Over the past 5 weeks I have been participating in live tweeting about sci-fi films for BCM325. It has all been very new for me but I have learnt a lot and discovered themes within these films that interest me.

Upon reflection I will put a bit more planning into my future live tweets as I want to have more capacity to interact in discourse with my peers. Over the past 5 weeks I have learnt to go beyond tweeting about basic facts such as this:

Alana was great at doing this throughout the past 5 weeks:

ALSO, you'll come to notice that scenes that take place:
1. In the matrix – are green
2. in the real world – normal colouring
3. interaction with morpheus – yellow tint (this is because it takes part in neither the matrix nor real world) #bcm325 https://t.co/TaVnhD7LFE
