For my class film, I made little to no contributions at all. In our class we went with our big master mind. Mr. Victor Santos was chosen to represent our class with his film. It was actually pretty good too. He brought some ideas that maybe some people would not have thought of.
I think that the message and tone that this film might make is a sense of double salvation in a way. The point of the film is not to directly save the teacher but rather save through a different path. The movie is going to portray maybe a new theme to use.
FOR THE REST OF MY POST I WILL DO IT ON ESTER'S VIDEO

In our class movie, the teacher is going to be the one being "saved". In the movie the kids are going to be the ones saving this teacher. In my own point of view, I can see a movie like this in which maybe the setting is like some beat up school, but with students who don't neccesarily get the opportunity that other kids in "better" schools get. The teacher can be one of the teachers who goes into work with no kind of excitement or motivation.
I see in our movie that we will have scenes where the main character, either the teachers, or one of the main students involved in the transformation of the teacher, will have their own personal scenes. Without the class, at home, work, whatever it might be. We will show their own personal struggles. We are going to show that even if someone seems like they have the perfect lives, in someone else's point of view, they still do go through their own personal struggles and they manage to work through them.
Another scene I see happening is a moment in which the teacher and the students, either as a whole or individually, open up to each other and help each other out with each other's personal struggles. The teacher will be against it originally, but the students slowly, but surely, get to the teacher. They get through a dramatic scene in which they build a friendship, which isnt usually found in a student and teacher, and it expands throughout the entire class, and school over time.

3. Compare and contrast the school in the film with your experience of SOF. What are crucial similarities and differences? What should SOF change in light of the insights you've gained from this movie?
I feel like the way the students act in this movie can kind of relate to how SOF students act, but in the smallest ways possible. We might act this way with a real annoying subtitute, which is rare. The students in SOF seem to have limits which they know they cannot pass, they have respect for teachers and for the most part students around them. I think Soulymane is actually a really good student, just stuck in what for him might be somewhat of a loophole because he wants to be the guy thats the tough guy and the class clown.
In SOF, we are for the most part lacking teachers who actually care. There's honestly like one teacher and thats sad, but then again thats just how it is in all the movies we watch right? The other teachers just show up and collect their paychecks, and sometimes pretend that they care. But they never really do. I've gotten into big trouble early in the school year and there was a teacher who I actually felt comfortable telling my problems to and I was told if I needed help I knew what to do. It was a good feeling because I haven't had a teacher who actually cared in quite some time. Sixth grade to be exact. I feel like me a Soulymane can actually kind of relate in a way, like sometimes we are both too shallow in a way, to just do our work and not care what people think.
While watching the movie I noticed that maybe the relationship between the teacher and student was maybe TOO close, whether it was in a good or bad way. In SOF teachers do try to have things one sided and make it so that they can call us stuff or do things that we cant back. But I highly doubt any teacher in our school has gone as far as calling students skanks. And if they were to do it, they wouldnt confront them about it in front of all their classmates. I think that the teachers having student reps in the meetings is pointless and only started controversy.
If there's one thing the students are doing well is sticking together. They defend each other even though they all get at each other. The teacher on the other hand, I really do not understand how he can go from one side to the other and keep switching up as if it is nothing. For instance, one second he is arguing with the student, the next he is defending them behind closed doors.
The last scene gives a glimpse of how the SOF world is, where teachers get along with each other and pretend to care.
