Going through the many pages of blog posts created by my fellow classmates, quite a few interesting posts I wanted to comment on. I decided to go to Miles‘ blog and further discuss how our lines of poetry meshed together since he commented on mine earlier in the week. His line revolved around people being  puppets with no characteristics to identify with, while mine was about people constantly putting on masks and pushing away the truth or their true self.

I later went to Benjamin‘s blog and found  the GIF he created for one of last week’s assignments and the tools he used to make it. I was suprised  that the GIF he created was just 11 frames and the quality was great as well. We both used GIMP to edit our GIFs, but he used VLC to grab images from his film while I used LICEcap to record the section of the film I used. I shared my method with him and decided to use VLC for future use when I need to create a GIF with a small amount of frames.

Ashlyn chose the same same digital story as I did, so I decided to compare my conclusion with hers. We came to the same conclusion, but she mentioned something that I didn’t about the video, the text. She talked about how few words in the video were able produce more meaning and also help understand the actions the creator of the video made.

I decided to check out Stephanie’s blog on Vonnegut’s model after she commented on mine. It was nice to see that she analyzed a Disney movie as well. Although, I was a bit surprised that she did not create some sort of visual representation of a Wreck-It-Ralph Vonnegut model, but she did give a well detailed explain of what it would have looked like.

Amanda’s  Louis  the Hedgehog story was really interesting because it managed to tell more than one story. Of course it told the story of Louis and the curiosity he had when he was in an unfamiliar setting. It also told the viewer the story of Amanda spending time with her hedgehog and what she felt during that time. I really enjoyed her story and it also helped decide what to do with mine a bit.

Throughout the week, I have only received two comments on my blog posts. Both of those posts are already linked within this post and they seem to have liked what I was doing. Stephanie did mention that I should have included a side-by-side comparison of my The Lion King model and Vonnegut’s model to see the similarities and differences and I really appreciate that because it would have help prove Vonnegut’s idea about how stories begin differently, but end similarly.
