This week we finished up our multimodal media project. Everyone had their books finished so we focused on completing our slides notes, recording videos, creating the weebly page and writing the actual content. The biggest thing I learned was how to really bring all of our different pieces together. This project had many different aspects and mediums through which we were trying o convey our message. We wanted to fully capture the environment and the impact it had on us while we were reading, but we had to go about it in a different way. We didn't have two hundred pages of a story, we had to use visual keys and imagery and video as well as our words to get our point across. It is easier to involve the audience because it is so visual and interactive but the more difficult part is making everything work in unison to create that atmosphere. Since I was the wild card I tried to help out with everyone in different ways, I really committed to taking notes and talking through all of our decisions with my group. Learning not only how to make each of our different medias work together but also our different ideas. As we explored farther into our "Big Question" it helped me to relive the book and really remember the things I learned from it. Although it's pretty obvious that our point of reference affects out decisions, it can be easy to forget in daily conversations and observations. It's a good reminder for me to be aware of people's different experiences and how that will impact their view point and decisions. It is also interesting to look back onto my own life and the decisions I've made. We make think we know ourselves but reflecting on our actions can help us to understand ourselves even more.
