Today in class, we worked on our genre presentation within our groups. Our group worked on our anime presentation. When we finished our presentations, Mr. Rivers read them to us one by one, told us to be looking at content and structure in the real life genres in highschool that each group made. We took notes on the many things that made up the structure and content i our notes. Then we shared our notes with the rest of the class and discussed them. Each scenario was unique because it used certain elements that made them different from the rest. For example, there were many anime genres, but each had a different idea that made them unique. This is what we focused on mostly in class and yesterday. We looked at all of the custom scenarios and we broke them down in the content and the structure of each. A lot of people did really well with their presentations and gave really good high school equivalents of their genre. Lots of people had very good stories from their genres and they also had very good examples of what the genre that they had would look like in a film. For example, the people who had the action film genre did a very good job explaining what their action film made up and how we can look at it. We can look at this in real life when we look at films in real life. The films have certain elements in them that allow us to see which films fit which genre in real life. After we presented our slides, Mr. Rivers, explained that what we learned over the two days is very useful to us in the real world because when we look at film, we can see how different films have different genres and how the content of them help us find out the genre. After he told us about this, the bell rang and we left class.
