In the beginning 

This project was quite long and most of the time difficult. It all started with this silly book called the outsiders. In this post I’m going to tell you the hell it was to write and record a song plus read a book that I wouldn’t say was bad I necessarily didn’t like. First about what we did for the outsiders portion of this project.

When we started reading the outsiders we got 4 role sheets to do. These role sheets had different things to do on them like drawing a part from the 10 chapters or taking a passage and writing about it and why you chose it. Most of this part of the project was about worldview and your worldview but I didn’t really get it so I was just piecing it together bit by bit. I still don’t know what is the definition of worldview I haven’t gotten that far yet.

The long bit of the project.

About a quarter through the book and the project we got another assignment to do. Make made up lyrics to the song It’s the end of the world as we know it. This song required teamwork since we were in groups and we couldn’t have done it without our groups it was to big of a project. But honestly my groups lyrics were ……. Alright I mean they weren’t great but they were fine. We also used garage band to edit the song and add cool effects to some parts. Sadly there was a set track so we didn’t get to play any instruments which was the part I was looking forward to. Now on to the second part of the song making the video!

For the making of this video was pretty long siding on the fact that I wouldn’t send any photos until like a week before it was due but besides that it went pretty well. The song was 4 minutes long so each person had to give 20-30 photos I gave about 15 ish photos simply because I didn’t have any photos of myself but they had enough to cover me. Once we had all the photos one person had to edit the video and give it transitions and movement because without it it would just be a slide show over a song. The video needed collaboration, working together, and decision making but in the end we got there and made the video and here it is.

Back to the outsiders 

Nearing the end of this project was a very happy day for me because it lasted almost 3 months so yeah I was pretty happy. On one of the last days our teacher let us watch the movie the outsiders and we thought it was a fun couple of days watching a movie but I got hit hard when we had to make a venn diagram while we watched the movie which was a horror to me and some other people. It was about things that relate to me and relates to the outsiders so that was fine. But that was about it for the project it was way to long and I’m glad to be done with it.
