Module 2. Compelling Experience and Education #2 (Film and Television)

            I concluded that bridging the making of compelling videos and an effective teaching experience is all about the design again. Mixing them well together is required for both making compelling videos and effective teaching. The component of mixing in making films (sound, light, angles, and actors’ expressions) can be portrayed by good examples, proper repetitions, and well organized materials in teaching. Both making films and teaching have each component, and designing the use of these components is what compelling experience is all about. I also realized that a good design comes from a real understanding of the subject matter. To express the perfect theme in the movie, we should completely understand the situation, the mood of the actor’s. Otherwise the movie fails in attracting the people’s attention. To teach the student effectively, the teachers should completely understand the subject matter. Otherwise the teachers fail in providing an impressive learning experience to students.

          Making a one minute-compelling video provides me a great chance to think about this fact. I found out that I was eager to understand my actor’s (“the fly” for my case) mood and draw the attention from the audiences. In teaching, the passion to  completely understand and to transmit the knowledge could bring the well-designed teaching experience and be able to leave a positive impression on the students.
