Amongst reading all the submissions I realized a lot of things that made me think about how I perceived writing. Everyone has a different perception and background which has a major influence on how you think or what you choose to write about: the creative process. Some submissions weren’t my favorite as they contained ideas …

I am a little behind since I have been out for a week, but as I work on my trailer I actually find it a little challenging to find certain GIFs that match the meaning of something in my plot, and I feel the person on the other side watching the trailer might find it …

First and foremost, I absolutely LOVED watching all the trailers and reading the visual statements to gain insight into the creators’ thought process. I admire the creativity and organizational process that went into creating each composition. The topics that each person chose and their decision-making in the clips they included, shed light on what issues …

After completing my video, I thought my video was going to be the best one in class. I was very proud of my work. But then after looking at other people’s videos, I realized that my video was just average. It was a really humbling experience. Special shoutout to Yaseen’s trailer for putting me in …

This was quite an experience, reading through what all my classmates wrote helped me see more into who they are and the awesome ideas that they have. There were many different stories, some with an underlying purpose with politics, while others were purely for enjoyment. However, regardless, one was able to integrate the research that …

Core assignment 3 was very different to the previous two assignments that we have tackled in class. I was excited to see what others would come up for their project. For example, Michaella’s “The Trafficking Ring” I thought the images used within the trailer were very well thought out. From the buying and selling of …

Okay, I made and posted mine within like 15-20 min because I was on a big time crunch, and it was really surface-level appreciation of everybody’s material. Almost everyone wrote the full amount, and I somehow swayed through the word limit till Seth made it 250, which sucks. I read a few others, and people …

There was a lot of great creativity that came out of this core assignment. I did not expect to enjoy a writing class as much as I did. This assignment was a breath of fresh air and made me get out of my comfort zone and be creative for once. Seeing all my peer’s assignments …

I’ve read all of the posts and they were all amazing. Each one of them was unique in its own way, some were emotionally charged and others were informative. I’ve been avoiding Jorge’s post, “Different Stages of Grief”, since he talks about a sensitive subject: losing someone dear. For this one, I really had to …

Blog 5 Reflection
After reading my peers’ ideas, I was impressed with what movie ideas everyone came up with. There was a diverse amount of ideas with many factors that made me reflect upon mine and think about what I could have added. When Yaseen provided context to his trailer in reference to his plot, I thought that …

What I enjoyed most about core assignment 3 was getting to see how everyone’s blog posts and assignments evolved into this final trailer. A lot of us expanded on the topic we originally wrote about such as criminal justice reform and the stresses of life. Others broaden their topics further and explore other subcategories of …

Assignment 3 was executed very well by everyone in the class. What I especially liked, in general, was the diversity in the genre of the mini-movies they have created. Some of these included fantasy (science fiction), drama, crime/action, romance and comedy, and many others. In addition, creativity was on point with everyone as they were …

Compare to the other two assignments, I really enjoy participating in this one. This assignment is not only easy to write but also interesting and easier to read. After reading other classmate’s remixes, I was very surprised by their creativity and imagination. Trailer is also an interesting part of this assignment. It is easier to …

Core assignment #3 was perhaps one of the very few times that I actually was curious to read -or rather, see- what my peers had done. While our videos were all short, they were still a much better portrayal of what went on in our heads because of the presence of elements such as stylistic …

I enjoyed reading the assignment of others. Everyone wrote clearly. Especially from assignment 3, I was able to get everyone’s imagination, and some were amazing. Overall, I think everybody did a nice job and it was more fun to read than I expected. The videos of everyone’s were also really nice. I was shocked at …
