I was tasked with reviewing at least two of the references on the concepts and analyzing at least 3 examples. The following is my understanding of a remix. Remix References First I watched Everything is a Remix (Part 1). WOW!! I really loved this video… I’ll admit to watching it three times.. I just got more information out of it every time I re-watched it… HIPHOP! I probably should’ve done this assignment with it… haha. I didn’t realize the common remixes I come into contact with in every day life! SO AWESOME(: This video showed a lot of entertainment remixes. The video was entertaining as well as informative.

Weeks 11 & 12 Video Assignments, were a LOT of fun!! I really enjoyed my two weeks of video editing. I started with the assignments on day one but put them all as draft blog posts.

I really just enjoyed making videos and I feel like I will be making a lot more of them in my spare time. (: 17 Stars worth of Video … Continue reading →

Video Lyric Assignment with a Twistt. I took a short section of my current favorite song, and turned the song into a music video using only lyrics. Man oh man this video assignment took a lot of work but it was definitely my favorite one of them all. Taylor Swift’s hit single, We are never getting back together, is playing in my car pretty much daily so I thought it was only fair to use her song for my video week. I choose to do all still pictures for this assignment. I first thought of the idea to use sharpies and hands.. it’s kinda my thing. I then took a … Continue reading →

For another video assignment for these two weeks of DS106 I decided to try out A Word… A Picture… A Story. It’s worth 3 stars. I had a lot of fun doing this assignment, I chose a random 10 words. I then did a Google image search on these words and chose the first visible photos. I then had the challenge of combining them into a story. I first uploaded the 10 images into Window Live Movie Maker. I then messed with slide transitions, music, timing, slide animations, and captions! So much editing.. so little time..  This assignment proved to be a lot of simple tasks all rolled into one. … Continue reading →

Exploring a Great Movie Scene summary(: 3 interesting bits of information about the making of the movie: The movie, My Best Friend’s Girl, is listed as a comedy and romance for its genre.at IMDb Film genres http://www.imdb.com/genre. Title is ta...

I reviewed the trailer for My Best Friend’s Girl three times: Step One: “Before watching the first time, slide the volume on the clip (or on your computer) all the way down.” I watched the clip on mute. Man oh man was this trailer entertaining without the volume.  The first scene is of a couple and it’s panned back and forth between. This accounts for showing their different expressions, very adapt way of showing both the full conversation and the emotions/reactions of each character. The next scene shows the relationship of what looks like either two friends or two brothers. The quality of their relationship it shown through the characters … Continue reading →

I really enjoyed reading, Roger Ebert’s “How to Read a Movie” it gave me great insight and motivation for this week. I found the bit about a two-shot most interesting: “the person on the right will “seem” dominant over the person on the left. I watched the following 5 videos, “To get an appreciation for some of the power of cinematic techniques,” Some were funny while others were just flat-out informative(: Top 20 Cinematic Techniques http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3EnnBDgMwwI am glad that I watched this one first. I really liked that they labeled each scene in the sense of telling me exactly what to look for. Camera Angles and Techniques http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jURepXxuiGEThis video was interesting. The … Continue reading →

WOW! I had a lot of fun with anagahama’s audio assignment called Multipersonality! [4/10] For this audio assignment,you had to pretend that you are three to four persons having a regular conversation. I picked a dinner time scenario because that is what is most familar to me, because I try to be home for most family dinners. For my assignment I used a country gal, her dazed father, and her uptight cranky mother. I had a lot of fun with this. I had to edit a lot out because of laughter but other than that I was able to cut enough to make it work. I hope you enjoy the … Continue reading →
