Self Reflection Essay

I have always been afraid of writing but after this project I feel I have over come this fear. Putting my thoughts into words has always been a struggle for me, but throughout the course  I began to improve and now its become second nature. I found it much easier to form a general thesis, write you main point, and then writing your introduction and conclusion.

After watching Kenneth’s Branagh’s Film I knew what exactly I wanted to write about my paper. When watching his film I could instantly pick up the difference between the movie and the novel.  The intensity I felt when watching the the film was far more than what I had felt when reading the book. I knew I needed to not only write on how it was different but also why. In my original essay I touched on how the visual dynamics of film helped changed the theme but I had left out how the audio dynamic played a role as well. In the revised essay I made sure I added that as well as strengthening my introduction and conclusion.

A struggle I faced with writing this paper was describing the movie scenes. There was so much detail and so much going on at one describing it all would just taken up to much space. It was difficult to decipher what parts had to stay and what had to go.  I found interesting the small details that go into film that the director adds. These details can easily overlooked by the audience. For example it took me three times of watching Caroline’s death scene before I noticed that the camera was acting as the eyes of someone right in the scene. Once I discovered this I looked at Waldmen’s death scene again and noticed it there as well.

If i had more time and space I would of no just go over how the film differers from the book but I would add how it differers from hypertext. I would of compared all the differences with the Branagh’s film Mary Shelly’s Frankenstein, Mary Shelly’s novel Frankenstein, and Shelly Jackson’s hypertext Patchwork Girl.
