WHOAH! I can’t believe my final story is up and running {like I will be right after I post this :)}. I worked so hard on this project all week. I wanted to post all of the stories’ components at once, to not give anything away :)
I had so …
Hey everyone!
My name is Sabrina Spellman. I’m just your normal everyday teenager. Except for the fact that I found out I’m a witch on my sixteenth birthday. But no one knows, not even my best friend Valerie. Yeah. My life is kind of crazy. I love just about everything …
For the fourth piece of the story, I chose to do the Say it Like Peanut Butter {***} visual assignment. For this assignment, you had to take a clip from a movie or show and turn it into an animated GIF. This assignment is going to show Sabrina’s revenge …
For my first assignment for this final project, I chose to do Storytelling within the Web {*****}. I wanted to introduce my character to people who have not seen the show, Sabrina the Teenage Witch. I thought of different ways of doing this but showing y’all her Pinterest board…
For my third assignment for this final project, I chose to do Storytelling within the Web {*****} again. The reason I chose to do this assignment again was because I wanted to show how Sabrina reacted to Libby’s attempt to blackmail her. She obviously is going to seek revenge…I wanted …
For my last assignment of this final story was the Where Are They Now? {**} video assignment. I wanted to show everyone where the characters of this final story ended up. What changed, who changed, who stayed the same?? You’ll learn it all now :) I just hate when people …

These past two weeks, we have worked with remix and mashup. I have learned a lot about what remix is. I have found that explaining something to someone else is the best way to comprehend and show comprehension. I explained remix to my best friend, Allison. Read my post about …
I can honestly say that I have put off this last assignment like no other! I don’t know why…maybe because this is my LAST WEEK of classes as an undergrad!!!! That could have been it…
The For The Remix assignment had DS students use pictures that Jonathan Worth’s website of …
For my other mashup assignment, I chose to do Actor Transformation {****}. You always see actors/actresses on television and movies that you say “wow, they have really grown up”. When I was reading this assignment’s details, one actress came to my mind. Miley Cyrus.
I wanted my transformation video …
For this class, we had to create two tutorials and two assignments.
Based on the advice from previous DS students, I created my tutorials throughout the semester. The previous DS students advised us to do the tutorials when you do the assignment. That way, you’re not having to redo an …

The assignment is called Connected Clips. I rated this assignment …
For one of my mashup assignments, I wanted to do the What Color is Your World {**}. I always feel like the color yellow is a color that is forever in my life. Also, yellow is proven to make people happier. I don’t know how it’s proven or where the …
For remix/mashup week, we had to remix an already existing piece of media from a DS assignment and use a remix card to make it our own. To remix it. In order to do this, you have to click the remix it button on the website.
So when I generated …
One assignment we had to do this week was the Recycle the Media. This assignment did not count towards our six stars of mashup/remix that we need for these two weeks.
A couple of weeks ago, each DSer had to submit three pieces of media that they had but …
One tool that was suggested to us when remixing and mash-uping was Mozilla Popcorn Maker. In order to experiment with this, Alan created a video for us to remix. He left spaces open where we could add new media. Here is the video:
Yeah. I know, funny.
I was …
To start off the remix and mashup weeks, we had to review two references and three examples of what remix is. This was one of the first things I did for the remix and mashup weeks’ checklist. I did this first because I needed a clearer understanding of what …
We’re already thinking about the final project?? Really? Where has the semester gone?
I did a lot of brainstorming of who I wanted to base my final project around. I thought of all of my favorite shows and my favorite characters in those shows. I then narrowed it down …
These two weeks of video have been a-maz-ing. I am obsessed with creating videos!!! This is definitely something that I will do even when I am not in DS106. Although, I don’t even want to think of that right now.
We had to complete sixteen stars worth of video assignments …
For my last video assignment, I wanted to really challenge myself. I decided to do the Return to the Silent Era {*****} assignment.
Since we first heard about our final projects, I wanted to make my last video assignment so it could tie into my final project character. There …
Remember when I posted about creating foley sounds for the Charlie Chapman video? Well, one of our assignments for this two weeks of video was to do something with those sound clips. This is the Charlie Chapman Foley Artist assignment, and everyone had to do it. It did not …
I was browsing through the video assignments in the DS assignment bank and came across Watching Movies with the Stereo On {***}. I always feel like certain songs go with certain clips in movies – this assignment was perfect for me! I knew just what I was going to do.…
For my next video assignment, I chose to create a Music Video {****}. For this assignment, I had to pick a couple of scenes from a movie and add a song that complements the scenes.
I chose the movie 127 Hours for my music video. If you have not seen …
The other assignment that I planned during week 9 was YOLO is the Motto {**}. Oh man. This was fun. First watch my video, then I will explain everything to you. ENJOY :)
YOLO. You Only Live Once. This is something we hear all the time. Does anyone know what …
For the first video assignment, I chose Where Are They Now? {**}. During week 9, I planned this assignment out so all I had to do was create it! I based this assignment from the movie The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants. Here is the finished product:

Tuesday’s DC – Rewrite a classic movie scene so that it’s plot is related to DS 106. {submitted by yours truly :)}

ALLIE: …
Before we start video week next week, which I am kinda looking forward to, we had to pick some assignments that look interesting to us. When I was on this week’s DS 106 show – Reading Movies, we talked about how time consuming making and creating video assignments are. …
All films are categorized into different genres. A genre is what type of movie it is. For example, if your friend said “let’s go see The Notebook” you would say “no, that’s a chick flick…I don’t want to” {but who would say that about The Notebook?? :)} A …
