These past two weeks have focused on Remixes and Mashups.  I did not know exactly what these were at first, but some reading and examples helped me out:

Everything is a Remix is a four part series by Kirby Ferguson and also RiP: A Remix Manifesto a documentary by Brett Gaylor on remix culture featuring the work of Girl Talk.

Comic Strips Mashups and this one Barack Obama Singing Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen (suggested bv ds106 student Amber R) and also this Slagsmålsklubben – Sponsored by destiny a clever retelling of Little Red Riding Hood in a modern form.

If you still aren’t sure, check this out!

My “Post-Photographic Portrait” is mainly picture based.  I used more than one of the original photos.  After looking at examples and books the author wrote I came up with a short poetic film.  By adding text and music into movie maker I tried to get a story across that said the author has many side “faces” and times time to come up with different ideas and place that take others away.  There are many different books and thoughts that all all stored in the same place which kind of creates organized chaos.

The remix in popcorn was interesting.  I was able to follow along and figure out what I needed to add.  At certain points I had a hard time getting what I wanted to include to work.  Shifting some of the clips and time slots around were annoying.  I am sending my professor to the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Canada.  It is a place I would love to go to and had fun making. It included a variety of mediums and tools to do.  It made me feel like I actually knew what was going on.

My recycled media included specifically picked out photos and then a lot of editing and adding of my own.  I have a little girl talking about a post card her friend sent her from Disney World!

My remix in the Remix Generator was the create a I HATE the Letter “F” collage and then hide waldo from Where’s Waldo into it.  I wish this one had come out better, but I think for what the assignment was and how I went about it it was okay:

    • I completed 6 stars worth of assignments this week along with the other assignments we had to do.  4 stars came from Actor Transformation and the other 2 stars came from Mashup Those Movies.
    • I had fun with the Actor one because I was able to go through years of one actresses film production and how they have changed as a professional and as a person.  Lindsay Lohan has a much bigger story than this mashup shows, but it was nice to look at some of the movies I have seen and put them together into one “life”.

  • The mashup was more of a visual assignment than aduio like most of the others.  I took the movie posters of Jaws and The Hunger Games and put the two together into a humor poster of its own.  I liked the irony and pun I was able to create.

My FINAL PROJECT is to come.  Get excited!
