Research into websites

  In todays class we started learning how to create a website using WIX. Its a easy software to work with all I have to do is register, chose a template that reflects my work the best and that's it. But before I dive into editing my own website I thought I take a look at some other writers' websites for inspiration.


   First of all, I checked out Neil Gaiman's website, as I am a fan of his work I thought it would be interesting to see his website too. It has his name on the top of the menu bar with all-important links. His image in the center. links to new releases and coming soon section. I think this website is well built as it's clear what it's about its also easy to navigate and on top of that it looks clean.



The second website I visit was James Patterson's, again its easy to navigate with the menu bar on the top, it has his name in big letters and an image in the center. Again, it's clean, neat, and well presented.



I think for my website I will try to do something similar. I want to make sure that it's clean, and everyone can see who I am and what I do straight away.

Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986

                                                                          (Ferris Bueller's Day Off 1986 - opening scene) In today's class, we were introduced to one of the cult films " Ferris Bueller's Day Off " Written and directed by John Hughes who is also known for works such as "Planes, Trains & automobiles" ( 1987) and "The Breakfast Club" (1985). Movie was  produced by Paramount pictures.(IMDB)  "Paramount Pictures, In full Paramount Pictures Corporation, one of the first and most successful of the Hollywood film studios. It became a subsidiary of viacom in 1994"   (Britannica).   Ferris Bueller's day off in my opinion is ultimate lazy Sunday afternoon movie, sending nothing but good emotions. Matthew Broderick who was nominated for the Golden Globe award in 1987  for the best performance by any actor in motion picture ( Golden Globes) delivers fun, intreaging and all rounded character to life, making us feel like we

Development of my project

Image
With the deadline just around the corner I finished drafting and ready to submit the project I was carrying out throughout the media 2 module. While redrafting for the last time, I aimed to get rid of unnecessary words and sentences in order to control the tone throughout my work. I also looked at minimalism as a literary device.  'Minimum is both an ending and a beginning, the terminus of patient processes of simplification reduction, exposition, intensification and clarification.' (Botha, 2017)   Will You Please Be Quiet,Please? (Carver, 2014),                                        What We Talk About When We Talk About Love (Carver, 2009)    Also, while working on my story I was reading two short story collections written by Raymond Carver: Will You Please Be Quiet, Please? and What We Talk About When We Talk About Love. Reading these collections greatly informed me of Raymond Carver's work and gave me inspiration when editing my own work. I was interested by minimalism
