My take on "The Story of Movies"

While watching Reading Film: The Story of Movies, I thought the class being taught was very interesting, as it is not often that you associate science connecting with filmography.  At one part in the video the teacher points out that students often believe anything they hear or see on television or in movies, though not everything is true.  I think it is extremely important for students to understand that not everything it true, media over exaggerates news, movies change the events of movies based on a true story, etc.  the list could go on.  However, it is also important for students to learn the emotion behind a movie, the science and art behind lighting, even math can tie into filmography.  Anyone reading this is probably questioning "how?"  But as many don't know, animation is created by mathematicians, and they too need to understand the science of lighting and the music that sets the mood.   Do I think the program could be used in a lot of classes, no of course not, but do I think it is  a great class on its own, of course!  Especially when you hear that it is a free program.  It will help enhance critical thinking among students and allow them to assess what they think to be true or not.
