Lucky for me, someone has already uploaded the scene I wanted to analyze onto Youtube, so you can watch the scene here: 1. Analysis of the camera work: The scene begins with Dennis looking up at the city government building. He looks tiny compared to the building, and I believe that is intentional since he is […]

I loved Lauren’s mashup trailer for Dishonored Creed. She took two video trailers and combined them into what looks to be a really fantastic game. I don’t play video games very much since I’m not very good at them, but I do love seeing how the trailer for the games are getting more and more […]

I loved Maggie’s music video featuring clips of McNulty from The Wire with Adele’s song “Set Fire to the Rain.” I thought it was really clever since Adele’s songs are always dramatic and McNulty, himself, is a drama queen in my opinion. I loved how the emotion of the song reflected McNulty’s emotions as well, and […]

I made a music video for the song Pumped Up Kicks by Foster the People that features scenes with Omar Little from The Wire. This assignment was worth 5 stars. I found a compilation of scenes of Omar on Youtube that was originally fourteen minutes long. I downloaded it as well as downloaded the song “Pumped Up Kicks.”  Then I imported […]

For the 5 Second Film assignment worth 4.5 stars, I chose to condense the Emperor’s New Groove in 5 seconds. Originally I thought this assignment was going to be really easy, but then I discovered just how fast 5 seconds go by. Another issue I ran into was that all of the best parts of the movie […]

Jessica Claire Reingold October 27, 2014 I think I got lucky with my name…or maybe my mom is just really good with words….see my name, my first and middle name at least, flow nicely. Apparently I’m named after my aunt since her name started with a J and one of my grandma’s aunts who was […]

TDC 1019: Make a Winter Drawing

This week we had to look at the works that our classmates did that inspired us. A lot of the works that I was going to post, were posted by other people, (they beat me to it!!) but that was alright since I have definitely been inspired by more! It was also really nice to […]

What I thought was going to be straight up serious news on DS106 radio, turned out to be a dark comedy about topics that would actually show up on the news. I love how Meredith was consistently the radio host since that gave us a anchor point to go back to after the different news […]

The Great Barksdale by Maggie Stough One of Maggie’s many commercial for our radio show about product placement was a commercial for The Great Gatsby. In the show The Wire one of the main characters in season 1 and 2 talks discusses the book The Great Gatsby with the book group while in prison.  What Maggie did that inspired me so much […]

Wire 106 Radio Poster by Nicky Memita Nicky’s Wire 106 radio poster inspired me to be more daring with colors when I design my own work. The colors of the text not only work nicely together but they also work with the background and all of the colors in the background image. I love how you […]

Minimalist TV Poster by Meredith Fierro Meredith’s minimal tv poster really stood out to me first, because I love minimalism and seeing how other people tackle it, and second, because her minimalist design is bold. I love the contrast between the black and purple, as well as the white on the pills. Setting apart the drug […]

On the one hand it’s great to not have to worry about video or images when it comes to working with audio but since it’s not quite my forte I will say I am glad we are finished with the radio show. Here’s what I did this past week for week 8: Daily Create It’s […]

I used Audacity to put together all of our audio tracks. I simply downloaded the tracks from SoundCloud and then imported them in Audacity.

Division of Duties: Maggie- spearheaded the group idea, created commercials Imran- commercials, radio bumpers, dialogue […]

To make this video for the Return to the Silent Era assignment worth 5 stars I first found my trailer and downloaded it using the Firefox add-on Video DownloadHelper. I imported the trailer of Moonrise Kingdom into a video editing software called Final Cut Pro. Final Cut Pro is very similar to iMovie but it allows […]

Today is special because the tree in the courtyard has changed colors.

Since my radio show group is doing a backwards radio show, in that the main content is commercials for products in The Wire, I made one of my commercials for Kodak cameras. This also fulfills an assignment Maggie made called TV Product Placement Radio Ad, worth 2 stars. Kodak cameras were featured in Season 2 Episode 3: Hot […]

Our group is doing well. We have our Google Doc that everyone seems to be checking, and we have divided up some of the work so far. We seem to be having trouble finding a time when everyone is free since we are all busy with classes and work. This would be the one time […]

Each week is a new challenge using different […]

Group Work This week our group set up a Google Doc where we have our idea written down for our radio show, and where we have the division of duties for this past week. Since our radio show is backwards, in that the show is the product commercials and the breaks are when music is […]

I did the assignment called Sound Scapes, worth 4.5 stars. I used Audacity as my sound editor and FreeSound as my source for the sounds. I also used an app recommended by SoundCloud called AudioCopy in order to record the ITCC elevator on my iPhone and then directly upload it to SoundCloud. So what I did […]

Since Halloween is this month, I decided to create an assignment, worth 3 stars called Spooky Sounds. For this assignment you have to make an audio track using found sounds or your own recordings that is creepy, spooky, scary, halloween-inspired and make it more than a minute long so we have time to get scared! I […]
