Science documentary video slides to enhance education and communication
Abstract
Documentary production can convey powerful messages using a combination of authentic science and reinforcing video imagery. Conventional documentary production contains too much information for many viewers to follow; hence many powerful points may be lost. But documentary productions that are re-edited into short video sequences and made available through web based video servers allow the teacher/viewer to access the material as video slides. Each video slide contains one critical discussion segment of the larger documentary. A teacher/viewer can review the documentary one segment at a time in a class room, public forum, or in the comfort of home. The sequential presentation of the video slides allows the viewer to best absorb the documentary message. The website environment provides space for additional questions and discussion to enhance the video message.
