My 20% Reflection
For my 20% project me and my partner, Zack created a graphic novel that included the one, the only, Ranson Brothers. It is based on the series ‘’Slapshot’’ if you don’t know what slapshot is about hockey and in the real movie the stars are the hanson Brothers but in our story it is The Ranson Brothers these characters add comical laughter to the sport of hockey! I steps that I enjoyed of making this graphic novel would be when Zack and I had to take the picture to make this novel a graphic novel. The way I would try and make this project better would be to just make a normal novel and have one picture for each page instead of speech bubbles for every picture. There was many things we had to decide on while we made this graphic novel some of the decision are when we were putting the writing and the pictures we had taken and putting them together in the software called ‘’Comic Life.’’ We had to consider our time that we had to finish this project in. Overall I had a great time doing this project and it was a great learning experience!

i liked how you used your own pictures in the graphic novel instead of creating characters on the computer or drawing them, it made the story more interesting and a little bit more funny also.
ReplyDeletei really like how you got to the point right away in this blog post and how you're book turned out was just lovely
ReplyDeleteEric, you did a nice job of giving an overview of the project, as well as reflecting on some of the changes that you would make. I would have to disagree with one of the points that you made, or would make a suggestion. I don't think that your novel would necessarily have been better as a standard novel with one photo at the bottom. I loved the idea of the graphic novel, and maybe if you were to do it in the future, there would be a few things you could do differently in order to ensure that you accurately capture all of the necessary emotion, action, etc that you were hoping to convey. I think the novel is a safe option, but I give you credit for trying the graphic novel. If nothing else, it gives you a bit of insight into just how difficult it is to capture so many ideas in one photograph. A little more detail in general in your blog post would be helpful, as would a more creative and appealing title, and some work on conventions (spelling, punctuation, etc.). Good job overall, however. MrB
