HW 49

I believe my class' teacher/student savior video was a good POV more towards both sides of the classroom. There's the teacher, who is trying to do his job and try to contain control of the classroom, then theres the students, whp not only dont care about school, but have some reasons behind it (such as what was seen in the movie "Freedom Writers").

My role was that of the cameraman for the second half of the movie. While behind the camera, i was able to get an outsider's perspective on the whole teacher and student relationship in the classroom. Also, in the first half of the movie, I was one of the main characters. My role was the victim of bullying, which gave me an inside look of what a student in that POV goes through, both physically and mentally, which can connect to a reason as to why some students may dislike school, thus needing a savior in the teacher.

Overall, i feel like once again, our movie was a great way to show yet another view on what the status is in a general classroom. Although not ALL classes were as bad as we were acting for the video, is still gives oppurtuntity to think and discuss about the deeper depths on what school is about, what the POVs are, etc.

Although it was a good video, I think it would be more beneficial for all outside viewers to get more of a POV from the teacher, only because most movies out concentrate more on fixing the students. How about if STUDENTS help TEACHERS?
