    Haiku!

    by
    Today’s Daily Create had me outside enjoying nature.  It says poetry is an option. Between that and the photo subject I chose, I couldn’t stop thinking of a sketch by The Kids In The Hall. How’d I make this? After taking a dozen photos or so, I chose this one for the framing and the …

    Perspectives on video

    by
    The first video that I watched was “Hitchcock Loves Bikinis,” in it Hitchcock spoke about how the same expression can be changed into different emotions depending on the footage surrounding it. This shows how important context in movies are. Subtle things such as this can influence how the audience views a character The next video […]

    Old Hitch’

    by
    I love how you really notice things after someone points out the obvious. I’m a Tarantino fan, but watching the video example, I noticed his use of low camera angles really conveyed meaning in many scenes. With the exception of Daryl Hannah’s deadly assassin character gasping for air in a toilet, they each conveyed the …

    Schadenfreude

    by
    One of the first classes I took at UMW was Professor Mathur’s Shakespeare in Film. On more than one occasion during discussion, I stressed to my fellow students that everything — everything — on the screen is there for a reason. My arguments were met with quiet derision. Well, pearls before swine.   But now …

    Reading a movie?

    by
    In Roger Ebert’s How to read a movie, he makes connections to something that we discussed during the first week of class. He talked about the importance of the rule of thirds. He says that having a character on the left side of the screen is dominated by the person on the right. I think […]

    What’s Your Story?

    by
    It`s all about sounds and what kind of story they make. For this audio assignment, I picked out 6 different sounds, from freesound.org, and tuned them together with Audacity. Figuring out Audacity was a little tricky because I had to figure out what all the different buttons were and where to clip the sound at Read More

    Chugging along

    by
    Okay! You know that feeling when you’re on a long, arduous journey and you keep thinking ‘we’ve got to almost be there by now’ and you look up and realize you’re just more than halfway there. Yeah, that. So, my first project since Wednesday was this Daily Create.  Pen crafting is something I started doing …

    It all Comes Crashing Down

    by
    The Sounds Speak for Themselves The final assignment this week was more or less the equivalent to the audio version of a design effect: use audio editing skills to create a ninety-second­-or-less audio story without verbal communication. Again, dealing with steam powered Detroit, I chose to continue where I left off with Hollis and Meg’s …

    Tensions Flare at Home

    by
    Story Time! Telling a story using audio could not possibly be hard, right? Well, while literally telling a story into a mic has inherent simplicities, making an audio story for the story-time assignment had challenges. Mixing the audio of the different tracks required much listening and re-listening to get the volumes and fades just right. …

    Safe and Sound

    by
    For audio week, I had to learn an entirely new program called Audacity. The daily creates that I did had no audio aspect involved but they were really fun. The first assignment that I did allowed me to create a story out of sound effects. The alien abduction story could very well happen in my […]

    Playing Something on the Piano is not Always Better

    by
    What? No Words? The first assignment I tackled this week was a meaty five-star dealing with converting audio files. I had to create an auditory illusion; this is where a song with heavy vocals is taken and converted into a midi file, then played as a piano track on computer. To be frank, the most …

    Creating in pairs

    by
    For my first daily create, I went to the Wikipedia page with all of the letters translated. I then went into Paint and messed around with the fonts and colors. #ds106 #tdc2342 pic.twitter.com/Y8eTGSU9kX — Karina Schumm (@kasc96) June 8, 2018 For the second daily create, I went to a site to create a graph. I […]
