Lesson reflection: I was nervous about pitching our film festival idea to the group as my film festival movies have a reputation for being fun and about sports. Therefore, my intention for this lesson was to inspire my students and get them excited to begin creating our powerful film. I feel that I was successful in doing this. In particular, students loved the format and style of the ‘sorry’ exemplar. They were absolutely hooked with this film and they were moved by his words, the setting and the music. This was a great opportunity for students to understand that although our films are usually entertaining because they are light hearted and humorous, if our film is executed correctly, it will have the power to move people (just like the ‘Dear Future Generations: Sorry’ exemplar). This really helped students to feel motivated and excited to create our film. They understood how our film can be so much more than just entertaining our audience.
