Our Movie

Character, Setting and Mood

What did you learn about determining a character’s physical appearance? Explain how you figured out what your Avatar would look like.

I learned that to determine someone’s appearance you need to go off their personality. Puck seemed a lot like a nature boy. He also is known as a trickster in the play so that gave me the thought of a teenager. So we made him a young nature boy who works with the fairy’s and Oberon.

· What did you learn about determining the setting of a story? How did you apply this to choosing the images in your movie?

I learned that to determine the setting of the story you need to read through the lines well and determine the setting through what they say. Like in some of their lines if they are mentioning places like forests or they even say the name of the place they are in it can really help you determine the setting of the play. This helped me choose the right images for our movie by simply just going off of the actors lines and finding the image that best suited them.

· Explain what the word mood means in literature and movies. What mood did you decide on for your movie? Why did you pick the song that you picked?

The mood in movies is determined a lot by the song that is playing in the background. It simply just means the vibe of the movie. Like if the mood in the movie is sad and low it will play sad music and if the mood is angry or intense it might play intense or loud music. For our movie we chose a song for action. Our character had a lot of scenes that had intense action moments. These moments kept you on your toes and that is why we chose this song,

· Don’t forget a conclusion sentence (you can take one from your movie)!

Overall, this book felt very interesting to read. It has so many moments that would leave you completely stunned. As a group we would recommend this book to others and especially those who love stories with big changes in the story. This story shows how fast people’s opinions on things can change. As well as how life would be with things like love potions and other fictional items.​

Core Competency Reflection

When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I… I would leave the room to go get myself a nice drink of water and take a small walk. Then once I am back in the classroom I am fully refocused and ready to work.

Examples of where I communicate clearly and purposefully can be seen in… When I was communicating my Ideas for the conclusion sentence to my peers and making sure they understood the way I was going to write it so that they knew it would be a good concluding sentence.

I have valuable ideas to share about… and do so by… I tell my group members that I have an idea to help with the project. I make sure I have their full attention and explain my idea thoroughly so that they understand and like what I have in mind.
