    Weekly Summary 1

    by
    This week was a fun one! I like photography, but am a very novice photographer. I like to do it mostly for myself, and my memories. So it was fun to try new things including taking photos in a new way. First, I followed the tips to make myself a better photographer by David DuChemin. This was my summary on what I came out with It was fun to implement new thought processes on my picture taking, and I want to try and think about these tips more often when taking photos. Next was the photo blitz assignment, which was fun. I think I stressed myself out too much with the idea of being timed, but came out with a result I’m proud of nonetheless. I discuss it further in my reflection below, which also holds my photos I took then. I also did Daily Creates for May 20th, May 21st, and May 22nd. They were all just easy questions to be answered, but were interesting questions that I hadn’t been asked before. For the creative assignments I made Harry Styles swim in our pool, Gave a room tour, Made a butterfly stand out, and gave myself a spubble, which is an odd phrase. I really liked the assignments this week. The hardest part for me was actually writing about what I’d done. Doing the projects was easy and enjoyable, but writing about them for some reason for me was like pulling teeth. But it’s just going to take some time for me to get used to! Learning about visual storytelling is engaging to me. The work of breaking it down into smaller pieces and dissecting them is something I’ve never done before, but is something so important to do. Every part is important, and visual might be the most important. Without visual aspects, storytelling isn’t as efficient.

    Hi, I’m Kelsey Proctor and this is my mid weekly summary! Here are the links to my social media and digital identity accounts: Twitter, Flickr, Soundcloud, and my YouTube. The only new accounts I created here was Soundcloud! I heavily used Flickr in the past but haven’t in years, and I’m excited to get back […]

    Photo Blitz

    by
    Each photo’s caption tells which one I tried to make each photo fit to. I also didn’t quite catch the clock right on the 15 minute mark, but 30 seconds over I promise I didn’t cheat. The hardest part for me was deciding what was good enough to photograph, and it’s where I wasted most of my time. It was enough time, but the fact that I was being timed freaked me out and I felt pressured to photograph just the right things. I used my Canon EOS T7i to take photos.

    Mid Week 1 Summary

    by
    I am glad that this class required us students to make and/or use our websites. During my freshman year, I heard that students of UMW are able to create their own websites through the school for free! I was going to make my website, but never got around to it until now. Even though it […]

    All These Different Platforms!

    by
    I had a fun time creating new accounts for these new social media platforms. At first I was confused while creating some of the accounts because I was not familiar with them except for a few. For Twitter, I already had an account where I keep up with music artists and other celebrities. However last […]

    As this is the first time I’ve ever worked with setting up my own domain or sites, it is fair to say it’s been a bit of a learning curve, but I love how my sites are turning out and I definitely have learned a lot! I decided to go with subdomains for my classes…

    All of my Hellos

    by
    Speaking on any social media platform is never very easy, especially when I have to use my name, face, or voice. I guess with Facebook, it’s unavoidable as using my face and name is literally the entire point of the site. But I don’t have much confidence or desire to really show myself like that.…

    My media accounts!

    by
    For the most part, I’ve already had my own personal accounts and didn’t need to create an entire new one specifically for this class. However, I’ve never used nor had Twitter and Flickr account and creating them was relatively simple and easy. Twitter was much more easier and simple to configure and it prompts you…

    This is my very first blog, blog post, and setting up my own domain and such. It’s all still very new as I’m also working with my father, as he has everything extremely secure,so I can access my own domain without having to use my hotspot on my phone! But overall this is all a…

    So far so good. As far as setting up my domain kayliebenson.com, it was pretty simple. I had set this up initially my freshman year, and was pretty excited about it then. I have since somewhat abandoned it, so the hardest part was becoming re-familiar with things like setting up a new page and customizing […]

    Introducing Yourself is Awkward Always

    by
    At the start of every class you are expected to tell everyone about you. Your likes, your dislikes, whether your like long walks on the beach or not. But the *fun* thing about this class is that you get to do it multiple times! On multiple platforms! I thought maybe on each site I could […]
