Overall the project was not bad but one exception was trying to send it over Canvas. I soon gave up over the endeavor as I have spent 30 mins pondering and trying multiple ways of doing so. I have found the process to be a bit similar to that of the textual analysis though the nature and the subject of both matters really do separate these two projects in very different categories. I did find the skill to provide audio during the presentation to be quite useful.
Halloween costume Analysis
- The criteria is just the halloween costumes that are the most traditional l in a sense for a go to costume.
- I believe that they all rather belong in the category as they are all solid choices though I do wish there was a Star Wars costume.
- Yes I am in agreement with their choice for number one.
- The narrator stated how that the witch was like the poster child for halloween, which also helps with the criteria listed in the beginning.
- New number one, well the witch is pretty solid though for my own personal bias a star wars characters, how wouldn’t wanna intimidate people while wearing a mask.
- There is definitely bias for my opinion but as for the witch its quite a solid choice.
Video planning
- I have never even been trusted with making a video before.
- I will give imovie a try
- I really do not know maybe like a presentation slide show type of thing though I may opt for a different type of style. Subject still debated.
- I feel time maybe a factor though how I present it may be a major factor
- Probably make sure I get enough information to back my analysis
Video Analysis
Video 1
- So this is for well people who have watched the movie though especially for those who had watched the trilogy or probably the whole series.
- The tone unlike the movie takes the flaws of the movie and puts them in a more light hearted funny tone.
- The visual style is a cartoonish style why also being rather true to the movie designs.
- The audio also well staying a bit true to the movie is mixed up to well probably avoid copyright but to help with the comedy value of the video.
Video 2
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PYVuiDgCNho
- As always for someone who had watched the movie
- The tone while about a movie where basically almost everyone dies is well rather funny as how everything is despited is silly.
- The visual definitely help make this blood and gore movie a more silly and laughable video to watch.
- The audio also helps the video of while somewhat like the movie it is put in a silly tone
Video 3
- For people who had watched the movie and also good if you seen the first one and who also wonders about the plot holes if you are into that sort of thing.
- The tone overall is well light hearted, maybe a bit dark when Rocket bit the dust in one scene but even then it is rather funny
- The visual and audio while based somewhat on the movie each has it own cartoonish funny style giving way to that one should watch this really for laughs.
-
Overall analysis
- I found that the intro the each video has a similar intro of the respective films which adds to further the comedy of the videos
- The visual and audio which each different for the movie they are the subject of all follow a rather funny cartoonish tone.
- The HISHE brand is rather obvious but also differ between video and how is it down is rather amusing.
- The context of the videos usual follows along the line of including the largest plot holes of the movies which if there are many may make the video a bit longer even though not all the plot holes are said. That being said if there are a very more things to make fun of they may include it even if it does cross into other movies.
Analysis Reflection
Sometimes you just have to sit back and observe.
Textual Analysis Reflection Post
I felt as if I did a nice job on the textual analysis essay. The wording may have needed some small tweaking though over all grammar did not seem to be much of a problem. Perhaps maybe one area that may have needed some extra information was about the author views that was rather “low-key” inserted into an article that was supposedly to be a rather political free and factual information piece. Perhaps maybe I should have put that as the first topic that was to be discussed regarding ethos though to be fair the author did do a fair job when it came t the actual topic about the tuition hike and the various benefits and disadvantages that have come about such action. Also the thesis and the conclusion would maybe benefit from being more fleshed out or perhaps to be rewritten. I would say the quotes were fairly well integrated with none being dropped. The feedback I got back about my initial draft was that I mostly needed to put a bit more emphasis on how the author built up credibility in her article before using some questionable quotes and also incorporating ethos in it. Both which I have done so overall I believe the essay is of fair quality.
Feedback comments for rhetorical analysis
The feedback I got is mostly positive in way thought I would just have to expand on the idea of the sue of pathos or ethos in my analysis.
Planning textual rhetorical Analysis
Well I came in with two full pages of writing and well it is not final but I have gotten good responses on it. Some minor changes here and there and maybe a little rework but it should be done in time to turn in.
Article response.
Opinion
My response to Nathan Rott’s article is well that it is interesting. The author presented the article in a way that while it is very informational it has a informal way about it with the various quotes that helped grabbed my attention more than it would if there was few or no quotes at all. I was quite actually captivated by the article which is something I am usually not unless it retains to a few subjects that I enjoy. therefore I believe did a very good job on how he presented the subject and the various quotes from Eric Sheptock who was the main focus of the article.
Mini-Analysis
I feel as if the author had mostly presented the article in a logos matter. Throughout the article the author had presented a lot of facts or reasoning. For example Eric Sheptock had opportunities to not be homeless the article stated that “He wouldn’t move out of the downtown D.C. shelter where he slept for the past two years if it would make him a less effective voice for change.” (Rott 89). This quote leans toward the logic side of things of why should he change the way he live if that would affect his impact on his voice for the homeless. The article has several more examples of such logic being applied making this article of how theEric Sheptock is using his voice to help others who are homeless and his daily routine.
Summary reflection
I am going be blunt is that my summary was not the best. Its rather hard to remember when i actually had written a summary before. Usually my papers are well either DBQs or some paper that has a point i need to prove or answer, not just a basic summary. To few in details and in a rushed form. I realize this afterward and now I am just awaiting the disappointment of my professor. The structure would definitely need to be worked on along with several key components. I did not help that I had to find the article again after forgetting to favorite it. Next time the paper will be more orderly structured and more professional. A more detailed bullet point summary before the actual summary may also greatly help. Also transitions will need some working on along with my thesis as well they have not really improved since my days of writing DBQs for APUSH.
