Today’s Daily Create (2/12) was to create a creative Family Tree. WELL– I was inspired by 2048. Here ya go.  

Telekinesis- User can influence/manipulate/move matter with their mind. Telekinesis is one of the basis of many superpowers that are based on “controlling/manipulating”, and may evolve to the point that a Telekinetic can control anything at a subatomic level. Daily Create (2/11)

HOLY MACARONI… What a week this has been. Let me tell you- If this week didn’t stress you out (even just a little), then I don’t think you’re doing DS/NOIR106 correctly. Also, I tweeted this at the beginning of the week, Just need to get my math work outta the way so I can get […]

It is amazing how much sounds affect your feelings when you watch a video. This week, we were asked to watch two different versions of A Touch of Evil. The first version used music that was much more upbeat, and less eerie, while the second version started out with very dark and creepy music. There are a […]

So live tweet-alongs are actually REALLY FUN! I live tweeted on Wednesday, along with what seemed like a good amount of people! I definitely learned a lot about radio shows, and how important sound is to a story. I was a little weary about listening, because when I watch TV, I tend to get easily […]

To finish up my stars for the week, I decided to do the Make ‘em Laugh assignment (worth 1.5 stars). The task?: Find a good, brief joke in a language other than your mother tongue; if you don’t know any other languages this might be a good way to start learning. Record your voice telling the joke […]

A radio show? Now that is something I have never done before. I’ve done a lot of brainstorming throughout the week and these are a few of the ideas I came up with – 1. Interviewing Noir Characters. 2. Reading of a Noir story/play 3. A story, like the game clue, where listeners have to […]

Creating a story through sounds is not only challenging, but extremely fun! The task was:“Tell a story using nothing but sound effects. There can be no verbal communication, only sound effects. Use at least five different sounds that you find online. The story can be no longer than 90 seconds.” I had such a great time […]

Today’s Daily Create (2/7) was to create a dot for International Dot Day, so here I am, making my mark.  

Making a radio bumper is actually a lot more fun than I expected it to be! This assignment really pushed my creativity (like most assignments do in this class). I created my bumper using audacity, as well as sounds found on a freesound website. It took me a while to get everything to work the […]

Well. Audio week has proven to be a lot harder than I thought it was going to be. We need a total of 8 stars this week, so I did the Dramatic Reading Remix which is worth 3.5 stars. What you had to do was do a dramatic reading of one of your favorite songs, then pair […]

Today’s Daily Create was to caption a PUPPY!!! (and it was a noir puppy)

ITS OVER. ITS OVER. I MISSED THE SUPER BOWL AND I DON’T CARE. I didn’t think this week would end. I had planned to get all of my work done by Thursday so I could enjoy my weekend home, but that obviously didn’t happen so here I am at 9:46 on Sunday night cranking in […]

Chinatown was a fantastic movie. I actually chose to watch this one because on Switched at Birth on Monday, Bay and Emmett went and saw it and were talking about Film Noir and I was like….. this is a sign that Chinatown is for me! I went into it without any real expectations, but I’m […]

The art of photography today is definitely different than it has been in  the past. I know I am guilty of this, but selfies have become somewhat of an obsession with our generation. I am all for selfies, and for people taking pictures of themselves because they feel good about how they look. I think […]

Today’s Daily Create (Sat, Jan 31) was to create instructions on an everyday item. Well, what is more everyday than an email? Let’s just say I’ve spent the time at my gate waiting to board my plane productively!!

Well THIS week we got to go on a safari! But not just any safari. There were no giraffes (which was lame) but instead there were Noir Aspects! Here are the 5 I chose to do. (PS Thanks to Kelsey for being my model.) Dramatic Use of Distinct Shadows: Lighting From One Side: Unusual Camera Angle: […]

Killer’s Kiss was very disappointing. I did not like the movie, or the storyline, however I did find a lot of aspects of Noir within it. Noir is captured through dramatic lighting and angles. The dark storyline and difficult love story also proved to be important aspects of the film. As you can see in […]

Today’s Daily Create was to show silence in a movie. I took pictures of words around campus to tell a story, silently.

Would a rose by any other name smell so sweet? My last 3 stars are going towards my Acrostic Poem. I wanted to use three words that had meaning to me, but may not be understood by others right away. I chose the words Mermaid, Island, and Airplane. The reason I chose the word Mermaid […]

A little glimpse into Blair’s life. Be Prepared, or Scared, or both…… For 3 mandatory stars, we had to create some type of bag for our character (What’s in Your Bag?), and spread its contents out. Now as you all obviously know (since you’ve read up on my character Blair). She is a mysterious woman, […]

This Visual Assignment is worth 3 stars. It is all about Creating a Warning Poster. Basically what you had to do is create a warning poster for whatever you wanted. I decided I was going to make one that was posted outside of my character Blair’s house. I had mentioned that she had a foxhound […]

Worth 2.5 stars, for one of my visual assignments I decided to do Shakespearean LOL Cat. Basically what you had to do was take a picture of a cat and put a quote from Shakespeare that had to do with what was going on in the picture.  This one was fun. I really love any […]

Daily Create January 28 I AM SO IN LOVE WITH MY 2048 GAME AND YOU SHOULD BE TOO. You can play the game by clicking here, and follow Anna and Elsa through their story. Can you help thaw a frozen heart? I made this because 1. I love Frozen and 2. It seemed like a […]

I didn’t think I would ever make it to this post, but this week was full of creative, fun, and challenging assignments. I definitely learned a lot about myself in a creative sense this week. For the past 2 years I’ve spent basically every moment in Trinkle trying to cram in a million math classes, […]

The Killers by Hemmingway was not one of my favorite reads. I was expecting there to be some elaborate killing, especially after reading other pieces of Noir. There are a lot of instances where the language is very vulgar, which is something that was probably more common during the writing in the 20s. Today, many books […]

One of our assignments this week was to write an alternate ending to one of the stories we read. Since I was so fascinated by The Postman Always Rings Twice I felt as though writing another ending would suit me well, since I am part of the #frankandcora4ever team. I wanted them to at least make it to […]

Daily Creates really helps your creative side show itself.  I definitely had A LOT of fun working on them this week. On Tuesday, the goal was to wear camouflage, or camouflage yourself in some way. Now being from NY, Camo is not really a part of my wardrobe. I’ve never actually worn something camo. So i […]

I had to dedicate at least 3 stars to my Character Dossier, and I thought this assignment would be the perfect way to do it! Not only is it worth a whopping 3 stars, it was also an extremely fun assignment to do. The title of the assignment is Seven-Character Story Treatment in which you create […]

Noir readings seem to be somewhat uncomfortable at times. Dopamine Agnostics is a lot different from the last story I read about Frank and Cora. In This story, the main character Lorne is going through a rough time, since he was diagnosed with Parkinsons, which led him to receive the status of full disability. This story […]
