Reflection Statement - Representations of War
English reflection statement – Representations of War
My PowerPoint collage is about my understanding of how war is represented. It explores the idea of how I believe that war is a negative connotation in society. Throughout my PowerPoint I have used images that relate well to the 3 pieces of texts that I decided to represent; The Send Off, The Charge of the Light Brigade and Saving Private Ryan.
In my first slide I designed a title page stating the title of my PowerPoint and wrote my name underneath. I used the colours black and red to symbolize the colours that I associate with war. Red being used for passion, blood and love. Black being used for danger, fear and death. I used a large font (Franklin Gothic Medium, size 54) to make the title stand out clearly and a smaller font size of 22 for my name so that the title “Representations of War” was the salient image in this slide.
For my second slide I have used hyperlinks to make it easier to navigate to each of my 3 slides. I wrote at the top of the slide “Select one:” so that the person viewing my PowerPoint knows what to do, because otherwise it may look a little confusing and the viewer may not know what to do. I included 3 hyperlinks to each of my texts, a button for The Send Off, The Charge of the Light Brigade and Saving Private. By clicking on one of these it will take you straight to that slide. In the bottom of each of my slides I included a home button, which navigates you back to the main screen to choose another slide. Or you could just click the arrows on the keyboard to go to the next slide.
My third slide is where I introduce my prescribed text, The Send Off. I included a black and white collage of photos that are associated with the poem the send off. I also used 3 quotes from the poem and then used pictures that went with those quotes. I have used the colours black, red and white as they all contrast nicely against each other. The bright red writing works well against the black and
