Multimodal Microtheme

Writing the microtheme was a little more tricky than I had originally thought. I was fortunate to have a really clear idea pop into my head that gave me the inspiration to write the microtheme quickly. However, once I had my microtheme revised in class, I realized that it needed to be more of an open ended question rather than voicing my opinion on the subject. With this critique I think I went in the correct direction from there. Once we got to the multimodal microtheme was when this project got a lot more interesting for me. (Here is my multimodal)

I felt that getting to make a creative version of what I had already written was a lot more rewarding and interesting. I had never really made a video like this before, and it was fun to explore and play around with the content to see what I could do. I was able to take an idea, a problem, that is very common today and put it into a creative form that everyone could understand. I think this drew up a hobby or interest that I never knew I had with making videos or just little projects like this one. With this project I really enjoyed how every person got different messages and ideas from the images shown or the clips shown in each multimodal presented in class. It was cool to see the intended message from the authot/creator, and then see how everyone else responded and what messages they got as they watched. I think this project was really interesting and it is something I can see the value in knowing how to do because it can be applied in real life situations and be very effective!
