The book I read was Killing Mr. Griffin and I really enjoyed this book, I thought it was very interesting and kept me wanting to read more.
I thought the work was spread out relatively even through each member and working with a group made the project a lot more fun to do. I definitely like group projects more then solo projects.
My takeaway from this project is to make sure I go into quite places when recording and make sure to fully plan out what I do when recording
How was the use of technology in this project? Who did what when it came to the tech elements? I liked the amount of technology involved in this project and April did most of the technology aspects and editing.
Tim burton in Edward Scissorhands, uses editing in order to focus on different thematic elements and create suspense and intensity. For example, when Edward, Jim and Kim were breaking into Jim’s house it would be constantly cutting making it look like everything was moving fast. It is also used in this scene to highlight important aspects, like when it cut to the door locking and then back to Edward looking really scared. The theme of this scene is that Edward will do whatever he thinks he can to impress Kim and he ends up being the one who gets in trouble even though he just wanted to help Kim, so sometimes you get blamed for things you didn’t do by yourself or just wanted to do to help someone else. Overall, Tim Burton did really well with this scene showing how Edward thinks and how much he cares for Kim but sometimes that backfires on him. The editing in this scene and movie makes the viewer feel more immersed into the movie and helps them understand how Edward feels as a character
Reflection On Using Storyboard That
I thought it was really easy to use and had a lot of good tools for making storyboards. It was easy to pick and simple to use. I learned how to work it relatively fast. I thought it had a decent utilization of the non paid version and I would definitely use it again. Overall a great software to use and I unexpectedly had fun using it.
This is my article using PowerPoint. It shows ways to have a positive digital footprint, how to use social media properly and using social media in a way that makes you happy My references are in the article.
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
I know that my digital footprint can have both positive and negative consequences, including private info being publicly accessible but I can also act mature and be a good role model so people follow my actions and in turn they will also act mature. In turn I adjust my actions by making sure my privacy settings are properly set and I don’t cyber bully or post any immature content. By never doing any online bullying doing any negative actions online and never supporting inappropriate content I make a positive difference to my peers. I think my experiences as a digital citizen, such as watching YouTube video’s influenced my choice of course/hobbies/ teams because I see how my idols act and it makes me want to do good and have fun in the same way they do. I try to do the best I can when being online with never spreading hate and supporting my favorite content creators.
My favorite moment has to be when we made the first mac and cheese. Although it wasn’t the best meal we made I had a great time making it. This moment happened in class and it was before the block switch. It was with my groupmates and I. The reason this moment was so memorable was because I made a funny mistake and some how was able to recover from it and it was so funny my groupmates and I laughed for so long about it. This moment was significant to me because I think me and my group got to connect a lot more over this situation. The mac and cheese was not the best thing we have made and my group agreed with me. We added to much jalapenos and it got to thick but it smelled really good.
