In my humble opinion, the movie Casablanca is a cinematic masterpiece. Watching this movie feels so deliberate. Every conversation, every shadow, every sound. It all comes together to tell a breathtaking story with very few fancy cinematic elements that are often seen in popular movies. Less is more in this movie, and there are so […]

The “Where Do Your Shoes Take You?” assignment asked “Where do your shoes take you in a day? Tell a story using a video of only your shoes!

For my rework assignment, I decided to go back to my “Say What??!” post and improve it. When I did this assignment, I wasn’t very happy with the way it turned out. I think that the text looks pretty clunky and low quality in the original assignment. I used the BeFunky site to edit the […]

This week, we were supposed to do three daily creates and then tie them together in a story. At first I was a little confused about how this was going to work. The daily creates are often pretty unusual and don’t really have anything to do with each other. However, after I posted all three, […]

When I first saw the web storytelling assignment, I was pretty nervous. There were so many words and it looked so confusing!
