Today we started class talking about due dates and requirements for upcoming assignments.
First, if you were not here on Friday or Monday or due to all of the snow days last week,
schedule yourself for another day. It’s okay to double up with someone else on the same day.
Next, our Be Real Blog for marking period 2 is due 12/19. It is a journalistic review using your
notes. It should be more complex than the marking period 1 blog. Lastly we talked about our
Narratives revolving around Ready Player One, today specifically we chose our groups of 1-3
people. Next we started notes with the objective of: Evaluating cinematic choices through my
own choices of diction. We defined evaluate (determining the value of something, specifically
choices; also noting if the specific choice is good or bad) and diction (word choice). We also
noted that word choice can be explicit (direct) or implicit (suggested). We then pointed out
some words in example sentences making the sentence positive or negative. With diction try
to be either positive or negative to stress your point, try to avoid being neutral. Towards the end
of class we watched the movie trailer for Ready Player One twice to catch the causes and effects
and the choices that were made in the trailer. Someone noticed, halfway through the trailer
the music stops from Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory to Tom
Sawyer by Rush. The songs serve as allusions to the Oasis being your imagination and the lyrics
in Tom Sawyer perfectly describing Wade. It also shows a change in tone in the trailer. Another
choice someone pointed out was showing the chasing, introducing characters, showing climate
change, and the stacks. This provided the effect of drawing and catching people's attention to
the movie without revealing or spoiling anything in the movie.
