Paper long abstract:

This presentation will introduce the educational practices for filmmaking. At my institute, students have been conducting interview and recording with video to the academic researchers, namely their teachers. Students who major in media- information science have to interview professors of intentionally different special fields from their majors: like, biochemistry, dermatology, dietetics, materials engineering, clinical psychology, or sociology of area studies. They could get interested in the different fields through the practice, and it could be also opportunity for the researchers to review their basis through the process of answering the interviews. Because the students are unprofessional, they could sometimes show unprecedented ideas or be motivated to pursue further interest. Through the opportunity of studying filmmaking, students could play a part in the science communication.
