Friday Films
One of my favorite traditions with my Multimedia classes is to have "Film Friday." These are short films that I show on Fridays. The examples range from Pixar shorts to student films. It gives my students some examples of what's possible, gets them thinking and seeing how others use film. Then, after each film we have a discussion. These are the simple prompts that I use for our film discussion. This does not take up a whole class period; however, it's a fun way to mark the end of the week. I also use this time to showcase a type of film we might be making, like commercials, silent film, or stop motion. Regardless of whether you teach, I recommend these films. They all can teach us a little something.
