  1. A reflection on all ...

    The variety in reflections truly does reflect (for lack of a better word) the nature of the poems chosen. Perhaps the only criticism I could make is some place too great a reliance on using images to describe the literal meaning of the poem and not nearly enough time using text to explain the metaphorical meanings behind the compositions.

    In truth, this is probably because of the parameters of the task. Next time, we'll have a stricter structure. Maybe something like (at minimum) two minutes, ten images and 200 words of YOUR own text? Just an idea ...

    Well Done as a whole. A good finish to what has been a busy term.

    > The best thing about this reflection is the meaningful photos.
    >One aspect that it was most lacking is the time on each photo. There was not enough time to read the texts.
    >I would extend the time on the parts with texts.

  4. I AM NOT YOURS.
    Alex Spirko's refelection was just great. He captured everything the poem stood for. It showed a man who had his heart broken by the girl he loved. He shouldnt worry though, there's plenty of fish in the sea

  5. A good video i have viewed todays was "Touched by an Angel", by Scott.

    The best thing about the reflection is the reviewing of each sentence in the photos which fitted in with the poems definitions.

    The one aspect that the video lacked was the quality information that was depicted the images. It could have used more defined images and depiction of what its trying to tell us via the poem.

    The one thing that I would include in the video is more informating images that have depict the poem, what its about, and how its trying to tell or inform us.

    Good Video
    4/5

  7. I Will review Matthews photostory About the Song Wedding Dress-tae

    The best thing about the reflection was the meaning behind the pictures and text

    The reflection lacked eny multiculturalism as all people in the photos were Asian

    I would make the reflection last 2 minutes and include Photos of other Cultured people, and Subliminal Messaging

  8. Touched by an angel
    I have chosen to write my reflection on Scott’s poem because it is truly one of the best reflections on a poem I have seen. It was about love and how it sets you free.
    The best thing about Scott’s reflection was the last picture that he put on his video. For me it was the best thing because it is realistic and true.
    The one aspect of reflection that was most lacking was probably the music Scott should have put a more romantic song.
    The one thing I would include in Scott’s reflection to improve it is the song My Heart Will Go On because it is more emotional and romantic.

  9. Jesse Nasir`s Reflection
    Billie Jean by Michael Jackson
    The best thing about the reflection was the song
    One aspect of the reflection that was lacking was not a big variety of pictures
    The one thing i would include in the reflection to improve it was a larger variety of pictures and more emotion

  10. josh's photostory

    the best thing about the poem was how you've portrayed the message within the poem in a very creating and somewhat ambiguous way

    the message was sometimes lost amongst the cartoons

    I would try to make the reflection more related to the actual poem

  11. Billie Gean By Michael Jackson, Jesse Nasir

    The best thing about the reflection was the choice of the song and artist.

    The aspect that the reflection was lacking was the innovation of the creator to depict the song and include images that do not actually show Michael Jackson but other imaged that relate to the actual words in the song.

    The one thing that I would include in this reflection would be clever images that relate to the words of the song and which shoe the emotions of the song.

  12. Jon's Reflecion

    What was the best thing abut the reflection?

    The best thing about John'sreflection was the pictures, I thought that they go well with the words of the poem.

    What was the one aspect of the poem that ws the most lacking?

    There wasn't any aspect of the poem that was lacking but probably the quality of some pictures.The pictures are all good, they fit very well, but only the quality.

    What would be one thing you would include in the reflection to improve it?

    The one thing I would include in the reflection of Jon's is to change and add pictures thats suit better with the reflection

  13. Andrews reflection
    1) The best thing about the reflection was how it shows the imagination is the limit.
    2) The one aspect of the reflection that was most lacking was the differences of pictures, because they were all about polar bears.’
    3) One thing that i would include in the reflection to improve it is put in different pictures
