Metacognition: Mashup

I enjoyed this mashup in the sense that it was interesting to see how various aspects of medias can be combined as one voice. I did my mashup on realism, which although is not a directly mentioned topic, still was deeply rooted in the story.  I chose to do it in blog form with squares showing it all as a whole, and individual boxes detailing the specifics. I think this worked out well in showing individual elements as a whole.

My least favorite part of the project was the analyses. I tried to incorporate my analyses as bridges between the sides of realism. However, I feel that in doing so, I overexerted the same theme too often, and felt they came out too repetitive. Although I do see the importance of inserting my own opinion so I get a say in the mashup, I think that I struggled with variety.

I feel that I worked surprisingly efficiently on this project. I think it was because of all of the different elements. I never got too hung up on one particular aspect of the project, and I felt that helped me to concentrate on the whole. I felt focused and worked without stopping. 

This project definitely appealed to my way of thinking because I was able to connect various fragments. Although it was a challenge to make the mashup flow, I think I was able to arrange it in a sense that worked to further communicate the importance of realism.
