Third assignment I chose was 10 second song mashup. I obviously chose it because of my love for music! This was tricky because I used 5 songs but only 2-3 second clips of each.I don’t want to tell you too much from the process because it might give away the songs I used and the […]

So I did a Happy Days collage that includes pictures of the cast and the title.I got lucky because this remix is fairly easy, seeing as how individually the assignments were fairly easy, telling a story through a collage […]

Here’s another amazing video assignment! One that lets you show all about you and who you are. I chose this one because people tend to judge a book by its cover, meaning people are very judgmental.  I have always been and will be a country girl, many people take that the wrong way. I love […]
