My favorite movies have a lot of my favorite actors and actresses. They really captivate me and makes me feel as though I am in the movie. I know, sounds corny but I like movies that really bring a lot of emotion. I think the emotions in the acting (enthusiasm, anger, sadness, etc.) bring a movie to life. In addition, the music (soundtrack) of the movie also really draws me. I think when the right type of music is played to fit the specific scene of a movie, it really enhances the scene. Also, when movies have good scenery, are shot at different locations, and have cool effects, it just makes the movie that much better.
On the other hand, educational videos don't really have much of this. I mean there are really cool videos, such as Planet Earth or The Magic School Bus that can keep viewers entertained and educate them. However educational videos shot in a classroom or with just some professor speaking can get extremely boring. Usually, the speaker will have no emotion and the whole lesson just sounds like a huge monotonous lecture. Also, there aren't really any effects or music because that would take away from the main message trying to be presented. The scenery is usually a chalkboard or white board in the background, and the most action you get is the speaker writing things on them. Unless the lecture is REALLY interesting, most times viewers have a hard time paying attention.
In comparing these two types of videos, I think it will help us in making our own videos. I can't say that our video will be anything like those in the movie theaters, that cost billions of dollars to create. However, we will try our best not to make it into some boring lecture educational video. I think by adding music, having enthusiasm, and showing interesting things, kids will both enjoy it and learn from it.
