Coming Along

For our project we are doing "how to play Bracken tag" and making a video for it. In the previous classes we discussed what we would do and how we would do it. We got everything figured out and wrote a script, not really to abide by but just as a guideline. Last night we taped the video and everything went really well. One of the group members was behind the camera while the other 3 were in the spotlight. It was a really fun and interesting experience. We did a lot of different shots and when it's all done and edited it should have some really cool effects. So far, everything has been going really smoothly and we are getting the job done in a timely manner. We recorded the voice of one of the group members as the narrator telling what the rules of the game are, which plays throughout the video. I'm really excited to see the end results, because a couple of the group members are really good with editing videos and adding special effects to really make the video good. The only main thing we have left to do is edit and then we are practically done.

The beginning to an end

The beginning and end of a story is the most important part. The beginning should be set up so that it grabs your attention and makes you interested in what's to come in the rest of the story. However the beginning is phrased there should always be a thesis statement. The ending could do many different things such as: sum up the whole story in several ways, go back to what was said in the beginning, or somehow end it in a way so the reader feels a certain emotion about the story and maybe make them think deeper about related things. Throughout the entire story, not just the beginning and end, you should guide the reader along so they know exactly what is being talked about. Titles can be a good source to guide the reader because it usually has something to do with the story, the thesis statement is the key element because it says what is going to be said in that specific paragraph, and topic sentences state the subject of the paragraph. In my opinion the beginning and end are what make or break the story because when I read the beginning it should be interesting to me or else I'm not going to read the rest. The ending should sum up the whole story so it all makes sense or evoke certain emotions from me that keep me thinking.
