Reflections on the unit & Evaluation on the Essay

Reflection:

I had not problems of difficulties during this unit because it was very much the same and simple in the work we were doing in class. We mainly talk about the elements in films, which are Mise-en scene, cinematography, editing and sound. We did different activities like analysing films like Moulin Rouge, The Aviator and short scenes from Aliens and Shanghai Noon. What the activities involved was using one (sometimes it was all or the teacher told you what to use) or more elements are writing a paragraph in explaining the way the element is used through the film. You just learn them as you good, sometimes in the begging you have to ask again what Mise-en scene or cinematography involves but when you keep asking you soon well understand the meanings of the elements. Research of the genres helped because you can see the difference between each genre based movie, with the use of the elements. This is because of how each film is represented in the genre by feeling different emotions towards what the film is trying to get across.

Evaluation on Essay:

I’m not that satisfied with my final results because I thought that I didn’t try harder enough with what I was trying to say in my sentence structure. I thought I did do ok by overall my thoughts have changed to the results that I got. Yes I would have changed most things in my essay like the sentences and the structure of my essay. I believe that when I take a longer time on it I tend to get a bad mark so I try not to take longer time on something like an essay because it tends to turn something that I worked hard on into something really pathetic. I would change the second movie that I choose because the scene that I choose wasn’t that good and I would change the length of the essay so I would have time to check over it because it was so long and I didn’t have time to check over it or let someone else check it. Overall I’m disappointed in myself, I let myself down in what my work should’ve been, but that’s the way it goes, I just have to live with it.
