    Tutorial

    by
    This week I was asked to complete and design a tutorial on an assignment that I thought was tough throughout the semester. I took a little spin on this and I made a tutorial on the tool I used the most throughout the semester and that is the Adobe Phot...

    Mission Mashup

    by
    This week has been all about mashups and remixes. Part of this week’s assignments was dedicated to generating some remixes/mashups of our final mission ide with ideas from our classmates. As a recap, my idea for our final mission was to explore one area of digital storytelling that we haven’t so far and that is […]

    Animoji Karaoke

    by
    Stars: 5 This assignment was super easy! The hardest part was finding a phone to do it with. I don’t have a phone with Animoji, so I had to use my boyfriends phone. He agreed immediately, but I didn’t want him to see me make a fool of myself! I went into the bathroom and used my phone to play the music, while using his to record my animoji. We had to fiddle around with the app, because it wasn’t working properly, but eventually got it to work. Then I sent it to myself and saved it from my laptop. Overall, this assignment was waaaaaay too cringe for my liking, but it was the first time I’ve used Animoji! I don’t know if ill ever use it again, its too creepy (especially when you stick out the tongue!).

    Weekly Summary 4/12/19

    by
    Well….. after two weeks of constant struggles I have finally completed MY MISSION! Here I am on Tuesday writing my weekly summary after cracking down and fighting my procrastination. For those interested in my laptop update, here it is. I dropped off my laptop on Thursday, with the estimated time I would be getting it back this Wednesday. Safe to say, this would’ve created another hell week. However, it was ready to be picked up on Saturday. I spent the past couple of days grinding all my homework out, so that for once I can enjoy my free time. I think my laptop should be all good! If not, and I have to walk into apple one more time, I might demand a new laptop (because then it would be getting out of control). So after 6 phone calls, $500, a wiped laptop, hours on the phone, and days of waiting, I’M BACK! Let’s get this started, shall we? Our first assignment was to make a tutorial. I am very familiar with this assignment, as I did it a couple weeks ago. I love being able to help people in the class. It took me quite a bit of time to get this class down, but after I did, I want to be able to help others. No matter how easy an assignment is, someone in the class could be having trouble with it! I chose to do the video essay. I really enjoyed this assignment, and it could be one to have trouble with. I’ve done two video essays and two tutorials in the past few weeks, so this I have mastered. All I did was record my screen, put it into iMovie, add a voiceover, a few titles, some music, and I was done! I state in my post that I accidentally found out a really cool new thing! You can actually layer a title over your video, which makes it look fresh and modern. I definitely will be using this more in the future! Next was our assignments! 10 stars of mashup assignments, and two remixes. I really enjoyed the mashup assignments! They didn’t need an extra software to complete and were really fun! For my first assignment it was 5 stars. I had to basically have a conversation with myself. I wanted to relate it to my secret agent, so I made it a text conversation between her and the Secret Agent Headquarters. This headquarters was giving her a mission. I kept it vague to correlate with the typical secret agent lifestyle. All I did was screen record it and put it into my post! I chose to just do this and not edit it because the assignment called for a screen recording. I’ve been interpreting assignments, and for this one, I wanted to keep it authentic. I was also quite confused on how to do this assignment. I didn’t want to take a friends phone, and I also wasn’t home to use my iPad. I chose to use my laptop, but change the sending address from my phone number to my email. This would allow for there not to be double texts sent. I then changed the contact information and sent the texts back and forth! ANIMOJI!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Next was remixes!!! Now these were actually really fun too!!! I liked taking a regular assignment and adding a twist to it. I chose to do an assignment where you upload a photo and talk about why it is your favorite. However, the remix was to turn this around. So I did my least favorite photo. My photo was of the last day my cat Harley was alive. It is also my last photo of him alive. I LOVE the photo (because he had fallen into his water dish) but hate the memory of his death. SIXTENN YEAR OLD ME Posts of the Week: I feel like everyone had really great ideas for our final mission! Everyone is also so creative with their assignments and I love it. This is one of my favorite things to do every week. Looking Ahead: For the mission remix, I wanted to have multiple different peoples ideas, while also incorporating my own. My idea was to use all medias we have used in our final project. Then I went through everyones ideas and picked my favorites and assigned them the appropriate category. Commenting: It still Tuesday, so I have time to comment my butt off, which I intend to do (don’t worry!!!!!!). Daily Creates: WE’RE GETTING CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE END! WEEK TWELVE IS COMPLETE (and I’m off to bed)!!!!!!!!!!!!!
