In the second session, our faculty asked us to show the assignments we were supposed to complete in the previous class. I had both, the name placard as well as the spinner with me as I had done it. We were also supposed to send in our contact details to one of the student who volunteered for it.
However, many hadn't comepled these three tasks and hence the four of us who had done all three tasks were to decide what was to be done with the others. We unanimously decided that the others be sent outside the class and can come back inside once they've completed all the tasks.
Our faculty then continued the session with the four of us. We started with learnig about what a zoetrope is. We watched a video of it as well as made one practically in the class to understand how to go about making one as we were supposed to make one afterwards individually before the next class.
We then continued our discussion about film from where we left off in the last class. We learnt that films can be used to potray various things or can be a record of a no. of things such as a story, history, time, space, philosophy, psychology, etc. We then discussed what all films can and can not do. Like films can entertain, can influence, can change perceptions or ideologies, can move you emotionally, however, they cannot provide a first hand experience.
Also, though films can influence minds, however, they cannot corrupt minds, it's completely upon individuals and how they take things shown in a film.
The class adjourned after this discussion and with our faculty asking us to write blogs for all the past as well as the upcoming sessions.
This was a class different from any other as I never had to decide someone's fate because they didn't complete the assigned tasks. I learnt how important it is to work as a team and ensure that everyone's on the same page because if even one person is non cooperative, it could waste everyone's efforts and time.
