    20 minute Photoblitz!

    by
    Take a photo using a camera setting that you are unfamiliar with. Take a photo of an object that represents how old you feel. Numbers are all around you. Find your favorite number. Take a photo depicting the weather. The edge of a knife, the waters edge, or some other edge. They’re all around. Make … Continue reading

    Design A Creepy Photo

    by
    I actually find this really creepy. For me, I do not find gory things creepy. Heck, I don’t even think that “creepy” faces are that creepy. If i was walking around the woods and I spotted that in the distance, I would crap my pants and turn and run, never looking back.

    Reflect on Cinematography

    by
    Instead of reviewing one of the listed movies on the website, I decided to take it another direction and go with “Paranormal Activity.” This movie is literally all about catching people off guard. Very scary, and it was a very cheap production. The jittery film cost around $15,000 to produce, and brought in just around … Continue reading

    Photography Thoughts

    by
    I’ve always found photography interesting, I feel that if you can take the photo right, you can take a piece of the memory and the feeling along with the shot. At least that is kind of where I stand. Let me go over my upbringing a bit, and then I will talk about how that … Continue reading

    When And Where You Want To Live

    by
    Assignment name: When And Where You Want To Live Stars: 2.5 Assignment Link This assignment is pretty neat.

    Hello, everybody! I want to formally introduce you to my new host character, Cousin Eddie! Welcome to the show, Eddie! Yes, he may look goofy. And yes, every time Catherine revved up the microwave, he’d piss his pants and forget who he was for about half an hour or so. BUT, don’t let that fool … Continue reading

    Video Response and Phobia

    by
    I watched the video “Amelia.” Horribly cheesy, horribly. But that’s what you get for a horror movie that was shot in 1975. I think these kind of videos are good to watch, because it shows just how far we’ve came. In those days of filming, there wasn’t many visual effects. Nowadays, that is what makes […]

    Scuuurrrryy Stories!

    by
    So I’m not really good at telling stories, but I am going to link to my all time favorite scary story. This short story is called “Harold.” Every year around Halloween when I was in grade school, my teacher would drop the blinds, turn all the lights off and read stories from this book. Ever […]

    Research paper Physical Data

    by
    This is the data from my survey: What is you age? What is your gender? Which of the following best describes your current relationship status? What is your major?

    Annotated Bib. Research Paper

    by
    Turn on the computer, open an internet browser and go straight to Facebook or some form of social media. It is a routine that most of us are probably familiar with. Over the past five years or so, all sorts of social media platforms have been taking over our browsing time, and even time spent […]

    Class-led discussions/Research Paper

    by
    The semester is coming to a close, and only 4 of us have led classroom discussions. I think this is kind of a cool strategy for this class. Yeah, most people don’t want to get up and talk in front of the classroom… but get over it. Here are a few reasons why I actually […]

    Breaks and Stuff

    by
    It’s amazing what a little bit of a break can do to the human mind. In good ways and in bad ways. For me, Spring Break was relaxing. It was a time for me to get back into the gear of school and ready to pound out the rest of the semester. In Social Media […]
