Hello! This is Sterling, back with another post. In this post, I thought I would share my project ideas, my thoughts on a COVID-19 theme, and my Daily Create story since I think it mostly revolves around our current situation. I do not own the featured image. Here is some …
An idea I have would be to do an episode like Total Request Live which was an MTV show that played top music videos. We could take current top music and remix/mash-up songs to sound like they are from the 80s. I found this video where someone remixed the song …
I’m not sure if this is exactly what the assignment means but, my idea is to do 80s what-ifs. Basically, I think it would be cool to talk about the what-if of historical events.
For example, what if in 1980, John Lennon wasn’t killed? What would be different? Would the …
When thinking about project story concepts for DS106, almost anything could be used to fuel a great assignment. Here are some of my favorite ideas for future projects:
Write and act out a part of a movie script Design a product, make an adv poster, and commercial for it Create…
As far as brainstorming is concerned, there are a couple things I still want to pursue that were part of my brainstorming for radio show ideas:
Video Games in the 80s:
I’m still a bit hung up on this topic, and just like last time, there are three things I’d …
I enjoy baking and cooking so one thing I would be interested in is comparing different foods/recipes that were popular in the 80’s and today. I think it would be interesting to see if there is a big difference or if most of the recipes are the same. Personally, I …
I’ve had a lot of time to think of project ideas for my show, and whether to base it off our 80s theme or what is currently happening in the world.
Personally, I believe I would rather base my final show off the 80s as we don’t know for sure …
Here are some ideas I have for future projects:
Invasion narrative Movie project Back to the Future Talk about the video games/arcades Children Toys MTV and music videos…
or some concepts of one, at least.
So. Idea one! I’m thinking playbill comparison, like, from a design perspective, which would be Very Research Based but like, I could make it a story. So I’m thinking either compare playbills of different eighties shows to each other, or maybe compare the …
This week has been super crazy, but being able to take a step back and start brainstorming ideas for my future projects has been a relaxing moments of this crazy time. I came up with a couple of different project that I think would be fun to go deeper into …
Brainstorming this week has been fun and relaxing through a hard time. It has given me time to explore fun topics and focus on more positive things. Here are a few ideas for possible topics:
Movies of the 80’s: exploring different themes that are present in movies in the 80’s.…
Since I figured it might be impossible to go outside and take a video about a certain topic, I was only able to figure out one video idea that I think would be pretty cool. As a group or as an individual, we would be given the opportunity to dissect …
One of my favorite things to do is watch movies or T.V. shows from decades gone by and assess how they would be different if they had modern day technology. For example, a number of years ago I was watching Stephen King’s Cujo at Halloween when my 9 year old …
There are so many fun things we could do with our 80s theme. The 80s was such a fun time in history with so much going on and happening. I think one of the most prominent things I think of when I think of the 80s is all the stuff. …
When talking about just kinda ideas that relate to 80’s pop culture, I think that there is a lot to talk about.
My radio show focused on music, but we could’ve gone a lot deeper into it if there wasn’t a time limit. I’m still really fascinated by the music …
Some Ideas to Throw in the Mix
80s Pandemics
Since the crisis of the COVID-19, an idea is to possibly put together clips of history especially what pandemics hit in the 1980s. Before I added this new post, I went to the headline.com site and found this: https://www.healthline.com/health/worst-disease-outbreaks-history#10 The 80s …
So it’s time to start thinking about our final projects, which is scary yet exciting to me because that means this semester is coming to a close! Here are a couple of general ideas I’ve come up with so far:
1.) Some sort of show (video/audio/podcast) that goes through the …
So for this upcoming project, I have very little idea on what to do. I want it to be creative and interesting, but I’m having trouble coming up with some storylines that would be!
Stories related to the 80s can be anything really! I think that’s what makes it so …
I am excited for the upcoming projects. An idea I have was telling a story through images and sound. I think it would be incredibly cool to put together different pieces of work I have done this semester into a slideshow of some sort. Along with this slideshow I could …
After scanning a majority of the content made so far that’s 80’s related, I noticed a lack of content focused around TV during that time. Most things have some ties to music or movies from the 80’s, including my own, which is reasonable given how impactful they were. Whether it …
I have a lot of ideas that could be done in relation to our theme. I have a project that I did in DS101 a while ago that I would love to revisit and change to match our theme. I did an album layering in photoshop that compiled all of …
There are numerous ways to convey a story to someone, but a few create more meaning for me.
Music for me is a constructive way in telling a story. The majority of lyrical music produced through history has an ulterior meaning to the artist whether it’s clear in the song …
Ummm…. so the end of the semester is coming and that means we need final project ideas. I have a few thoughts about ideas we could do that would hopefully work.
Here they are:
TED talk an event from the 80’s first hand story different food products that came out…
Storytelling is such a diverse concept, and so I think there are a lot of fun ways to do it!
Here are some of my ideas:
TED Talk
Everyone is passionate about something! I think a great skill to develop on is public speaking. SO… a fun project could be …
I am a creative writing major, so I definitely want to do a writing project in some form. My idea is to create a short story with digital media incorporated into it. It would be a standard written story set during the 80s, but I would like to incorporate music, …
This is my brainstorm web I created for the future assignments of DS106! It’s still a work in progress. …
I’m still wrapping my head around the premise of the assignment, but I...…
I have had a bunch of ideas for what kinds of projects to do, but not all of them have really been applicable for a full on project. The ones I think could be really good projects are comparative.
My first idea is to compare the daily lives of people …
” In the weeks ahead, we will work on video, remix/mashup, and final projects. We will see a lot of the work we’ve been doing come together. Concepts of design and storytelling, layering and editing, photography and sound production all play a part in video. You worked on a major …
