The next assignment that I worked on was to combine three photos of my brother in a timeline. I did a before, during, and after of his graduation. I saved the three photos onto my computer and then went into MSPaint. I put the photos onto one page and then changed the sizes so that […]
This week, I will be using a bunch of different media in order to create a cohesive story. Since my brother just graduated high school, I have decided to center my story about his graduation and his future. I have picked four different mini-project for me to work on in order to create this story. […]
For my last assignment for video week, I chose to do a product review. I will admit that I had no idea what I was going to do. I looked around my house and found my glasses cleaner and immediately had some funny uses for it. I recorded my video which I wanted to be […]
For my next assignment, I chose the 60 second day video narrative. This was really difficult because I do not do much on a daily basis. I kind of just sit and do nothing all day, but luckily my brother is graduating high school tomorrow so I had a little bit more content. I went […]
For my next video assignment, I decided to use a bunch of photos of my dog Jynx to create a small montage of his greatness. I found that the photos app on my PC has a video editor and wanted to see if I could use it in order to complete this project. I compiled […]
For the start of my video assignments, I decided to create a reaction video. I use Recactus to record the video. I wanted to use my nursery rhyme Wee Willie Winkie as the content that I reacted to. My reaction to the video was unexpected because while I knew the rhyme was creepy, adding video […]
To start off video week I did my two daily creates. They allowed me to create a story around photos that I took. Then I read Roger Ebert’s article about reading a movie. It was really interesting because it gave me a new perspective on viewing movies. Then I watched some videos about […]
The first video that I watched was “Hitchcock Loves Bikinis,” in it Hitchcock spoke about how the same expression can be changed into different emotions depending on the footage surrounding it. This shows how important context in movies are. Subtle things such as this can influence how the audience views a character The next video […]
In Roger Ebert’s How to read a movie, he makes connections to something that we discussed during the first week of class. He talked about the importance of the rule of thirds. He says that having a character on the left side of the screen is dominated by the person on the right. I think […]
For audio week, I had to learn an entirely new program called Audacity. The daily creates that I did had no audio aspect involved but they were really fun. The first assignment that I did allowed me to create a story out of sound effects. The alien abduction story could very well happen in my […]
For this assignment I wanted to create a normal day in the life of the uncolonized American. I wanted to see what the world would be like if Europe never colonized the rest of the world. I did some research about what the Iroquois ate and enjoyed in order to create a story around it. […]
For my sound effects assignment, I wanted to create an alien story. The process was actually really difficult for me. I had found some cool sound effects online that I wanted to use but I could not figure out how to use them within Audacity. I wanted to add the effects to the effects that […]
To kick off the first half of audio week I did some daily creates that allowed me to put visuals to words. I then looked at different aspects of audio. I will admit that I was overwhelmed with all of the different programs and ideas that go into perfected audio, but I was also ready […]
I absolutely loved Moon Graffiti, the story itself poses an interesting what if question. The sounds add to the realistic nature of the story being told. The spacey music layered with the beeps of machines make if seem as though it actually happened. The quick sharp sounds add to the level of fear with the […]
