Central Senior Film Festival Planning

Awesome meeting to get the ball rolling for the Film Festival at Central Senior!

Ideas considered:

- End product - what do we want the Film Festival to look like? - red carpet, judges, video feed for family members who can't attend, students and staff dressed up for event, student MC

- How will it look in the classroom? - Culminating Tasks for language units, focus on process - portfolio of planning, development and revision, use success criteria that allows for choice, student portfolio to document process (could be in Google Drive)

- Types of films to be entered? - 3-5 minutes long - genres (documentary, spoof ads, PSA, music video, trailers, animation)

- How to allow for collaboration and help? - discussion forum on Desire to Learn

- How to celebrate success and share with parents and community - website with details and goals as well as examples of student product/process, on Facebook for Central Senior

- How to build capacity for students and staff to use the technology available? - Tina and Jeremy for tech support, connect with National Film Board, use of Desire to Learn Forum, set up a Film Festival Club for students and staff to come to develop skills and share ideas, binders with instructions for programs from ICT website

- How to assess the success of the project? 
community involvement - facebook votes for films,

student participation - overall #,
attendance - student, parent, c
ommunity support, student questionnaire - "
How comfortable are you with ________?" before and after, a
necdotal capturing (pictures of parents and community members)

- lessons on Copyright in early stages to avoid problems

- Enduring Understanding as umbrella for project? - making a difference, students creating change

Next Steps:

- create a support package for staff: learning goals, success criteria samples, exemplars, technology support.
- discuss at next staff meeting - Tina to attend
