Ms. Otten's class and all the 5th graders are exploring various ways of making small movies. We began this unit with exploring how movies can be made frame by frame using minute movements. Ms. Otten class, which I see twice a week created a paper scroll this week in which the "character" will stand and the background rolls creating the affect of a person walking through a scene. These two are fairly elementary but in doing them children begin to generate ideas of various other possibilities within this medium. If they show excitement about this at home perhaps it's time to let them work with a digital camera and a tripod and allow them to make their own movies.
