FINAL WEEK IS OVER!
I noticed that everything is due on Friday rather than Sunday, so I got started right away with my story. I wrote a lot. This was definitely the most exciting part of the class, writing our own story for the final. I have always loved watching …
“I failed, I’m a failure. What happens now?” Draco thought silently. He is by himself, reminiscing over what happened, or rather what didn’t happen. Dumbledore is not dead. He’s still alive.
Draco failed to kill Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Why is this so bad? …
I made this photo edit, inspired by the design assignment prompt, Are We There Yet?. I took two separate photos, the character Draco and what is supposed to be his home back in the Wizarding World. Because in the story, he left, I wanted to make an edit of …
Another digital media that I put together is an audio clip with sound effects, which I used to tell a scene of my story. I loosely followed the guidelines from the Sound Effect Story audio assignment prompt. I used around 9 or 10 sound effects and audio clips. This sound …
Throughout the semester, I realized that I improved on my photoshop editing skills. I also got better with taking photos in general by taking in the tips we learned. I’m way better at making GIFs, too! Now I can make cute ones or funny ones.
The most challenging unit for …
I made this photo edit to put in my final story. It was inspired by the visual assignment prompt, Opposites Attract Meme. Though I did not turn it into a meme, I made the edit fit my story. This edit represents the two main characters, Draco and Sam, who …
These are the “post-it notes” that I used in my story. I took the inspiration from the “Post-It Notes and Grocery List” prompt, in the Visual Assignment Bank. Since one of the characters in the story is the owner of a bakery, I thought of a few fun post-its to …
I created a logo for one of the settings in my story. I got the idea from the Design Assignments prompt, Create A Logo. This is a very simple logo that is used to represent the bakery that one of the characters in my story owns. …
One of the media pieces I made to include in the story is a GIF. I used the prompt, Been There from the Animated GIF Assignment Bank. The assignment said to create a GIF from a movie that shows a relatable emotion, expression, or moment. I chose this scene when …
I’m going to be real for a second, I feel like I’ve been in a slump this week. But worry not, I was able to finish everything for this week!
For starters, I learned about “reading” movies. I looked more into the editing/filming techniques. Though I learned that in one …
For my second video assignment, I completed the “This is My Story” prompt. I decided to share a funny/crazy childhood story.
This story is inspired by a true story that happened to me when I was younger. When I am asked to tell a crazy story, I always think …
For my first video assignment, I chose to do the “60 Second Day” prompt. This was filmed on Saturday, June 15th!
I’m going to be completely honest, this week hasn’t been the greatest. I felt like I had little to zero energy. The first half of the week, I …
I decided to analyze a film that is recognized by many except by me. Crazy to think about it but I don’t think I’ve ever fully watched the Batman movie, The Dark Knight. I know, insane! But here I am, about to analyze a scene of the Joker.
Look:
There …
I learned from “How to Read a Movie”, that reading a movie is basically analyzing the scene. Roger Ebert mentioned an example that he heard from film critic, John West. The example is that you can analyze films just like how football coaches study game plays. I never really …

The assignments for this week were all very new to me because I think I am the most unfamiliar with Sound Storytelling. I am glad that there were several examples and resources to look at.
At the beginning of the week, I started watching Ira Glass and Jad Abumrad explain …

For my last audio assignment, I decided to do the “Ted Talk Pronunciation Practice” prompt.
I always struggled with giving presentations. The worst part was always getting my words jumbled around. All the random pauses and stutters are what I need to improve. Thankfully with this assignment, it’s just …
For my third audio assignment, I chose to do the “Tongue Twister” prompt. I decided on attempting to do Better Botter tongue twister!
I have always liked saying tongue twisters. I’ve tried Wood Chuck and Peter Piper, but I’ve never heard of Betty Botter and her butter! So I …

Moon Graffiti began with beeping and static noises represent the setting. The conversation exchanged through the radio became hectic when the characters talked faster and the alarm going off. There is an abrupt ending when the voices and the noises cut off. The audio picks back up after a few …
The TED Radio Hour is a short audio clip, with commentary included.
From the short clip, I learned that when the audio has multiple speakers, the narration shifts once that new speaker enters the conversation. Once a story is being told, the background music is added. The calming music was …
I completed the “Sound Effects Story” prompt for my second audio assignment. For this assignment, I used 11 different sounds to put together a simple story in under 90 seconds!
The background of the story I created is about a student having a typical summer day. In this story, the …
For my first audio assignment, I chose to do the “Instrumental VS Vocals” prompt. Now that I finished it, it was a bit difficult for my first assignment… Perhaps I should have picked a simple one first. Nonetheless, here it is!
There was a time at school, where I …
In the first video of Ira Glass speaking about Storytelling, he elaborated on the main components that go into telling a story.
He mentioned that audibly telling a story is much different than telling a story with written words. There are two major aspects of telling a story: Anecdote and …

To be honest, this week has been a bit overwhelming. I made the mistake of thinking that I had more time than I actually did. But I am thankful that I was able to complete all of the assignments.
I started by reading through all of the assignments for the …
This is a photo of the chandelier that is above my kitchen table. This chandelier represents the design concept, Unity.
Trent Sizemore has a blog post about the different elements of design.
The Principles of Design in Photography
In the post, he mentions that “[an example of unity] could be …
