I am almost done with my tragic creation. It is a slideshow with pictures and quotes. I spent about five hours on it today, from finding famous quotes about tragedy, images representing those quotes and recording background music to creating the slideshow. The biggest challenge for me was to find the images that match the quotes. I tried my best and I wish it would come along well. After I put the quotes and the images together, I tried different effects. I learned how to convert m4a file into mp3 file and how to set continuous music to the powerpoint.
Here are some of the quotes I found:
1. “Life's tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late”
-Benjamin Franklin
2. "Tragedy, sadness, loneliness and despair taught me that life is really a beautiful thing; if it wasn't I wouldn't be able to recognize that anything was wrong"
-Greg Evans
3. "The essence of a tragedy, or even of a serious play, is the spiritual awakening, or regeneration, of the hero."
-Maxwell Anderson
4. "Life is a dream for the wise, a game for the fool, a comedy for the rich, a tragedy for the poor."
-Sholom Aleichem
Dearest Biyun,
ReplyDeleteWow! Your tragic creation sounds like it will be quite amazing. Especially considering the amount of time you spent on it, 5 hours! I can't wait to watch it, I know all of your new skills will shine through this creation. I'm excited to see everyone's on Tuesday, but now especially yours!
Love,
Kaylen
Hey Biyun, I really like the sound of your project I am really interested in seeing the final product. I really like the idea of having the quotes and the images corresponding with each other I think that it will be a really good visual representation all together. One of the quotes that I liked the best was the Benjamin Franklin quote. I can agree with him as well I think that sometimes we don't understand something life or anything in general until we are old and reflect on what we had done.
