In Korea, there were not many opportunities to do these activities because I mainly took theoretical classes. There was always a fixed answer, so I was afraid of getting it wrong. Therefore, it felt difficult to come up with an idea and say it.
However, I can fulfill many learning goals through this treatment assignment. I can analyze a movie narratologically and not only create but also expand an immersive branded experience based on my analysis. I didn't know that what I can acquire from this assignment, but now I know what is improtant things and what I acquired through this assignment. It's important to understand narratological basis, semiotic and hermeneutic cues of the movie in order to getting to the point of the movie and developing high concepts based on the movie. Also, it has begun to be fun to share each other's thoughts while doing this assignment since I did this treatment assignment.
I managed to utilize my photoshop and coding skill within this assignment. I was focusing on making website and all mock-ups except Instagram that Minsol made. I also made a video, which is about a game. I wanted to help people know what the game we made is and how to play it through the video. Actually, my tasks were not easy for me. I'd never used mock-ups when I was in Korea, and making a website was just my hobby. I didn't learn how to make a website professionally. However, thanks to this treatment assignment, my skills were developed. If I have some problems or questions about making a website, I asked about these problems to Salva. Salva sent me some codes that help me to solve my problems of the website. Also, I browsed to solve the problems and find out the answers about my questions. In making mock-ups case, I struggled to find mock-up files. Because as I said before, I'd never used mock-up files and never did anything related with that. However, thanks to Leonie, I could find and use various and beautiful mock-up files. Leonie recommended a fancy site that makes me find and download many mock-up files easily.
Although we have many problems and troubles in the process of the treatment assignment, the experiment made me developed. Especially, my skill of sharing ideas to other people and understanding of transmedia design was improved. I believe that I can prepare and do well if I have other transmedia production assignments. As I said before, I was afraid of asking questions or doing things wrong when I was in Korea. This was because there were few assignments that must be done in cooperation when I was in from elementary school to university, and most of them were tests that were right or wrong. However, I won't be afraid to ask people what I don't know and get help from people from now on. Also, I'm so proud of myself. Because I didn't give up, and did the best. I think that I broke up my limit while doing this treatment assignment.
Over the course of the project, a number of goals were reached. To better understand the context and, ultimately, integrate this knowledge into the theories, I focused on watching the movie Encanto from a more in-depth perspective during the research phase. I was able to see the movie from a wider range of perspectives thanks to June and our discussion of a variety of semiotics and negative capabilities. Additionally, we were able to create a hero's journey using the information and interpretations we gleaned from the movie.
In terms of tools, one of my goals for this semester is to be able to create visual content like video or website. But June was good at making website and we thought it is not efficient for this assignment. Therefore, June did make website and I focused on research, storytelling and getting source, seeing June make website and learning from it. So, I could understand a way to make website and I want to try to do it later.
As my role was to mainly take care of research, storytelling, I was able to greatly develop my creative thinking. And making mockup of instagram, as a first time, it took long time but I learned to design and tools like canva. Also, I could get confidence about trying this field. During making instagram mockup, I tried to use photoshop as well for editing images like cutting them as circle shape and deleting background of them. I thought it's very simple and easy task but it wasn't.
It was very interesting to get knowledge of editing photo and make whole design of instagram page. It was difficult for me to design because I usually don't use instagram so, I searched a lot of instagram pages and posts and noticed there are a lot of style and concepts of them. After searching, I could decide the concept of Julieta's account.
I was happy to get interest about tools like making website and editing photo and I want to learn more about them and make a website for the production process, using canva and photoshop as well.
