IMPROVE LANGUAGE TEACHING & LEARNING

         İrem, Naz, and I collaborated to write a film review for the Japanese animated movie Your Name, directed by Makoto Shinkai. We were tasked with writing a 400-word review in collaboration, following 'a clear structure' including background, plot summary, technical aspects and overall evaluation. A common Google Docs page was created and we used it to brainstorm ideas, share tasks, and edit each other's contributions.      We gained a lot from collaborative writing. Most importantly it gave us the chance to see some error we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Feedback have actually lifted some weights on our shoulder because we did not have to try to make it perfect by ourselves. We have just wrote it and improved it to our standards by givin each other feedback. Every one of us was gifted with a unique skill set, whether it was plot analysis or technical aspects like music and cinematography. The diversity in our final assessment contributed t...

       For our assignment, my friend Naz and I produced a 2-minute fictional story video. The plot revolved around two princes where one was brave but foolish while the other was smart but cowardly. Their father, the king, ordered them to go defeat a dragon. In the end, they learned some other things.      We began with a joint story writing session. After, we narrated and recorded the audio. Naz took the role of the narrator and I voiced the princes. To improve the cleanliness of our audio, we used  Cleanvoice AI  which is effective in background noise reduction.        With  Storyboard That , we created 34 different scenes which we termed visually as parts to a story. Using audio from  Pixabay , we searched for sound effects and music, especially medieval and fairy tale themed music to add more soul into the video.  Kdenlive  was used to combine the audio recording with sound effects, music, and ...

    We created a short fictional podcast for this project. The podcast is explicitly titled The Wallet in The Forest. In the story, two characters are followed as they discover a mysterious wallet while walking through the woods, and this seemingly simple object slowly turns into a chilling mystery for them. Eerie tales with unexpected twists as well as memories of exploring quiet forests inspired us.

The final version of the audio was edited by us through the utilization of CapCut . It’s mainly a video editor. Furthermore, it additionally helped us to thoroughly trim the silences, properly adjust the pacing, and smoothly blend in the sound effects that we have used Pixabay ...
