My Movie

Plot, Character, Setting and Mood

I guessed what my character looked like. The only info I had about his appearance was on the front cover of the book, besides the security officials, who are just dressed as security.

I chose my plot points by finding the best and most impactful parts of the story and using them in the presentation.

I figured out the story’s setting while reading it when I was on the rising action, the setting is significant because it provides the reader with information and context on where the story takes place and the time it’s set in.

The word ‘mood’ can have many meanings. For one, it can mean the feeling of a movie. The mood of the movie. Which could be the theme. It may have a depressing mood if it’s a dark and slow movie. I chose the music ‘Rumble’ that I got from Bensound. I feel that it really matches the mood of the book, it being about fighting for rights and going against security for justice.

Core Competency Reflection

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus I take a little 5-minute break before heading back to work.
I appreciate feedback on my finished work and prefer it to come in the form of a short sentence or a rubric.
Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are to seeing other people’s ideas and taking inspiration from them.
