Well, I gotta say, it was a fun ride. I tried a lot of new things. I was even a murderer and a lady thief in two different cases. But, I’ve got a good team right here, so I don’t think I’ll be working with any ds106 friends for this final assignment. I’ll work hard...

This week was a mix of easy and complicated. For this week, we had the choice of completing video assignments or making a video show with groups. Some of my radio show group decided we would make a video show. We met a lot on twitter and Google Docs to discuss ideas and finally picked...

4 out of the 6 people in my radio show group including myself decided we wanted to create some sort of video show. We had all sorts of ideas lined up but at the end we found one. We had a lot of interaction on twitter and Google Docs to go over our ideas and...

For the video essay assignment, I decided to watch the movie Notorious by Alfred Hitchcock. For my video essay, I focused on the scene when Grant tells Bergman about the about his plan to have her seduce one of her past acquaintances. I read through Roger Ebert’s How to read a movie. I concentrated my...

Yesterday, we were asked to create a poem about the rain and today we were asked to read out the poem. My poem is called Remember to Look for the Umbrellas. The poem is about my tendency to forget to look outside to see people carrying umbrellas. The window in my room is at an...

My group’s radio show was played on Thursday this week. Me and two or three of my members were active on twitter during the show so we saw a lot of thoughts about it. I was a part of the Skype call with the Professors and I was nervous at first. I don’t do the...

On Thursday night, I listen in on the radio show, the Noir Buzz. The basis of the show was an interview with an actress about a film she is in. There is a mix between interviews with her and scenes from what I thought was supposed to be the movie she was in. The show...

Remember to Look for the Umbrellas! It’s dreary outside, It caught me by surprise while I was walking outside to class the droplets pass by me and fall on my sweater and as I was walking it only got wetter If only I had looked outside the window before going to class So, we were...

I had a lot of stuff to do at the beginning of this week. I had a major paper on Monday, and I was turning 21 on Tuesday. Tuesday also involved a Midterm and a class field trip to DC to see a play. Both things were for the same class. Needless to say, it...

You’re Not Going to Say Anything? I picked this one because it was my first time looking at his work. I liked this a lot because it was just a daily create and it looked like he put a lot of work into it. For the daily create, people were supposed to create a picture...

This one was fun to make. I did it in the writing of a group I created called Aquia Maxius. The group is anonymous and put my character in a bunch of crazy situations. I thought it would be fun to use them for a ransom note. I completed it by taking a random background...

As a kid, my party trick was telling people I could draw the head of a cartoon character from Camp Lazlo. I was able to draw Lazlo’s head but never the rest of his body. So, I decided to go back in time for this daily create and teach people how to draw his head....

On Thursday, I listened to the NOIR not the father radio show. I liked it a lot. It was a Jerry Springer type of show with a noir mix to it. The students’ characters were fighting about who was the father of a child and one character was very adamant about taking as many tests...

Butler: Yes, I was the one who did it. Everyone just look past me. No one ever cares. The Lawyer would just pass me by. He never cared. He only wanted my services and nothing more. So, yeah I killed your dear friends. And I don’t feel any remorse at all. They all deserved it....

Lukas had been so bored for the last couple days. Mack’s gang hadn’t been as active as they had been the previous weeks and there were no other notes detailing new missions. So, what could he do? The local bookstore was open and he decided he would read some book from the 1940s. Maybe he...

This is the Who Called? assignments that is 4 points. I collaborated with Sharla and her character Mack. She has the first half of the conversation and I’m the second part. I did a previous assignment with her character, but this one is slightly different. In this one, Lukas isn’t trying to catch Mack but...

Story Time: 2015 Nicolette was done with Lukas’s shit. She needed the money and he was unresponsive. For the past two weeks, she had been calling him non-stop. See, she did a hacking job for him. He gave her the job and told her not to ask any questions. So, she followed his instructions but...

Story: Lukas Jones was running as fast as he could. Pushing people in the crowd aside. He was chasing a criminal named Mack. Mack had just robbed the local bank and had escaped with a large wad of cash. Earlier that day, Lukas had gotten a note telling him that he would have to stop...

Dirty Mouth? Clean It With a Biscuit? For this assignment, Kelsey and Mia collaborated. The acting was really well done and they only did it in two takes. The writing was really good. I like how they expanded on their radio story. I was inspired by how well they edited the audio and mixed all...

The Dangers of Undiagnosed Schizophrenia I was looking through posts to comment on and I found Lesya’s. She was doing a character collaboration and she was playing another person’s character. Her and her friend’s acting was amazing and the video editing looked like to took a while. The writing was also very typical noir which...

Stories Through Song: The Sebastian Crane Modern Music Tag I like Janelle’s work a lot because everything seems like she spent a lot of time on it. She always seems to think of a different and creative way to approach an assignment. This one was especially good because of the work she put into it....

This week we were asked to comment on at least 10 others post like the previous couple of weeks. I looked at recent posts and ones from this week. I found a lot of inspiration in everyone’s posts. I loved seeing the creativity of my fellow students. The assignments looked like they had a lot...

For the daily create for Wednesday, we were supposed to create a picture of what was the best memory from this week. My 21st birthday happened Tuesday. I didn’t really celebrate on the actual day because of a midterm I had to take and a play I had to go to in DC for the...

Even though I didn’t have to do as much stuff as the previous weeks, this week seemed to be more hectic. This week involved a lot of radio show progress and a lot of changes in the show. We started out with a America’s Most Wanted Idea and then went to an easier Clue idea....

Week 6 At the beginning of week 6, I had a hard time finding a group at the beginning of last week but I eventually found a group of about six members. We met on the Saturday of that week and came up with a America’s Most Wanted concept. We included our characters and it...

This week we were supposed to comment on ten more posts, like last week. I chose some posts from last week as well as daily creates this week. There wasn’t much new things because this week was very radio show heavy, so I thought it would be fun to explore assignments I hadn’t seen yet....

For the daily create for Saturday, we were asked to make a heel out of something. There were a lot of things around the house I could have used but I wanted to do something I that I hadn’t seen others doing. I chose to fold one of my towels and make it into a...

For my daily create on Friday, we were supposed to edit a picture to make it blue and orange. I took a picture from my noir safari a couple weeks ago. I made the parts where the lights hit, blue and the rest of the picture orange. I put my photo in fotoflexer and edited...

For Thursday’s daily create, we were supposed to make a picture of what ds106 would look like in deep space. I wanted to show the students flying away with the school. The school is at the bottom and everyone from the class is going on a journey with the school.

This week was way less stressful than last week. Out of everything we have done so far, the audio has to be the easiest for me. I’ve gotten used to working with Audacity and am learning new things as I go. Having a week of audio before was really helpful in some of the stuff...
