Video is a good starting point for teaching. The video material can be used as a common experience as inspiration, for a new field of study, as fact or as a basis for discussion.
It also works great as a private expression. Film narrative also fits many students better than the traditional written language.
Today, most people are both consumers and producers of motion picture, thanks to social media and accessible video technology. Film and video are part of our daily lives, and we must be able to process the impressions and tools to understand the world around us.
