Ways of Thinking (Creativity, Innovation, Critical Thinking, Problem Solving)
I was creative when I added tension to the script/film. I added a creaky door sound and a scream. I problem solved with the doll shadow and figured out that if I hold the doll a certain way my arm wouldn’t show in the camera view.
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 to write my script and I used scriptmag.com to help me add tension to my script.
Ways of Living in the World (Life & Career)
Reactions to the Final Version
After presenting the film, this is the comment I received:
Reece- “I like what you chose to add to the script to increase the tension.”
