Filiming with Kids

My film class at Plaza de la Raza, where I am working with inner-city kids, is working out really well. The kids in the class are really into it which makes working with them not only easy but fun. I have to admit that at the beginning of the quarter I was nervous about this class. However, as the classes have progressed and as we are getting into the shooting part of the project, I'm no longer nervous. I have been taking pictures of the groups during their rehersals and will be getting more. By the end of the quarter I will have a sound slide of the class and I will probably post our video (after the class viewing) on my blog. I will post some of the pictures from the class by this weekend.

Idea!

I think for my Sound-slide project I'm going to take pictures of my class that deals with teaching inner-city kids on how to make a movie. I enjoy the class itself very much but I would also like to document the process that we go through and how these kids get more and more into the project. I think it will be good to get some of the kids reactions of the class. In the end, I think that it will be a very interesting project.
