Project # 4: My Views On Femininity And Women
Project #4 definitely goes hand in hand with project #1. Why you ask? Well because Project #4 was a remix which basically means that we had to take one of our older papers and turn it into something new like a Youtube video or a Pinterest board. The options were endless. Although I did not gain any reading, writing, researching or literary practices and my views on femininity and women were the same as in project #1, I did end up gaining skills in critical analysis. I analyzed my project to see what different rhetorical devices I used in my video, which helped me gain skills in seeing rhetorical devices that other people use. My project #1 essay was about how I changed my view of what it means to be a woman and how my experiences shaped my
“story” of femininity, womanhood and gender roles. My ideas were reimagined by making a video about my experiences with pictures and music along with text. My OFT was that experiences can change one’s view on things. The background music is playing the entire time and there are words on slide or the words are put on top of pictures to make the video more powerful. I used juxtaposition to show my views of males and females with pictures. The images that incorporate text are only the powerful images. The audio rhetorical choice I made was have the karaoke version of Sorry by Justin Beiber from youtube.com play in the background and having the pictures go along with the music. The new idea I raised in my piece was showing that my opinion has evolved. I used really powerful pictures to show how self-obsessed I thought women were and then at the end showed how powerful and strong they are. I also used a lot more examples than I did in my essay to make my point come across better. This project is “me” because not only did I include some of my own personal pictures but I also used one of my favorite songs as the background music and my favorite font, American typewriter bold. WRA 140 is not just about the writing. Yes, there is a lot of writing, but there are a lot of other things you get to do and I have to say this was my most favorite project.
