    Video Essay

    This assignment was interesting! It felt very awkward to talk about the scene as it was rolling but I think it turned out pretty okay. This scene is hilarious, the whole movie is really, but I tried not to chuckle too much during recording. ...

    Super Secret Opinions

    by
    The Super Secret Opinions radio show was great! I think their group did a great job replicating what a real radio show is like. They had a lot of good conversation about the secret agent theme and I like how they incorporated real life characters such as Mr. and Mrs. Smith, Gru, MIB Agents A&K, and James Bond. They did a great job describing each of the characters and their wardrobe. My favorite segment was when they talked about Gru. They discussed whether he was truly a secret agent and how fashionable he was. I think talking about Gru being a sercret agent is interesting because that isn’t his actual title but I think he makes a good agent because he does a lot of secret agent things such as saves the world! They also discuss how great of a character he is, such that he is super kind to his three little girls and tries to best to be a good person. I also thought it was great that they brought up Perry the Platypus! He is one of my earliest recollections of secret agents in the show Phineas and Ferb. I think his character is often forgotten about because he is so secretive in his missions that he runs – saving the world just about every day! They had really good placement of their commercials and radio bumpers. I enjoyed their commercial “Re-Caller”, I think it was a very realistic commercial and it made me want to buy the product! I even tweeted that I need a re-caller in my life!

    Happily Ever After

    See if you can figure out this story made out of gifs! This story may have been a difficult one to depict, mostly because this story is a twist to the original, Romeo and Juliet. This 3-star assignment was actually a lot of fun to make. I really enjoy assignments that are visual and have the flexibility to be creative. When I first came across this assignment I struggled with deicing which story I should re-create. I toggled with several stories such as Harry potter and Mr and Mrs Smith and then on eof my favorite songs from middle school came on, Love Story by Taylor Swift came on my Spotify playlist. To create this timeline of the story, I pulled up the lyrics of Love Story then began to choose gifs. I wanted to keep all the gifs Disney themed, and for the most part I was able to except for one. I then placed all the gifs in sequential order that matched up with the story. Overall this assignment was a lot of fun! The most frustrating thing about this assignment was when I put everything in order, typed up a good blog and then the website quit on me! Even though it said it saved the work, when I opened it, it wasn’t there. So I had to re-create the story. Only a few gifs changed but the assignment was still fun to put together (the first time).
