In this project, I learned a lot about different folktales that are told in Spanish speaking countries. Eventually, I found a really interesting folktale from Ecuador about a man who was brutally attacked by evil men. This man then turned into a scary insect and haunted the evil men for their sins. I enjoyed this story a lot and wrote my own version of the story. My story took place in a much more modern time, where a greedy, rich civilization attacks a poorer one. After my story was finished, I conducted a shadow puppet presentation to exhibit the narrative I wrote.
I am very proud of the unique creativity I was able to bring out with this project. My story was very peculiar and special in its own way. I don't think there's a folktale in the world depicting a situation similar to the one I presented. Additionally, illustrating my story with a shadow puppet show was very unique, and it think the style portrayed the style of the story well.
The largest challenge that presented itself during this project was the technological difficulties that occurred. I charged my camera to full battery and attempted to record my project, but I messed up the script and the shadow puppets a few times, and had to do it over. Eventually, I got a very good presentation, just to find out that the camera had died in the middle of it. After I charged the camera and recorded my presentation once more, the camera's USB cable would not connect to my computer, so I couldn't upload my files. Eventually, I had to borrow a new cable and was able to work quickly to upload and edit my video.
