My movie

Character, Setting and Mood

Creating this movie made me realize that to find a characters identity markers you will need to study about their history and the environment they lived in, i showed my learing by giving the characters a darker skin tone as i knew that it was hot in Greece which meant that they were probably tanned. Through creating the mvie i also learned that to find a setting you will need to know where the story is being told from, i showed this in my movie by making a dark forest the setting for Lysander and Hermias escape because in the story Hermia and Lysadner said that they had to go through the woods which was hard to see in because it was dark, which helped me imagine that they were probably in a dark forest filled with trees. In my movie i decided to put a dramatic and emotional song as my music choice because it fit the the story as there was alot of drama in the story and because the story had some emotional scenes.

Core Competency

“I can represent my learning and tell how it connects to my experiences”, i know this because in the movie i showed this by explaining why i chose the settings and identity markers to represent my explanation.

“I take on roles and responsibilities in a group; I do my share”, i know this because in the movie i collaborated and contributed on my shares and responsibilities upon creating the movie, as i did my part of voice overs, picures and explaining.

“I can understand and share information about a topic of interest in a clear, organized way”, i know this because in the movie i showed my understanding of information in a clear and organized way, as i did everything according to the precdure.

“I work with others to achieve a goal”, i know this because through the creating the movie i worked with a partner in which he helped me accomplish finishing this movie.

About me

Well hey there, my name is Ali and I’m a 14-year-old male. Some words that would describe me are trustful, helpful, competitive, stubborn, and athletic as I play many sports like soccer, volleyball and handball. Some things that I need you to know about me are that I am obsessed and in love with music, as I listen to music when I study, when I go out, or when I play. my favourite music genre is indie and romance because I really enjoy the beats and lyrics under them. Another thing that I absolutely love, is space. I mean how could you not like space, it’s just so fascinating, and it’s always just so much fun wondering about other things that could be in space like if there is another species out there living just like us and wondering the same things as us. The thought of knowing that there are quintillion more plants out there in space just amazes me, like I just find it crazy. Some goals that I have set for myself are to always be the best I can be, to develop my time management skills, and to not be shy anymore, so that I can be able to communicate more easily with people. In my free time, I usually like to play video games and read books. some video games that I usually play are, “Valorant” and “Minecraft”, and book genres that I usually like to read are Romance, Mystery, and Manga. Some of my favourite genre books are, “The Fault in our Stars”, “The Scythe”, “Murder on the Orient Express”, and “Devils’ Line”.

My favorite website:

https://www.spotify.com/us/

My favourite website of all time is Spotify, because there are all types of music and artists on Spotify that I like listening to. I like listening to music because it helps me focus, it comforts me and it helps with distracting me from situations I try to escape.

My favorite video:

I chose this video because Lionel Messi is both my idol and my favourite soccer player. This video also inspires me, because it drives me to work harder on my soccer skills so that one day I could become a good soccer player just like Messi.

My favorite image:

road between trees photo – Free Brown Image on Unsplash

I chose this image because fall is my favourite season, and because all my life I have always liked and wanted to walk on a road that is filled with orange trees and leaves. This image is also very meaningful to me as my grandma used to always talk about how the last thing she wanted to do in the world was to jump in a field full of leaves.

My favorite quote:

‘”the way I see it, if you want the rainbow you, you gotta put up with the rain”- Dolly Parton. I chose this quote because I find it very meaningful and inspirational. After all, it helps me stay patient and it drives me to work harder in life, as it means that if you want happiness, success or whatever you searching for, you must first do what it requires to reach there, even if it may be something you don’t like.
