10-second review: “If the foundation of writing is word>clause>text, then the foundation of video is frame>image> sequence. Both composing in print and composing with video are recursive.
Title: “Writing with Visual Images: Examining the Video composition Processes of High School Students.” DL Bruce. Research in the Teaching of English (May 2009), 426-450.
Summary: It’s well known what the writing process is. The author observed students making videos to try to create a model for video composition. “The stages of producing a video tend to be described as following the sequential order of pre-production, production, and post-production.”
Quote: “Students tended to begin with visual conceptualization, where they envisioned what their video might look like.”
Quote: This is not to say that video is superior to print—far from it, as they can have different roles.”
Note: “Although the possibilities and applications of video are widening, the focus of standardized testing in academic settings makes it difficult to invest the classroom time that video projects and training require.”
Comment: The preceding quote is another warning about the limitations imposed by standardized testing on the English curriculum. RayS.
