Recycle the media assignment

Posted by

This assignment has proven to be rather tricky to have to use others recycled material to create your own art.   What I did was found a sound clip labeled street sounds and used that as my background noise and bases for my idea.  I then looked for images where this sound could be found and downloaded them onto my computer.  I created a iMovie and combined the images with the background noise that I had to show all the areas in which the sound could be found.
The six images I used include….

I then uploaded the iMovie to youtube and tagged it with MashupAssignments, MashupAssignments746 and ds106.

 

 

Assignment Details:
Recycle the Media (3 Stars)
http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/recycle-the-media/
During the Fall 2012 iteration of ds106 taught at UMW, we collected media from students that was unused in their previous work uploaded to http://dropitto.me/ds106phonar (the password was “photos4life” newly added media might take some time to be moved- we have to feed the squirrels that do this manual labor). The content was migrated to a public download site, which contains at least 150 images, audio and video http://minus.com/mvKXzhhcO.

Your task for this assignment is to mashup at least 7 different pieces of this media to make a new story, and use at least 2 different types (e.g. audio and image, imahe and video). The story most likely would be done as a video, but see if you can make these different kinds of media make sense as the content. What kind of recycled story can you make out of this cast off media?
