This is mashup assignment 746, “Recycle the Media” is it worth 3 stars. The assignment read:
“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?”
This assignment was kind of difficult. There wasn’t as much recycled media as I thought there would be, but I made it work with what I had. I created a short (extremely short) story about walking on a beach and forgetting my sunglasses. I walked back to the hotel (alone) where the Joker was waiting for me.
First, I downloaded all of the media I wanted to use for my story. I copied all 9 pieces (3 audio, 6 photos) to Windows Movie maker. (The Joker was supposed to be a GIF but he wasn’t being very cooperative.) I played around with the timing of the photos and audio and then I added a caption to each photo so you would have some idea what is happening. I hope you enjoy it! I know it isn’t the most entertaining thing you’ve ever watched.
