21st Century Skills
Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
I was creative and innovative by creating a prop for our film. I used two chairs and a blanket to make a couch. This was one of the main props for the film. This was my first time being a screenwriter and did not know how to write a script, especially using rhythm. I used the Celtx Help Center to help me decide what components I needed to write the script.
Ways of Working (Communication & Collaboration)
I was a communicator and collaborator during our group decisions. We discussed what we wanted to do in the film and how to solve problems.
Tools for Working (Info & Media Literacy)
I used Celtx and its Help Center with writing my script and using rhythm. I looked at other scripts from my peers and from professionals to get an idea of what I needed in my script.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
I learned how to be organized, a problem solver, and a researcher. I used research to give me an example of how to write a script. I also used our organized shot list to write the script. This benefited my life and career skills.
Reactions to the Final Version
I got the feedback that I wrote “good dialogue on script between the mom and the person,” by Reese. This shows that I accomplished part of my goal of writing good transitions.
Self-Evaluation of Final Version
Simple – Our logline was “person fighting time to clean a room before mom gets home”, which is the core of our film’s message.
Unexpected – Our film was unexpected at the end when the mom called back and said she actually wouldn’t be back home for a bit longer.
Emotional – Our film was emotional because it is relatable to other people who also get stressed out easily.
Stories – Our film told a story that is relatable to me and the audience.
What I Learned and Problems I Solved
I problem solved by finding two chairs and a blanket. I put them together to make a couch. This was vital as the setting was in a home.
