In today’s media age, social media plays a very important role. Sadly, it can be used to make or break one’s character. In the Transom.org article, Will Coley breaks down positive ways in which social media can be used in radio. It is amazing how technology has evolved. Radio audiences have more options when listening … Continue reading →

At first, I thought that this was going to be a boring show, just judging for the tone of the host Ira Glass. If he’d talked the entire time I thought I would pass out. But when the show went into the first act, I realized that there would be characters in each different act. … Continue reading →

This book was very interested. I really like the way that it was written. Making it a book of diary entries allowed the reader to stay focused. I doubt that one could make a book worth reading just writing about the radio. The way Sarah Vowell described the radio’s role in each day documented was … Continue reading →

Ode to Beddy

Sunday’s Daily Create This was definitely written from the heart. At times, I feel as if I neglect my bed. I hope to spend more time with Beddy over spring break. Friday’s Daily Create It hurt me to type the words that must never be spoken but it had to be done. GO BLUE! Response … Continue reading →

For my final video project I couldn’t figure out what to do. I didn’t want to do something I had already done and I was tired of looking online for random content to piece together so I decided to create my own content. I decided to do a stop-motion animation of my morning start. Process: … Continue reading →

I chose to use episodes from Phineas and Ferb because that’s one of my favorite TV shows. It’s funny because I started watching the show on my own. I always find it funny when Candace always tries so hard get the boys busted. I wanted to do a video that captured that humor. Steps: I … Continue reading →

Response to “Reality Hunger: A Manifesto” I did this assignment before Wednesday but it was stored as a draft for some reason. The article was a little difficult to understand but after our class discussion, the author’s intention was clearer. Wednesday’s Daily Create I retitled the original movie poster for the movie Flight. I’m a huge … Continue reading →

Before reading this article I never thought that movie scenes were so complex. I figured that the only thing a viewer should focus on to read the message was the dialogue and the actions of the characters; camera angles and positioning never even crossed my mind.  After reading this article I watched the movie Knight and … Continue reading →

UNDER INFLUENCE, a photo by denardr0016 on Flickr.

In this essay the author makes an argument for real artwork. He doesn’t call any type of art fake, but when he says real he means in the sense of being based off of reality rather than fiction. He mentions how almost every artist’s goal is to achieve reality within their artwork: Braque’s goal: “To … Continue reading →

My favorite actor is Denzel Washington. I pretty much love every movie he’s made. He’s always so serious in the roles that he plays. So I decided to use a scene from a playful movie. I chose The Lion King because that is one of my favorite and most memorable childhood movies. Immediately I thought … Continue reading →

According to Susan Sontag, “Camp” is a sensibility. It is “something of a private code, a badge of identity even, among small urban cliques” (Sontag, 1964). After reading this definition, I was still unclear about the subject, though she does make it clear that it’s not an idea. I may have grasped the idea of … Continue reading →

 

Saturday’s Daily Create, a photo by denardr0016 on Flickr. Broken and I don’t know why…

When it comes to getting creative on the computer I know what I want to do but it’s just hard to figure out how to do it. In a class I had last semester we learned about supercuts and mashups. I thought they were very interesting and I would love to be able to create … Continue reading →
