Bubenzer of Education, Health, and Human Services iii POWERS, JENNIFER A., Ph.D., December 2007 TEACHING, LEADERSHIP, AND CURICULUM STUDIES “DESIGNING” IN THE 21ST CENTURY ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS CLASSROOM: PROCESSES AND INFLUENCES IN CREATING MULTIMODAL VIDEO NARRATIVES (179 pp.) Co-Directors of Dissertation: Nancy McCracken, Ph.D. David Bruce, Ph.D. This grounded theory study, set in the context of two English Language Arts classrooms, sought to explore the processes and influences involved in the reading and writing (Designing) activities of two groups of students using video as the storytelling medium. The research questions guiding this study were: 1. What processes do students use to Design with video text? 2. What influences students’ decision-making while Designing video texts? These questions were developed to help explore implications of students reading and composing video in an English Language Arts classroom, and what bearing those implications may have on the future of the English Language Arts curriculum. Through several data sources, including concurrent think-aloud protocols, interviews, and the students’ video projects, this study demonstrated that the two case study groups were influenced heavily by their knowledge of genre and narrative structure in piecing together video narratives from pre-existing video footage. This study also demonstrated that the groups’ processes of Designing were different in many ways, but shared the characteristics of being iterative and demonstrating attention to creating clarity of meaning for the audience. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I began my journey to my Ph.D. back in 1998, when I made the decision to return to school to become a teacher. It has been a rewarding journey; working with students has proved to be my true vocation and joy. I have had the privilege to meet people who have inspired my journey along the way—not least, Dr. Nancy McCracken, who became my advisor and helped me to become the best teacher I could be, and Dr. David Bruce, with whom I could share a love of all things “techie” and from whom I learned valuable lessons about living and teaching in higher education. I would like to thank my committee members, David Dalton, Ph.D., and Bill Kist, Ph.D. David was an enormous influence in helping me plan a future “multimodal” version of this dissertation, for which I am extremely grateful. Bill’s insights into multiliteracies helped me frame this dissertation, and when I met Bill at a convention for NCTE back in 2005, he graciously agreed to help me through this process. His advice has been invaluable. I need to thank the other doctoral students who have joined me on this journey for their support and friendship along the way. I would especially like to thank my good friends David Loe and Sonya Wisdom. Little did we know, back when we met at our first doctoral level class in 2003, how important we would be to each other in this process. Their constant presence, literal and figurative, has sustained me through many difficult times. iv I would also like to thank my friends Mary Toepfer, Deb Debenedictus, and Judy Sewell for the generous gift of their time and insights on my work, which they helped make better. Finally, I need to acknowledge that I would never have been able to survive this process without my parents and my sister. Their patience during the last year has been incredible to experience, and their interest, support, and love have made the journey an easier one. v DEDICATION This dissertation is dedicated to my students, past and present. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ..............................................................................................iv DEDICATION...............................................................................................................vi CHAPTER I.

  • TRANSCRIPT Editing, Graphics and B Roll, Oh
    TRANSCRIPT Editing, Graphics and B Roll, Oh My! You’ve entered the deep dark tunnel of creating a new thing…you can’t see the light of day… Some of my colleagues can tell you that I am NOT pleasant to be around when I am in the creative video-making tunnel and I feel like none of the footage I have is working the way I want it to, and I can’t seem to fix even the tiniest thing, and I’m convinced all of my work is garbage and it’s never going to work out right and… WOW. Okay deep breaths. I think it’s time to step away from the expensive equipment and go have a piece of cake…I’ll be back… Editing, for me at least, is the hardest, but also most creatively fulfilling part of the video-making process. I have such a love/hate relationship with editing because its where I start to see all the things I messed up in the planning and filming process. But it’s ALSO where - when I let it - my creativity pulls me in directions that are BETTER than I planned. Most of my best videos were okay/mediocre in the planning and filming stages, but became something special during the editing process. So, how the heck do you do it? There are lots of ways to edit, many different styles, formats and techniques you can learn. But for me at least, it comes down to being playful and open to the creative process. This is the time to release your curious and playful inner child.
