Link 3: Natalie Pang’s Task 6 – Emoji Story

Check out Natalie’s Task 6 here!

I just had to pick this one to link with as it is one of my favourite shows as well. I knew it instantly when I saw the title, the one this that took me a second to recognize was how Natalie chose to approach this task. At first, I was wondering what episode she may be depicting, as I (maybe embarrassingly so) likely would have known the specific episode. Rather, she decided to introduce each of the main characters with emojis which I thought was absolutely brilliant and she did a wonderful (and entertaining) job of it.

We both enjoyed this task of representing a tv show or movie through the use of emojis. We both note the challenge we had with finding the appropriate emojis to encapsulate messages or loose connections of ideas of representations. We both started with the title for similar reasons, Natalie; emojis that I could use in my plot description that would make the entire story cohesive, and myself; specific emoji I wanted to use in the title as I use it throughout the rest of my emoji story (representation is made more obvious in the title). We both had to be a little creative and improvise to express our ideas and make appropriate visual representations for our viewers.

As mentioned previously, I found it interesting how she chose to introduce the main characters and then briefly represent the main idea or plot of the entire series. I think it would have been a nice addition to my emoji story if I introduced the characters at the beginning as well. I would have liked the challenge to decipher an episode of the tv show she chose (as nerdy as that sounds) just for the challenge! I enjoyed engaging with Natalie’s story and got to laugh along the way.
