You will not regret taking DS106. Do not drop this class! It may seem like it is going to be too much work at first, but it is fun. When I first received the email from Professor Bond warning us about the class, I will admit, I almost dropped it since it is my last semester. I read the advice from past students and it made me feel a little bit better about this class. The first week was intimidating...

November 29, 2017

For this week I brainstormed and partly began my final project. Even though we knew about this project last week, I was way to busy getting things done for other classes so this one was on the back burner. This was also one of the last things I have done this week because I couldn’t think of what to do. At first I really loved the idea of how my superhero represents myself but I could not think of how...

November 13, 2017

I am going to do a tutorial for the mashup assignment, 2 Movies, 1 Line. This is only really for Mac users with iMovie. After spending a lot of time struggling to learn other video makers, I discovered that I could do a lot with iMovie and it is simple. So this tutorial is for a easy combining of 2 videos into 1. Find the 2 clips you would like to use. In my case, I found a video of Suicide...

10 Second Song Mashup – 3.5 Stars For this assignment I had to chose some songs and do a mashup of just 2 seconds of each song to see if you can guess the songs. I chose all pop/upbeat songs for this assignment. I also chose songs that I feel like sound kind of similar. Try and see how many you can get right! I made this song mashup using GarageBand. Some reason when you convert from Garageband to iTunes it...

Photo Mash-Remixed Pollack Style – 6 Stars This assignment is one that I did awhile back where I had to take 2 people from different movies and make them look like they are in the same scene. Since we had to use one art piece that we had done earlier this semester and remix it, I chose this one because it was my favorite. The remix button told me to make it have the visual of Jackson Pollack art. At first...

This Doesn’t Belong Here – Mustache Remix – 5 Stars For this assignment I had to take 2 images from 2 different movies and mash them into 1 scene. I chose the Delorean from Back to the Future and the Millennium Falcon from Star Wars. I chose these 2 images because in Back to the Future they have traveled to different places and different universes so I figured it would be cool to pair these 2 together to show that the...

Since she is a super chef, I decided to tell a story with her favorite appliance. A convection oven.

2 Minute Silent Documentary – 4.5 Stars For this assignment I had to make a 2 minute silent documentary about something. I chose to wrap my superhero into this assignment. This is Merciful Mise en Place and her double chocolate chip cookies. This assignment works great for her because of her fast baking skills.

This week was not what I had expected! I expected this to be one of the worst weeks because I do not like making videos but so far I feel like it was the best. It was great to learn about the cinematic effects that film makers use. I will now not be able to watch a movie without thinking about these concepts. I know the assignment you said would be more videos next week if we don’t do the...

November 3, 2017

For my video essay assignment I chose to use a scene from Suicide Squad that really stood out to me. It stood out the most because of the use of cinematic effects that are presented in it. At first I was worried about this assignment because I know nothing about film but after reading the articles and watching the clips, I felt a bit more comfortable. I learned a lot about: Reverse shots and how to film dialogue inside the...

Six Second Art – 4 stars For this assignment I had to make some art in 6 seconds. I thought it would be easy but quickly realized that I was wrong. I am not good at art and it is really hard to do something in 6 seconds. Time flies!! I did this about 15 times with different drawings but I was taking too long. I finally ended up drawing a butterfly. I did not enjoy this assignment at all!...

He recorded the folding from above me to make sure I got everything in the shot clearly. I uploaded it to iMovie, added music,...

It was kind of strange at first just videoing my legs/feet but then it got neat because I would go different places and change my clothes/shoes. I did this on Sunday when I visited family members in Glen Allen, VA. My goal was to video every hour but I kept forgetting. I chose to use snapchat to video through because...

I chose 10 different colors and designs...

For this web story telling assignment I decided to use my super hero. She loves her chef jacket and wanted to share it with the world at an affordable (for what you get) price. She sells the chef jacket that she wears on Amazon.com. This is a fashionable yet safe piece of clothing. It doesn’t burn, it is quick dry, cools fast, and can’t be cut through. The kitchen can be a dangerous place so this is a must have...

I have class Tuesday nights so I tuned into DS106 Radio Monday night. I got to hear my group’s show, Sweet n Sour, and SCARR Network. It was really different listening to these on the radio. I edited my group’s show so I heard it many of times, but it seemed so much better on the actual radio. SCARR Network was really interesting to listen to. There were parts that were hard to hear even with my sound all the...

Way Back Time Machine – 2.5 Stars This assignment asked me to find a website and see how it has changed over time for better or for worse. I chose to use YouTube for my example. I knew YouTube has been around for awhile, but I never knew it was around in 2005. I used a screenshot from 2005 and from 2017. They are completely different! The only thing that hasn’t changed would be the YouTube Logo. I definitely like the...

She uses them to promote herself, give cooking tips, and update friends/family/fans on what she has been up to! Twitter- She uses Twitter to attract the younger generation. This...
