The enjoyment of Intro to Film & Video

My favorite part of Mr. Hamilton's class has been watching different movies and learning about the different techniques on film making and the lengthy process that goes with it. We have gotten to see what technology is used to make each process less time consuming and less costly. We've even explored the expenses that came with having a colored TV versus a black and white one. My two favorite films have been the uncovering of the scandal behind the game show "21," and  "The Social Network" about the development and launching of Facebook.  "21" was one of my favorites because the one who kept the scandal hidden came out and confessed that he didn't want to look bad.  In "The Social Network" I liked how Mark and his team came together to make sure Facebook was a success.  Our class has also learned about the different networks of television and how most of them started out in radio and then moved to television. Film and video has also allowed us to explore the different radio stations and their different frequencies all across the United States.  Different host and co-hosts have been in radio as the years have progressed.  An exciting part of the class has been writing movie reviews for the movies we have watched.  Another interesting layer to film and video has been taking quizzes and working on group projects.  My favorite was the crossword puzzle for television. These would serve as bonus points which would be added to the next test.  On a scale of one to ten, this class would get a 10.
