meet traditional goals (Hobbs & Frost). I believe that I need to master basic video and video editing if I want to incorporate these into my future classroom (CQLE). It may mean that I will have to invest in a video recorder and learn by myself, or complete a course outside of uni (LCD).
We worked well together on the project, and we had fun (MLS). Killen (2009) says that “people learn best through personally meaningful experiences that enable them to connect new knowledge to what they already believe or understand” (p. 2). Even though I was not as confident at operating the video camera, my team were understanding and patient with me (SSLA). Filming was one area that helped me to feel included in the group.
