Extra Blog April

April has slowly came to an end and that means that senior presentations are just around the corner! For the month of April I have primarily been working with my mentor on simple task. Most of the month of   April I have just been helping him with small things like making copies or just by simply editing a video for the show. If I'm not editing I am primarily pulling images from the internet so that they can be shown during the show. Overall this month has been pretty calm, but this upcoming month will be pretty hectic and once May is over graduation is just around the corner yay!

(d) Explain what you completed.   

For my independent component two I spent thirty hours evaluating television shows. This consisted of me watching four to five episodes of a television show and seeing what the production team did in order to create emotion. What I was also looking for was whether or not the show had a certain style that was showed evident throughout the couple of episodes.

INTERPRETIVE

For my work as I mentioned previously, I watched four to five episodes of a couple of shows and evaluated them. As for evaluation I would see how each show tries to create emotion, I also was trying to see what the common goal of the plot was. This component was also very helpful in the fact that I was able to really play close attention and look at everything in detail as oppose to for enjoyment. My mentor had always mentioned this to me beforehand as well, he would say that when watching a show try to look at everything that is occurring in a scene because each thing plays a significant role and us there for a reason. One of the things he would have me do as well is watch shows to look at detail not for the fun of it which is what we usually do. This is why I chose to do this for my independent component because it  allows you to see the different things that are occurring in a scene as oppose to just watching it as a whole.

APPLIED

This component played a really significant part in answering my essential question. When I was watching the different TV shows I was able to see the different ways that each TV show portrayed emotion. This would usually depend on the plot of the show. When watching all of
