Plot, Character, Setting and Mood
-Explain how you figured out what your Avatar would look like.
When I was reading the book, I imagined Scarlett as a “put together” girl, with long, thick dark hair, tan skin, and pretty looking. The book described her like this and it really put the imagine into my mind, so much so that it was like a movie in my head.
-How did you choose the plot points?
I chose my plot points by narrowing them down. Since a lot can happen in Caraval, I had to narrow down the plot points to the really important ones.
-Explain how you figured out the setting in your story. What information led you to choose the pictures you picked for your plot points?
Caraval changes settings a lot, but there was three main ones so far. The first one where Caraval started off was the isle of Trisdea, the next one was on the island where Caraval was taking place, but not yet inside Caraval. The last one is inside Caraval, since there are many different locations inside the game, I just made the entire setting Caraval.
-Explain what the word mood means and how/why you picked the song that you picked?
The mood of Caraval is unpredictable, action-filled and a little but creepy. Since Caraval is a game and sort of a circus, I felt the circus music was really fitting.
Core Competency Reflection
When I need to boost my mood or re-focus, I usually take a quick break before going back to work. if i feel really jumpy and unfocused, I would usually go on a quick walk around the complex or make myself some food to fill my stomach before refocusing my attention on the project.
I use evidence to make judgements or decisions as demonstrated in my “prediction” slide. I don’t know what will happen, but I pull evidence from other incidences in the book and use those to make a hypothesis.
An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when I was talking to a friend about the theme of the book since we’ve both read it and she told me it reminded her of another books she’s read, which is horror. I looked into the book and saw the similarities between that book and Caraval. I used her idea to help me with finding the theme, and music of my movie.
