From: Evan Pratten Aside from condensation of a book to fit the story into movie format, the actual content stays the same. When done well, any format change does not change the content to fit the new format, but instead makes use of the resources unique to that format to tell or show details that may me difficult to convert. For example, a narrator’s opinion stated in a book could be integrated into a flashback in a movie or comic. ## When I first learned of Chanie Wenjack a few months ago in history class, I only learned a basic outline of his life. Through reading and viewing the following three pieces about him, the various mediums helped me better understand his story. ## A shift in medium is great to help augment a person’s views of a topic through the following ways: ## The first medium I learned of Chanie Wenjack’s life through was an animated film. Gord Downie’s to be exact. The nature of film helped me understand the circumstances of Chanie Wenjack’s final days. Having a visual representation of the journey in my mind was very helpful in the path of underatanding what his final day where like, and what he had to endure in school. With the visuals an images from the film in my mind, I went on to learn further and in more detail through Maclean’s article from 1967. Being completely text based, this article was full of detail and not much else. The same story was told, and I enjoyed the extra point of view and context provided in this format. To round out my knowledge of the topic, I took a look at the Secret Path website. Being a website, the experience was very interactive and allowed me to specificity view topics or sections what were of interest. This site shows how well an interactive experience can tell a story, as anyone can explore the site in their own way. “Chanie Wenjack.” Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation, 26 Apr. 2019, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanie_Wenjack. “Chanie Wenjack.” Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation, 26 Apr. 2019, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanie_Wenjack. “Secret Path.” Secret Path, secretpath.ca/.
