The movie making process has been very similar to the writing process. Both processes involve brainstorming, drafting, and editing. The aspect of collaboration is what seems to separates these two processes. The move making process is much more dependent on collaboration than the writing process. In the writing process a person can do their own brainstorming and drafting; an individual may collaborate for the editing portion, but it is not always necessary or as rigid as the collaboration that is needed for the movie process. In the movie process individuals must constantly communicate in order to work toward a common goal. While the amount of collaboration needed for either process could be switched, it would be more difficult to make a movie without collaboration. Even though collaboration can make a process more complex, it does offer several advantages: viewpoints, skills, and new insight.
I think it makes sense to use low-bridge technologies for projects like this one and for education in general. While Juhasz experience with multimedia/video making was unbeneficial to her and her students, I believe this was an extreme case. Low-bridge technologies not only help students learn about multimedia, but help them understand technologies that are a part of our culture through personal experience with it.
