What were your books? Did you enjoy / hate / not care (for) them? The book I chose was Long Way Down. The book was really short and could easily forget after summer break.
How did you feel about working with a group? Did you make the work equal? Was it more trouble than a benefit? I think our the podcast went well and we worked well with each other. Overall we finished our work early and we all divided the work evenly.
What was your takeaway from the project?
Every book has a connection with each other. They have a lot more in common than you think.
4. How was the use of technology in this project? Who did what when it came to the tech elements?
Xavier was the one who handled the technology. We used our phones to recorded our podcast without the mic so you it may sound different with a lot of background noises mostly because of the wind.
Tim Burton, in Edward Scissorhands, used Lighting, especially in this scene to set the mood. For example, we see it used in a lot of scenes in the beginning as it was first introduced to us when Peg went up to Edwards mansion. His residence was seen as dark, eerie and mysterious with light only coming in a few of his windows. We also see it later in the movie during the robbery where the flashlight was the only source of light and it gave the movie a thrilling feeling. I also notice the movie used quite a lot of non-diegetic sounds to give away what happens in the upcoming scenes. The sounds were their happy, cheerful and comedic or creepy, dark and suspenseful. Examples for this was the Haircut scene in beginning and later on towards the end during Jim’s attempt to kill Edward. They also used a lot if Crane shots to showcase the town’s colourful houses and stores. They sometimes shot the scene in Edward point of view. Of course we see two shots in the film with most of them mainly focused on our protagonist p, Edward, and his love interest, Kim.
This adaptation from film to visual novel taught me that you can’t interpret a film into comic and give it justice. A lot of scenes look better when the actors are doing their part and are acting. I’ve also learned how important camera movements and angles are in movies and how important they are to help add flavour and look pleasing . It also taught me that it must’ve taken a lot of time to do an 8 second scene.
I chose to do my Infographic on Canva. It gives you a ton of overwhelming templates and designs to choose from. My project focuses on ways to maintain a positive digital footprint. I tried to focus my infographic on showing the do’s and don’ts of digital footprints. Through this, I further educated myself in technology and properly learned new things that I was not very familiar with.
Personal/Social Competency Reflection
My online support network is helpful to me because they really help me get my mind off things and they expose me on important issues and on top of that they provide me with entertainment. Some of the ways I work to build and maintain online relationships are properly educating my self on what’s right and wrong and just by being aware of what’s going on around my surroundings. Some of my preferred strategies for maintaining a healthy, balanced online presence include keeping the good and bad opinions to myself and using the accounts that I own to address important topics.
My name is Mary Hannah. While my first name is Mary, I go by my middle name, Hannah. I moved to Canada a year ago. Fun fact, actually a really really sad fact, I can’t swim. During quarantine, I became interested in watching anime. My favourite series to watch on Netflix is an anime called the disastrous life of saiki k. I prefer to express myself though communication. words my brothers would describe me are lazy, unmotivated, self-reliant and exceptional. I also tend keep a lot of things to myself. I want to improve my knowledge on a lot of things this year I am looking forward to a fun, interesting and safe school year.
During quarantine I got myself to watch anime. I specifically liked “Attack on Titan” This site has help me get to know more about each characters and overall it just interesting to get to know them.
