12. Student & tutor responses Students liked viewing events from “real people’s lives” “It’s nice to be able to see the garments worn by the people of the day, rather than in a still image or hanging in a museum.” Some were inspired to make their own films as a way of exploring ideas about movement. A few were uncomfortable with archive films and not sure how to approach them as research material. A tutor commented: ‘a wonderful resource - the immediacy of non- fiction film is extraordinary.'
