Practical Study of Movie Production Program Using Cineliteracy

Abstract

The devices for video production have recently become more compact and simplified. School students have more opportunities to make short movies for educational purposes than before. The educational effects obtained from cineliteracy are divided into two types: strategic understanding of movies (reading the screen) and practical skill development based on movie production (writing the screen). In this practice, we had a filmmaking program for citizens with the cooperation of the university and the community. Students seeking a career in the film business and media-related courses could learn how to solve problems, do collaborative learning and have regional cooperation in their informal learning environment off-campus. Throughout the program, they gained communication skills, requirements for a degree and work-related-experiences. As a result, they have obtained rich practical knowledge.
