First of all, I think it is important to note — we filmed our video in Hurricane Sandy. Our video was shot 100% outside in the gazebo in the Quad. BAM!
Anyways, we had a great time filming our video. I did a lot of stuff like this in high school so this really brought me back to my junior and senior year. I also think that there is value in it as well. You have to read the story and understand it, and then you have to seriously think about the plot, etc. in order to storyboard it. As you film it you have to get into the characters and act the story out. I also think that video production is important to English classes. It is good to know about film techniques and all that good stuff because film is a form of literature and art and is definitely a healthy aspect to add to an English class.
Overall I had a great time doing it and it is definitely something I want to do when I am a teacher.
