in class writing 12/17

1. What was your vision as a director/creator for this project?

My vision for this project was to make a story that related to the original story, however, I wanted to have a main character that would attract teenagers because we tend to lack reading. I also wanted to incorporate a life lesson on the story too. That's something that you will see at the end of the story.

2. What elements of the original story did you maintain in your project?

I basically maintained the whole setup of the original story. I had a story that a person was told something, he loved it, but it wasn't what he really thought it was. However, I did change up the people and other elements related to that.

3. What did you change about the original story in your project?

I changed up the characters, the location, and the overall topic of the story. I also changed up the theme. The original story was like a drama, sad theme. However, my story was drama and learning theme.

4. What is the twist or climax of your adaptation?

The boy wakes up as the famous rapper, DaBaby.

5. What is the strongest part of your project so far?

I feel like every aspect of my story was very strong, and it showed that I put a lot of thought and effot in this project.

6. What is the weakest part of your project so far?

I feel confident that I did not have any weak parts of my story except for the process. It took me a while to even get this idea for the story.

7. How has this project helped you learn about how stories work?

This project has helped me learn about story work because I got to learn about the "story hill". The story hill was a great way to figure out the setup for my story.

8. How has this project helped you learn how theater works?

This project has helped me learn about theater works in ways of learning how to work iMovie. I had a lot of struggle in working the app, but I leaned and now I have better production skills.

I can't wait to see the final drafts! Be sure that they are uploaded to Youtube and the links are posted on your blogs.
