Shafer

I really liked Shafer's idea about interviewing literary figures and I think that could be incredibly versitile.  Both authors could be interviewed and characters (static and protagonist) because it would show different angles of the material- even static characters could give insight from an on-looker point-of-view.  I think incorporating what they learned from this exercise with a video project, they could  shoot the story, etc., as is, but shoot scenes from a different point-of-view than they read.  (Imagine how differnt The Outsiders would be from Bob Sheldon's P.O.V.)  I was trying to think if I ever did a project like this in school, but nothing came to mind.  I think the idea makes a great project but I'd be concered with the time and class size- I can't see myself trying to accomplish this with a big class, but maybe a smaller, AP class or club?  A way around that may be to have them story board, because that can be done in class or at home- which I still think would be very valuable to the main idea behind the project- understanding view points, angles, lighting, etc.
