STORY SPINE REFLECTION



Reflect on the story spine assignment from yesterday. Copy your story spine in your response.

Did the exercise help you craft an interesting story synopsis? If or if not, why? What are two things that you learned from the exercise?

Once upon a time there was a sardine factory worker in the industrial city of Monterey. Every day she packed sardines into their cans and went home to her boiler room. She earned a very small wage and her only goal was to save up enough money to move out. With the small wage, she was unable to keep up with her monthly payments so she was constantly stuck in a never ending cycle of payments. One day, as she was on her way back to her home, she was raped by her landlord. Because of that, she was at such a low and depressed mental state, she did not want to get out of bed. As she was running in late, she found she had been replaced with another factory worker. Learning she was out of a job, she went out to search for another form of payment. Until finally, she found a drug dealer who offered her on many emotion-numbing drugs in replacement of work. Believing she was finally at her happy place, she took all of her final savings for moving out and overdosed on drugs.

It was a little difficult to think of a plot that would match this completely. I prefer to write with without a structure when it comes to creative writing. I learned to make short writings

LETTER TO YOURSELF

Look back at your experience over the last two years here at Film/Video Production. Reflect on what you've learned, accomplished, the friends you've made and compose a letter to yourself on the first day of class in the beginning class. Imagine that this letter couple be delivered to yourself on that day and he/she could read it. What advice would you give your past self? Would you tell them they are going to have a great experience? What would you warn them about? Dear Angela from the beginning of second semester,       Here is some advice before going into this class: don't let being the new student stop you from expressing your opinions. The people in this class are very open and welcoming. Don't be afraid of them. They probably won't judge you for having ideas. It's okay to be wrong. It's better to say something than say nothing. You know more than you think you may know. This class is going to be a lot of fun but also really stressful. Be prepare...

The Boom Microphone

Summarize 3 different key functions of a boom microphone that you picked up from this short video. What is one question you still have on how to operate a boom? Three different key functions I learned from this video: boom mics are good at picking up quality audio from different angles. It works best for closeup shots because the boom mic can be as close as it can be to the talent. It is also important for the mic to always be pointed at the subjects' mouth and not their general direction or at the top of their head.

FINAL EXPERIENCE WORDCLOUD

If you had to pick three things that you found the most valuable from this class experience, what would they be? What do you feel overall that this course has helped you prepare for? I think the group work was the most valuable because it helped me socially. I learned to act professionally at times were professionalism was most needed and I was able to stay calm and composed even when a group member was being immature and rude. Another thing I enjoyed was the class discussions and class work where we all created one thing. I liked the activity during the storytelling unit where we all passed around papers to create a story.
