In the Heat of the Night: My Movie

My Movie

Character, Setting, and Mood

While doing this project, I had learnt how to use setting and mood to amplify our project. We were able to learn about our characters further in-depth. For our song we picked a sadder, slower song, due to his death in the first chapter. A slower song would also be a lot easier to talk through. Overall, this project taught me a lot about mood, setting, and how I can use it to create better projects in the future.

Core Competency Reflection

I show others that I truly value their contributions by carefully listening to what they have to say and then adding on to their opinions. Even if an opinion isn’t great it’s still good to provide some feedback.

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas was when Valeria and I were making the character avatars, I was able to built upon a few of her idea’s, and the end product of all the avatars was exciting.

I appreciate feedback on my work and prefer it comes in the form of feedback that shows all my flaws. I’d rather work on all of my flaws than redo what is already good.

If there is disagreement within the group, I find it helpful to think about several more ideas before making a solid conclusion.

Meal Planning Assignment

Problem

Problem: A family of four needs a meal plan for the weekdays. We must plan around their schedule and decide what the family can cook that still fits their schedule.

  • Family of 4
  • Needs a meal plan for the weekdays
  • Must have original and ‘traditional’ recipes
  • Must fit their schedule
  • Must fit their cooking aptitudes
  • Must decide who cooks (That day)

Solution

Justification

Our group was able to justify why our plan worked well because we took the time to create a word document that documented all the food, portions, recipes, information, and answers for part 1 of this assignment. For a start, we specified what meals were going to be made on the day, and then we stated what time dinner had to start to fit the events that were in their schedule, and finally, we stated whether there were going to be leftovers for lunch to avoid extra food that they wouldn’t want.

An important part of making sure we had a good, working schedule, was to make sure we had good portions. We could easily almost half the time if we brought the portion sizes down, which led to them being able to cook larger meals or use the time more effectively. Another thing we could have done was make a meal and double portions if it only made 2 servings.

We spent a lot of time thoroughly going through all our information. Making sure we had the correct information, making sure our portions are correct, and our efficient use of time has led to me believing that our plan will work well.

Collaboration Reflection

Our group was able to collaborate very well during the course of our project. We stored our information in a word document, that was shared between the 3 of us. This was my first time I have ever shared a word document, because usually I would just prefer to use a google doc for sharing. As for our work, we didn’t really split it between us. We mainly just worked together because it worked for the 3 of us. Even though we didn’t split the work, we still got our work done quick and efficiently. I myself found a recipe and I helped my group with writing the information on the days.

About Me

Hey there, my name is Brandon. I’m 14 years old and I enjoy playing tennis and I enjoy science. I also enjoy playing games like CS:GO and Hades. My friends would describe me as enthusiastic, fun, “Lime Green”, and “Light Olive Green”. My friends also say I laugh at jokes that aren’t funny (which is true). Shows I enjoy consist of Attack on Titan, Kimi No Na Wa (Your Name), and Jujutsu Kaisen. I have a younger sister named Caylee. She is 9 and goes to elementary school. My favourite foods consist of fried rice, fried rice, fried rice, and fried rice. I like the fried rice from Hons, as it tastes very good compared to many other institutions of food. My grandma also makes very good fried rice. My philosophy is that if the fried rice isn’t dryer than the face of mars, then it’s fine.

Image that Inspires me

This image heavily inspires me because it shows a lot about our society in a nutshell. The way that the sharks are positioned to be hulk’s fodder is a vital component of how this image displays such deep emotion. This image displays a deep story about how people (or sharks) are going through a lot, but with the power of friendship (2 sharks), it shows how the super sharks can still stand a chance against the powerful hulk. I think that we need more images like these on the internet so that we can inspire those around the globe.

I linked the steam website because I personally use steam a lot to play my videogames. I enjoy playing games on my laptop. I first discovered steam 3 years ago when I wanted to play Terraria on my laptop. Steam is essentially one of the internets biggest online game store/game launcher.

Video

I put the opening to Jujutsu Kaisen because I think it’s a cool song and I really like the show.
