HOW DO YOU PREPARE A FILM DISUSSION?

In this short document we
will omit all reference to how to preside in a meeting. You will have to look
for this information in another specific manual already developed for
campaigns.

Methodology to use in the
didactic application of a film forum

Four phases:

1. Preparation Beforehand

-        
Define the objective of the film to be seen, and
define the theme of the picture.

-        
Collect information on the shooting of the film:
Director, actors, objectives, possible problems, etc.

-        
View the movie beforehand and collect the most
significant information.

-        
Work out a reflection strategy about the content of
the film.

2.  Before
viewing the film (AV material in form of film, film, CD rom, DVD)

-        
The technical conditions should be as optimum as
possible.

-        
Have available the necessary technical material and
make sure it is functioning so as to avoid misfortunes the last minute.

3.   The Showing

-        
Present the movie.

-        
The person leading the activity and introducing the
film must project an attitude of interest about seeing it along with the rest.

-        
Encourage people to just pay attention.

4.   
After the Viewing

-       IMMEDIATELY after
showing the film (with the first credits), the presenter/ moderator must go to
the front to begin the discussion.

The following points should be kept in mind but are
not inflexible. They can be followed, omitted or modified.

-       Gather first
impressions.

-        
Evaluate and synthesize the previous contributions to
generate a more or less clear idea of the situation of the group regarding the
showing of the film.

-        
Introduce the reflection strategy mentioned in the
preparation phase if no definite topics of concerns arise from the film.

-        
At the end of the discussion/interaction, as an
evangelistic Bible-centered movement, we must end with a reflection that
relates the theme of the film with the gospel.

-        
Avoid lengthening the discussion period if there are
no further contributions.
