Microtheme & Multimodal Reflection



Overall, I really enjoyed this project. It made me have to use skills that I never had to use before. The multimodal project really stood out to me because it made me realize that you can use pretty much anything to get your point across. I feel like I did a pretty good job on my multimodal project. I choose a variety of atmospheric images that starts off with a clear sky which then progresses a dark sky with lightning. This expresses how I feel about lying. Also,  the microtheme was a very interesting project once you get the idea. I kind of struggled with the ending paragraph where we were required to close it up without solving the problem. I've done projects using iMovie but it was nothing like this! One thing I would say I forgot to do was add a works cited page at the end of my short film since the images weren't mine. I found my images on google images by searched different atmospheric scenes. I feel like this project helped me be more creative. When I first tried to find images and music for my film, I was very lost because I couldn't think of a creative theme. But when Dr. Kyburz mentioned using atmospheric images to set the mood that really interested me. I feel like it really got my point across. I used short simple words to also get my point across. I feel like those words looked great with the video. One thing I can perhaps change would be to either use different transitions to make it flow a little better and try seeing if I should put the text on top of the images rather than have an empty slide. I hope I get to do more projects that involve making videos. I will try to figure out how to post my film because I can't seem to be able to post it from iMovie.

  1. "it made me realize that you can use pretty much anything to get your point across." Yes! That's the point. Today, we have access to so many tools, including words ... but yes to that video you made!!

    Thanks for your thoughtful work, Lena!
