Title: Ask a femme fatale Tagline: Find out what you are dying to know. Premise: Mostly men but some women will call in and ask questions about supposed femme fatales in their lives. Sample questions could be Will she ever settle down? Would she really murder her husband for me? Why isn’t she happy to […]

The Daily Creates for this week were to caption a picture of a puppy and to create a fun car!

Sound Effects Story(3 and a half stars) Melody Bay is walking the beach to clear her mind when someone just cant take a hint.

Whew! I made it! This week was a breathe of fresh air after the non-stop writing of last week. First thing I did was my visual assignments, because they were the most new and exciting! I loved getting into the mind of my character, Melody, and really thinking about things in her perspective. http://sayheyjanaye.com/assignments/poetry-art/ http://sayheyjanaye.com/assignments/whats-in-your-bag/ […]

First up! Killer’s Kiss This shot uses the shadow and lighting to draw the viewers eye towards Gloria. This cinematography forces the viewer to have the same line of vision. This shot is the perfect example of a noir cityscape with the fog giving an ominous mood setting. This shot uses the shadow and to […]

I TAKE ALOT OF PHOTOS. Mostly of my face, and mostly on snapchat. So they disappear in less than 10 seconds. My approach is one of two things; its either how attractive can I make myself look or how unattractive can I make myself look. Sometimes I try to capture how upset I am over […]

I was finally able to use my tablet drawing pad for a class! Enjoy my drawing of a happy face!

This a collage of all my pics! I had so much fun going downtown with my friends to look for noir concepts in everyday life! Below we have the noir cat, dramatic use of distinct shadows, lighting from one side, sense of drama and/or moodiness, characters captured in a tableau suggesting an intense, fraught moment, […]

(3 stars) I found this poem awhile ago on tumblr and it really spoke to me. Emotions for me are hard to explain. I know what I am feeling, but when it comes time to explain it with words my mind goes blank.

I want to kiss the ground and run outside and hug some trees because this week is O-V-E-R. It wasn’t the readings that made this week rough(they were actually great) it was the writing! Creative writing makes me itch, but I am proud of myself because I, Janaye Evans, can now say that I created […]

It cost a little money. I dyed my hair blond, leaving the roots. I went to a high end hair dresser. I told her to straighten it and make it shiny. When she was done my hair like a puddle of oil; it was smooth and reflective. Then I went to East Dallas to get […]

The Killers was not what I expected. The most I got out of it was the cultural implications about organized crime and Prohibition. Which I suppose are important settings in noir now that I think about it. In the beginning I believed that all they were looking for was alcohol(completely ignoring the title) and was […]

My yodel which I am SO SO SO SO SO PROUD OF! My cat playing the synthesizer in SPACE The basic eye selfie

W O W After finishing this story I stared at my computer screen for several seconds before jumping up in frustration. I am still unsure as to whether or not I enjoyed that noir reading but I do know that it kept me mildly interested throughout. ESPECIALLLY when they were coming up with their murder […]

(2 and a half stars)http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/short-story-with-random-words-and-animals/ This assignment asks for us to use a random word generator to create a story with the use of animals and ten random words.
