    I enjoyed this week, as I mentioned in a previous blog post… I have often made commentary to myself while watching movies about the effects used. This weeks lesson gave those prior “effects” meaning and names. I learned about all of the different techniques that go into making a film. Prior …

    You want me to READ a MOVIE ?!

    June 11, 2016
    I had never directly thought about reading a movie… not intentionally anyway. In the past I have found myself to critique angles or lighting used but never to pay them too much mind. Sort of like a quick mental note to myself. From reading Roger Ebert’s How to read a …

    June 10, 2016
    I’ve used iMovie in the past, maybe about 4 years ago. When I opened the application it was as if I’ve never used it… I was completely lost. After a few hours of playing around with it I finally semi figured it out. Here’s how I did it… Hopefully this …

    June 5, 2016
    If your a slightly shy person like myself I suggest you give this audio assignment a shot. Here’s the steps I took to create this. First I began by going to YouTube to look for some background music. I simply typed in “up beat music instrumentals”. I listened to a couple …

    OK! So this assignment, though somewhat easy, was out of my league. The audio assignment was to create a “bright and cheery” good morning message for your community. I am a slightly shy person, so public good morning messages to an entire community isn’t something I’d normally do…which is why …

    For this audio assignment I used two different sites, YouTube & SoundCloud. The steps were honestly pretty simple. Let me show you! I started off by first finding the video of  the song on YouTube. Once I found it, I headed over to  SoundCloud to record what it means to …

    So for this weeks listening to stories assignment, I decided to listen to Getting Away With It from This American Life. I chose this mainly because I am a fan of the show I Almost Got Away With It, so I figured this segment should contain some pretty interesting stories. …

    Taking advice from The Vignelli Canon

    May 27, 2016
    I found the booklet by Vignelli to be very informative and helpful. In the begging he brings up the term semantics, I had never heard of this term before. I found the term to be interesting because when I look at designs, I don’t necessarily think to understand all aspects …
