This English course has allowed me to rediscover my writing potential and my writing brain. After, the first year of the pandemic I had truly forgotten just about everything I had learned about writing, writing a true paper with a purpose. That skill I once had, had been stowed away into the back of my brain, left them closed and locked up, just to gather dust. This course gave my writing brain a complete remodel after rediscovering it at first. I had learned multiple key strategies in writing an analytical paper. Yet, before that, I had developed genuine analytical skills. Skills developed after rewatching the same Superbowl commercial so many times. Whilst developing such skills I was in my discourse group speaking on what we as an entire class have seen. In addition, I was able to learn a vernacular language in commercial shootings, example stand-ins are used to testing what the camera shot may look like. Lastly, whilst analyzing my movie scene for my paper repeatedly I was able to learn dialects that cameramen used for specific camera shots.
