This week we learned about remixes and mashups. It was difficult to distinguish the two at times. It seemed like mashups were combining multiple things without changing them too much and a remix was a deeper transformation of the original pieces. After doing work with mashups I am starting to believe that remixes are the […]

Hank Hill, assistant manager of Strickland Propane found himself in a place he never thought he would venture into… the West Coast.

For my third Mashup assignment I did the Favorite Teams Mashup. I decided to combine some of my favorite Boston sports teams together.

I was looking through the mashup assignments for another one to do and found the Movie Mashup. For this assignment you have to combine two different movies together into one movie poster.

I was looking through Mashup Assignments and saw the 10 Second Song Mashup. I thought this would be great.

My sister’s […]

Since I was home for Thanksgiving Break I decided that it would be a good idea to talk to my sister about remixes and mashups. We both felt pretty unclear on what remixes were going into it. We each thought that we knew what it was but then we check out some videos of remixes […]

Using the ds106 remix generator I got an assignment where you write about a scene with multiple characters but write about the perspectives and emotions of one of the other characters in the scene. That original assignment was Different point of view- same place. The trick is for my remix I got play it back Jack […]

No surprises here this week when it came to daily creates. I did four as usual throughout the week. The first daily create I did for this week was a writing assignment that discusses my unfortunate signature. Down below is that submission. “A signature can say a lot about someone. If you look at mine […]

It’s always nice to get ahead so for this week I was responsible to get ahead a little bit and look at some video assignments for next week and plan out how I will do them, plus look over some examples of people who did them already. This will be helpful for me because I […]

I looked through the document with all the YouTube genres. I saw so many different types of genres and felt that I could have added many videos to each one but personally I go to YouTube to watch funny videos for the most part. So I decided to add an example of a parody. There […]
