For the Look, Listen, Analyze assignment, I chose the opening of the TV show Dexter from the 3rd youtube playlist. I chose this because Dexter is one of my favorite TV shows and although this isn’t a scene from a classic movie, I think it’s a masterpiece and worthy of this assignment. If the video …

For today’s reflection, I decided to start off the week by reading the late and great, Roger Ebert’s article on how to read a movie. Ebert begins his article with a look into how he first become interested in movies and how movies bring along people who are able to answer questions that one may have in regards to culture…

Visual Only- The opening is simply a shot of the man sitting on a chair, there is little action occurring but the scene is well balanced. Everything seems simplified and clean, from the mans sharp outfit to the empty bottle and unopened cigar on either side of the man. Although his expression and slouched posture …

This was a fun daily create. Of course I picked the robot that resembles a cat since I love cats. I got a kick out of changing its arms, head, and hips movement. The movements I chose were completely random. Below is a screenshot of my dancing robot.

This week was very tiring. The assignments were killing me! I was very confused at points but I got through it. I did up enjoying what we had to this week because I really enjoy making sounds and having my voice heard. When I started this week, I was not happy about how long everything …

In the Moon Graffiti post, it was awesome to see the different techniques that were being used. One of these techniques included making a dispatch like tool to sound like a radio the astronauts were using.

In Lo Down Episode 9, I really like the intro. The intro music really made me get into it. The speaker has such a great, articulate voice. The intro was great as it showed what a bumper was. Even though I didn’t create a bumper, I think it would be something cool to do sometime …

With my musical background, I had plenty of prior experience working with audio, so I faced very little challenges. I did four audio assignments which I very much enjoyed, and a couple of daily creates (listed below) that I was able to add my sociopolitical twist to. I enjoyed the few comments I received and […]
