Building Characters

I am currently writing a short story and this is the character I came up with: 

This is how I imagined my character looking like, I happened to find a similar image to what I had in mind in my head on Pinterest.  



Character’s Name: Ludmilla Kovacevic

Who is your character Physically?

Ludmilla is a strong headed 17-year-old girl, living in in the 1800s who has a hard time following the rules they had set for women and young girls back then. A lot of people saying she’s just like her mother who was a princess that was thrown out of her family palace for disobeying the palace rules and was also known to be stubborn and free-spirited. Often feeling misunderstood and lonely with her mother dying when she was just a little girl, she often wonders how life would be if she was around, and how it would feel like to be “free” without any rules and people trying to decide her day to day life.

 

What do they look like? Physically?

She was tall, skinny with her body shaped like an hourglass. Her eyes were emerald green, they sparkled like the universe. She had golden brown skin, and her hair was a darker shade of brown almost black. Her wild curls curled in random directions framing her face and making her hair look big and messy. She wore a white embroidered top with puffed shoulders, long beige skirt and her favorite brown boots that were scruffy at the front.

  

 

What is your character doing?

Ludmilla is about to be sent to her uncle’s house to get married off after her father looses a lot of money, her uncle ends up persuading him to marry off his two youngest daughters to a prince. Ludmilla tries to find anyway possible to not let this happen. As she sits in the carriage, she looks out and thinks of ways to escape. She thinks of faking a serious illness and jumping out of the carriage and sprinting.

  

 

What is your character feeling?

At first Ludmilla feels this big sense of anger. 7 of her sisters were allowed to get married to whoever and whenever they wanted. Ludmilla always thought that she would have the same faith as her sisters, but this wasn’t the case. Even though Ludmilla feels like her father is being extremely unfair. She later sees a different view of things. after knowing her father’s situation later on she sorts of feels guilty in a way. On one hand she wants to rebel and make thinks harder for her family, and on the other hand she just wants to make her father happy.

Looking Back

This week we are coming down to the final steps in our research project. Because the week before was such a busy week, we ended up leaving everything last minute. This meant we had to put in a lot of work, time, and effort to get this project finished properly.  Our task this week was to get the video completed and then uploaded on youtube so that we can present it to the class in the following week. We only had our research and video down so we still needed to: Find a location to record our video Edit the video Upload the finishing product onto youtube And we had just one week. It was very possible to do so however, the problem was that none of us knew how to edit or upload a video onto youtube. This week consisted of mostly just trying to figure things out (which was very stressful). Location The first step was asking one of our tutors to borrow a camera from our school, once we had our camera it was time to begin our recording process. We started by gathering ideas and looking a...

Starting Out

This week we are introducing project blogs. My class and I have been asked to create a group project following a social issue of our choice, and to document our journey through this process. For this project, I am working with Aiden Kelly, Rhys Mc Carthy, and Roibeard Mac Cumascaigh from my group 3 Introduction to Digital Media class.  We have been asked to cover the topic of misinformation and disinformation in the media. I personally think that this is a very interesting topic seeing as it's one of those subjects that is commonly discussed yet rarely understood.  This subject goes into dept on the misleading, confusing and false information in the media that we had to face for decades now, even before the internet was introduced to the world. It talks about the differences between misinformation vs disinformation, the different ways and methods used by the media and government to convince the minds of its passive audience and it also discusses the dangers this can lead to.

Peer Review 2

Peer Review 2 This week we did another peer review for our Introduction to Digital Media reading task. I truly learned a lot this time around when it came to the blogs I was giving feedback to. Not only was I able to reflect on my own blog based on the feedback I was giving, but it also gave me the opportunity to look at different writing styles and opinions.    Reading Katie's blog really gave me a clear idea on how to express my points while keeping things short and simple, the way that she was able to state her opinions well and then move on to the next topic quickly was amazing and something I realized I needed to learn how to do.    While reading Kailan's blog I noticed how everything was well thought out and planned.  Her blog was very clear when it came to messaging, opinions and examples. When reading her blog, it really felt like she was speaking to the viewer/reader which I think is very inspiring and knowledgeable.    I would also like to po...
