  1. What were your books? Did you enjoy / hate / not care (for) them?

We all read the same book “Whirligig,” and we all had similar feelings towards the book. Since we all had the same interest, we decided to spice up the podcast to make it seem that one hated it, one really enjoyed it, and one wanted to get it over with.

2. How did you feel about working with a group? Did you make the work equal? Was it more trouble than a benefit?

I think working with a group made the job a lot more fun and felt like less work than if you were to do the whole thing by yourself.

3. What was your takeaway from the project?

I learned it’s harder to think on the spot than it seems so we probably should have finished more of our script sooner to make the podcast longer and fill up more time than it ended up being.

4. How was the use of technology in this project? Who did what when it came to the tech elements?

 We ended up writing the script on a shared document and recording on my laptop while using the other ones for research purposes. We sent the videos that we liked best to my email so I could put the recordings together on iMovie.

Edward Scissorhands Storyboard

My Refection

I chose to do my comic on the scene where Edward gets jealous. The purpose of the scene was to have the happy town start to crack into what it really is. I think this is a very important part to the movie because it happens in the climax when the town starts to turn against Edward. You usually see Edward as a nice guy but just not very good at showing his emotions. So, this scene really stood out to me not only because of Edwards’s reaction but the film techniques. For example, in my interpretation, I added the scene where it dollies Edward down the hallway and does a pan to him standing in front of the mirror. I did so because it was personally my favorite effect throughout the whole movie. I think they done this for the cinematic element too draw your attention to what is going to happen next. This adaptation from film to visual novel taught me that there’s a lot of time and effort put into each scene, little things you don’t notice the first time unless you’re thinking about it.
