Step 2: Using whatever resources you have at your disposal, create a template for a newspaper.
Step 3: Write a up a story that would …
I read Roger Eberts “how to read a movie” first, it was pretty informative. I grew up watching his show on weekend mornings (with Jean Siskel), so I was happy to read more and get a feel for how he started to read or give opinions on films he watched. …
I thought this 5 star project would be fun. Turns out it wasn’t, I encountered all sorts of downloading, copyright issues etc. I had to splice pictures in sequence, in an effort to try to tell a story from beginning to end (from taking the field to the final whistle).…
I remember watching this movie for the first time when I was 13. Unfortunately my grandma just passed away. My big sister, brother and I got to stay home all week from school. I remember going to the video store to get some movies to kill the time during the …
My first go around at college I had a roommate who was a undergrad film student at UT. Prior to living with her I never really looked at movies abstractly. Meaning in my opinion I never thought about why a film made me feel, think a certain way or empathize. …

Ira and Jad had the same philosophy towards story telling. They both liked to have a sequence to their story with limited jumping around in time. In my …
1700 words were aded to the Merrium Webster Unabridged Dictionary in 2015. Can you use all of these in one semi-coherent piece of writing? emoji, wtf, nsfw (“not safe for work”; example is porn), net neutrality, click bait, click fraud, photo bomb, crema, chilaquiles, colony collapse disorder.
I saw the …
I listened to “Remember the Baby”, “Failing”, and “Third Party”. Here are some comments I have about them:
Remember the Baby, was pretty strange. The music was kind of overbearing to the actual events. Its starts with an aunt watching her niece who won’t stop crying. She is being hounded …
After listening to Ira and Jad, I was able to connect the dots as to why I thought a movie was bad and why I thought a movie was good (all things being even). All things being even, meaning the thesis of the film was decent, Ira pointed out regarding …
Whoa, this week was much harder than the last. I do not feel to great about my assignments, but I do feel they were adequate. I completed what I thought I would, those being the Blitz, Daily’s, and the Assignments. I knew I would have trouble with the gifs, and …
This design blitz was patched together with one existing and 4 photos I took. I watched videos to learn exactly what I should keep an eye out for (aside from the definitions of the concepts), essentially it came down to what I see through the screen/lens. That said I interpreted …
This assignment called for a picture that captured 3 objects that were in the second picture. I was able to find Atari games, a VCR and an antique TV stand. One object had to be in another, in the top pic you have a Duck hunt game in the Nintendo …
Wanted LJ Galvan for assisting in the brutal beating
of Team Atlanta in the finals.
Wanted Rick P. for the aiding and abetting the massacre that took place in Panama City two summers ago.
Wanted Chris H. for slaughtering the ball over 15 times in 10 …
Mondays bring the out the worst in most
I however feel they bring possibilities
Most feel groggy and annoyed
I feel energized and joy that I have a brand new week
In the fall, I have Monday night football,
the spring brings my favorite shows on AMC
Yep, I don’t …
You ever dredge up a memory from ages ago that suddenly demands to be a poem?
Sure, I’ll call it “Senior year”.
I thought I cared about all the moments we shared
I prayed at night we would always be
then summer break came along
those memories I revered didn’t …
That’s simple, I would pick up a news paper and read about what happened yesterday rather than 2 minutes ago (like on the net).
I would also turn on the radio, my parents say that was the cool thing to do back in the 50s and 60s, so I’d give …
I felt decent about what I did in week 1. Then I received my grade and did some reviewing of my work and realized I dropped the ball completely. Luckily I met with Dr. Polack and she encouraged me redo some of the things I left out in week one …
Here is a pic of two french children exchanging their first gift to each other. Around this time they begin to play a game that they can only say “game” too. Meaning they have to say yes I am game to do that. Essentially it is truth or dare with …
The place of this safari was off Braddock road in Fairfax, at the Sealock Athletic complex. I spend a great deal of time here umpiring or playing softball. Not a whole lot of invention took place on my part, I did what I could with my iphone, I feel like …
After seeing the trailer to this particular movie, I figured I pretty much summed up the gist of it and there was no reason for me to watch it.
The trailer starts with a slightly geeky but attractive female bumbling here way through the scene and catching the eye of …
Years ago I took photo J. Using a 35 mm camera I learned the ins and outs of how to adjust for light in take through shutter speed manipulation etc. But I did not ever take a picture with the intent of passing on knowledge through that image.I dropped that …
