In my 25 years working in still photography and motion pictures and 13 years teaching it to high school students, I wish I'd had something this concise, comprensible and well-illustrated from which I could learn, and teach. Of course, modern students would NEVER accept this. It's in black and white. They would fall asleep or go to the bathroom en masse.
@@TeachinTV If your teaching in a school I think its really annoying that students will take photography as an easy class, and you end up with a lot of students who dont care. But they wouldnt care either way. I think that students who do care might be skeptical of a film so old, afraid that its outdated, but not just bored because its black and white. I know high schoolers are a pain, Im in high school, and I have a lot of respect for people who can handle teaching them. But I sat down and watched this whole video and found it interesting, partly because I saw your comment saying how informative it is. If students in the past would have accepted a this video I think modern ones would too. I think a lot of people underestimate young people, its always been that way. Id think that students today are ultimately the same as students 50 years ago.
@@SmallJeanGenie1972 your comment is well-thought-out and articulate. In this day of high-resolution digital imaging and cinematography, young people have such a high standard that they simply won't watch anything that is less than perfect. CGI makes it easy. Trust me, showing today's students movies made in the silent era is a total waste of time. They sleep through Charlie Chaplin and D.W. Griffith.
@@TeachinTV I cant say Ive watched any silent movies, but I do enjoy various black and white TV shows. I appreciate the costumes specifically that they used to differentiate characters in black and white, and it might be kinda silly, but it makes me happy that my family still has a crt as our primary TV, so I can watch the shows as they would have been seen when they were new.
Great for explaining how a camera works even today, all you have to do is substitute the work "Sensor" for the word "film".

I don't think you give "modern students" enough credit
@@SmallJeanGenie1972 maybe YOU should try teaching students today monochromatically. Good luck!
