Presentation Day

So, today was the day my group had to present out movie poster on the tragic hero journey.

We did our poster on this amazing movie called Se7en. It brought every emotion mankind has from the viewer. The poster creation was awesome in the end with all the symbolism and creative little things we added (fingerprints and oh so much blood). When we were actually creating the poster, I kept thinking back to the scene in this movie where the still-alive-decaying-man was laying in his bead with all the air fresheners. It gives me the shivers every time I imagine it; it really was an ingeniously done movie. Everything to get the viewer crawling in their chair was thrown into this movie, and the amazing hubris and pride the main character has is overwhelming! The shear amount of cocky mistakes made in this video could kill a person (or 6 people; pun completely intended).

I also had to write an essay on Cause and Effect/Unity of Action. This essay was hard, time consuming, and when you read this Mrs. Cawlfield, I hope you're happy you caused so much blood and tears to be expelled. In the end I am happy we did this poster project because it let us have some relaxing time to talk and joke with our groups, while at the same time having made an extravagant, knowledge filled thing to hang on the wall. I honestly do feel that I understand the material of what makes a tragic hero's journey after these last few days of poster making and talking about the movie in depth with my groupies. I also learned what the 7 deadly sins of Christianity are, which is pretty interesting in of itself. All in all, this last week of work has been great fun and I learned a ton about film and basically just story's in general.
