The Role of Collaboration and Feedback in Advancing Student Learning in Media Literacy and Video Production

Abstract

Teaching advanced video production is an art that requires great sensitivity to the process of providing feedback that helps students to learn and grow. Some students experience difficulty in developing narrative sequences or cause-and-effect strings of motion picture sequences. But when students learn to work collaboratively through the revision process as part of an advanced video production course in high school, they tend to develop higher expectations for the quality of their academic work and apply a more rigorous framework of analysis to the media messages they encounter, including fiction motion pictures (such as feature films or television shows), documentary films or non-fiction series, story-based interactive games, and short-form platforms such as commercials or music videos.
