Filming Process

In our class, we were required to write a script and then film a video that related to tutoring writing. We were split up into groups of three and given a time limit to begin the assignment. At first it was difficult to come up with a script that would not be the same topic as our other classmates but eventually we did. We decided to do three different scenes that would show future tutors how to deal with difficulties that they may one day encounter. The first one was Building Relationships, second was Body Language and the third was Cheerleading.
In the first scene, the tutor had to deal with a tutee that was behaving inappropriately towards her and how calm she was, instead of taking actions into her own hands. In the second scene, the tutor was to take action towards the mood of the tutee because she wasn't very attentive during the session. In the third scene, the tutee felt like the first tutor wasn't very honest towards her paper and had to ask to see another tutor because of the overly cheerleading that she was doing. After coming up with a script we rehearsed with enough time that I honestly believe the filming process went smooth without much error. We were all a little nervous at first but with the rehearsing time, it gave us a boost of confidence and we achieved our goal of filming without any difficulties.
Our goal in general was to have a script and video that will be helpful to future tutors in ENG220. Once the filming was complete, I think that our goal was met because each scene had solution to dealing with the problem presented.
