Yearbook Reflection

Our story was about: A kid who had a nightmare about forgetting to buy a yearbook with only one possible way of obtaining it. He then wakes up and realizes he needs to pre order a yearbook.

The idea for the story: Came from Jacob and I as we tossed different ideas back and forth on what to do and finally settled on a humorous plot.

Percentage of the story concept I was responsible for: About 50%

The Protagonist in the story: Is the kid who forgot to order a yearbook.

The Antagonist in the story: Is Mr.Klein who wouldn't let the kid buy a late yearbook.

The Type of Conflict in the story is: External Conflict

The Climax of the story is when: Mr.Klein turns into a yearbook, making the kid wake up and realize he needs to buy a yearbook.

The Story resolves itself when: The kid wakes up and pre-orders a yearbook from Mr.Klein

The resolution of the story is: Comic because the kid realized that he made a mistake and that it could be solved after a revelation through dream.

Some elements of exposition include: Rising Action, climax, falling action, resolution

To adjust to no spoken dialogue: We used speech bubbles with on screen text.

The content in the dialogue had to do with the story and humor.

The entire video was made in iMovie and had to be constructed frame by frame.

The Song in our video was: Only time

The Band: Enya

The song was not featured in any other known movies.

It was suggested by myself.

It was chosen because it conveyed a sense of sorrow and despair as the kid couldn't think of what to do after realizing he hadn't pre-ordered a yearbook.

We included many sound effects in our video.

They were used to show shock, pleasure, dissapointment, all around emotions.

My involvement in the sound effects would be about 60%.

2 things I would have done different would add more sound, and sync it up better.

My partner was: Jacob Borntreger

Both my partner and I shared the responsibilities of creating many frames for the animation by hand and putting it together in iMovie with sound effects.

I felt in sync with my partner throughout the entire project.

Both our experience with iMovie is little to none, though we picked up quite quick.

All of the partnership worked well, we communicated and worked together flawlessly to create a great video.
