My Photo Essay Reflection By Maiya K.
Making a Photo Essay is like building a house… It takes hard work, determination, skill, and knowledge.
I worked on a nonfiction genre. My audience for this piece was my G.T. Family. My mentor texts were from others in G.T reading class and from a High School Student’s Photo Essay about war.
The idea for my Photo Essay came from a picture of the rainforest. Although I didn’t use that photo, it still inspired me. Also, I found quotes and those inspired me. I conducted research from my ocean slides by going deep into my brain (not literally!), and remembering a movie I saw about the ocean. For the other slides I basically used my background knowledge. For my images, I either searched Google Images or clipart. For music, I used http://www.freeplaymusic.com.
I developed many technology skills while I worked on this project. Time working on project Knowledge on how to save images as jpg’s Knowledge on how to use Photo Story 3 Knowledge of how to make transitions on Photo Story 3 Knowledge on how to import pictures on Knowledge on how to put music on Photo Story 3
This project increased my knowledge of self. I learned that I am a perfectionist. And sometimes I just need to let it go.
After looking back at my Photo Essay I decided that I needed to slow down and take my time. I also felt that I need to put less words on a page. I am proud of how the different pieces of music I used tied together. I faced the challenge of putting too many words on each slide, and therefore have to revise my slides. On my next project I would like to slow down and make sure I don’t put too many words on a slide.
