We learned and applied the elements of story structure and character arc to various forms of literature, artwork, and filmmaking. Beginning with introductory applications such as brainstorms, plot maps, and storyboards, we fabricated a variety of narrative stories in all three of our courses. We learned to further develop our ideas into tangible art forms, utilizing a variety of medias and producing a wide repertoire of stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading banner storybanner\">Story<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"958\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4925.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-284\" style=\"width:516px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4925.jpeg 958w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4925-300x251.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/IMG_4925-768x641.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 958px) 100vw, 958px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">English Narrative Plot Map<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In English, we were tasked with writing a &#8220;Flash Fiction&#8221; story. This involved crafting a full story and character arc, all within the span of a few pages. I wanted to write about growing up, as seen through the mother-daughter relationship. I wanted to tackle that growing urge for independence that occurs during a coming-of-age, while also calling attention to the simultaneously evolving parallels between a mother and daughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After writing the flash fiction, we adapted it to audio in Digital Media. I improved my knowledge of recording audio by getting to know by Tascam recorder. When recording my story, I stood in a closet, as to avoid echo, and recorded each paragraph separately. Once I had the audio files, I put them all together in Pro Tools, cutting out mistakes and ensuring a smooth product. I wanted to make the recording more engaging, so I added music and sound effects. Learning how to adjust volume and timing of the sound effects in Pro Tools was a struggle, but I eventually gained an apt understanding of the technology&#8217;s mechanisms. Hearing my story come to life in this step of the process was truly incredible, and I&#8217;m endlessly grateful to have the tools and knowledge to do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em><strong>The Always House<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" allow=\"autoplay\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1827540843&#038;color=%23ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false&#038;show_teaser=true\"><\/iframe><div style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc;line-break: anywhere;word-break: normal;overflow: hidden;white-space: nowrap;text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif;font-weight: 100;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/freestyle-academy\" title=\"Freestyle Academy\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Freestyle Academy<\/a> \u00b7 <a href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/freestyle-academy\/story-by-jessiee-2024\" title=\"Story By JessieE (2024)\" target=\"_blank\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" rel=\"noopener\">Story By JessieE (2024)<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Hmmhmmhmmmmmmmmmhm\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She was always humming. She was always humming because she always could. She always could because she could always do whatever she wanted in a house that was always hers. In her <em>always house<\/em>, Eden was never told that \u201cchildren should be seen and not heard.\u201d In her <em>always house<\/em>, in which she lived alone, she could sing and dance and play and shout and skip and laugh and eat whatever she wanted without <em>ever<\/em> having to worry about a scolding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Plink.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pebble fell from the house\u2019s pebbled exterior. Eden added it to her collection of fallen pebbles. She had nine. Eden loved her <em>always house<\/em>, but it was old, and susceptible to sporadic crumbles. Living in an old house made Eden feel special, like she was old too. She always made sure to take care of the house; pushing all the dust bunnies to one corner, shining the forks twice, and pushing back the peeling wallpaper. She pretty much spent all of her time taking care of the house. She wore beautiful, flowy, entirely too-big dresses while attending to her household tasks. It was all very <em>adult<\/em>, in her humble opinion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was all great, but the best part of the <em>always house<\/em>, by far, was the garden. Eden\u2019s garden. She could spend <em>alllllllll<\/em> day in the garden, pruning it into exactly what she wanted it to be. She grew yellow and pink roses which were taller than her, and any that were too short, or too thorny, she uprooted. The bad thing about uprooting was that it seemed to disrupt the other flowers, which would wilt and sometimes die. Eden always felt bad, but when the time came, she kept cutting the short, thorny flowers. All she wanted was a garden that demonstrated her, and imperfection did not. It was exhausting, taking care of her most prized thing, and the day\u2019s work always had Eden ready for bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Plink<\/em>. Another for the collection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She\u2019d always thought that girls without bedtimes didn\u2019t need sleep, but living alone, in the <em>always house<\/em>, had proved her wrong. And so, tonight, just as she does every night at 8:01, Eden dragged her tired legs up the three flights of stairs, pushed her bedroom door open with fatigued force, and crawled into her moth-eaten duvet. She fell asleep on the first blink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Eden? Eeeeeeeeeeeedddeeeeeennnn\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Waking up was hard. It felt as though the <em>always house<\/em> became haunted at night. No matter how deep in sleep she was, she would hear voices. A familiar voice she couldn\u2019t quite place. This voice held a sort of tangibility; tossing and turning her throughout the night, preventing her from a full rest. And so, waking up was hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Plink. Plink. <\/em>Huh. Two pebbles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eden rose to collect the pebbles from outside, lifting one limb at a time out of bed, dragging her feet along the creaking floorboards, sitting and sliding down all three flights of stairs. When she completed her journey to the outside, she bent down to pick up the pebbles and frowned. Her hands weren\u2019t her hands. Well they were her hands\u2026 but\u2026 not? When she looked down, her hands had become a woman\u2019s hands. Fat fingers had been replaced by delicate skin that stretched over her knuckles, and knowing lines, lines of experience, had taken form across her palm. These were lived-in hands; hands that had felt more than Eden\u2019s did. When she picked up the pebble, even touching felt different. She had no inclination to grab, she only reached. Slow movements demonstrating a patience and expectation that Eden didn\u2019t have. These weren\u2019t her hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>THUD<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eden turned to see that a massive stone, belonging to the house\u2019s masonry, had fallen from the wall, but that wasn\u2019t what had caught her attention. As she turned, she caught her reflection in the window, only it wasn\u2019t her face. She barely recognized the face; she barely remembered a life before the <em>always house<\/em>. And then she did. She remembered the reprimands and the punishment and the fighting and the expectations. She remembered the bedtimes and she remembered the endless scoldings. Worst of all, she remembered feeling like a short, thorny flower. When she saw her reflection in the window, she was beyond unhappy to see that what was reflecting back at her, was her <em>mother\u2019s <\/em>face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She heard a rumbling. Then a distant crash. Then a <em>closer<\/em> crash. Then she was dodging stones from every direction. It didn\u2019t even seem like the stones were falling, more as though they were being thrown, as though there was a tornado circling <em>just<\/em> the house. It was all falling to pieces. Everything she loved, crashing into dust. She wouldn\u2019t let this happen. She ran back into the house. She didn\u2019t care if she got hurt, she wouldn\u2019t let this sanctuary be taken from her. She pulled open the door, taking it off its hinges as she did so, and charged towards the kitchen. She grabbed all of her extra-shiny forks and made for the stairs. As she stormed up the stairs, faster than she ever had, she ran her hand against the wall, making sure the wallpaper was extra secure. As soon as she saw it she leaped for her bed, sending both it and her crashing through the floor. While she was falling, she managed to wrap herself in the holey duvet. One last comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>BANG<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The bed fell, and with it, the rest of the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Hmmhmmhmmmmmmmmmhm\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEden? Eeeeeeeeeeeedddeeeeeennnn\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eden was scared to open her eyes. She felt weight on her from outside the blanket, but it didn\u2019t hurt. The pressure increased, but it didn\u2019t hurt. Eden tried to poke her head out of the blanket, but she was drowning in fabric. Suddenly, a hand reached through the sea of sheets, a hand that, not too long ago, belonged to her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMom?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOh, Eden &#8211; it\u2019s just a bad dream, we all get them. You can go back to sleep now.\u201d Eden\u2019s mom said goodnight but she didn\u2019t leave. She stayed to hum Eden back to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Hmmhmmhmmmmmmmmmhm\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"591\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Erb_Jessie-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session-1024x591.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-289\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Erb_Jessie-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session-1024x591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Erb_Jessie-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session-300x173.jpg 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Erb_Jessie-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Erb_Jessie-Pro-Tools-Short-Story-Session.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Pro Tools Session<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Erb_Jessie-Short-Story-Album-Art.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-290\" style=\"width:545px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Erb_Jessie-Short-Story-Album-Art.png 800w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Erb_Jessie-Short-Story-Album-Art-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Erb_Jessie-Short-Story-Album-Art-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/freestyleacademy.rocks\/~JessieE\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Erb_Jessie-Short-Story-Album-Art-768x768.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Short Story Album Art<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading banner illustrationsbanner\">Illustrations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Using technology as a tool for illustration is an important skill, and it&#8217;s one we delved into in Digital Media in the Narrative I unit.
