Week 1 Summary
As we are just getting started, I have mainly just followed the steps to getting this blog up and running. I have created soundcloud, youtube/google, instagram, and twitter accounts to post my creations with. One problem I ran into is that wordpress does not embed instagram links so I think I will make the switch to flickr and see if […] -
Weekly Summary #1
Overall, I feel for the first week of class things went pretty well. Nothing really “drove me crazy”. Although, it was a bit tedious making accounts and setting everything up the way I wanted. Because creating a domain and creating my own space was new to me, there were things I had to look up […]

Final Project, 80’s remix
This final project was interesting to make, early on I did have copyright concerns, but after those were resolved it was smooth sailing. Lewis, Kyle, Lilian, James, and I switched to using Skype for our meetings after it was discovered that Zoom was insecure and potentially harmful to use, and we met on Sunday to […] -

final project summary
Hey guys, we’re almost done with this class, I can’t believe it! I got the inspiration for my final project from the movie “I Am Legend”, starring Will Smith. In short, the basis of the movie follows Will Smith as he tries to survive a “zombie” apocalypse and searches for a cure. I’ve decided to go through each of the storytelling elements that I used in this project, category by category, and explain my thought process, editing if there were any, explanations for each, etc. Audio: I knew I wanted to start off this project using audio because I felt it was the best way to begin providing information about the plot of my story. I could have used video, but I think audio created a mental picture that I would then continue to add on to as I went along with the story. I used audio clips from Youtube, such as the newscaster clips you hear, a few clips from the movie “I Am Legend”, where you hear at the beginning a woman talking about her cancer “cure”, and recorded my own voice as well as my sister’s voice towards the end in a conversation. The music I played in the background was also from Youtube. I put everything together using Audacity and it took about two days to get all the clips […] -
Say Anything but Without the Trespassing
For my final project, I am putting a modern spin on one of my favorite scenes in 80’s cinematic history. While I love the iconic boombox scene in “Say Anything” it is admittedly dated and a little trespass-ey So I have recreated the scene and brought it up to the year 2020. The story will … -
Final Project
We did it again! We went big, we thought big, we performed BIG! Working with James, Lilian, Kyle, and Hayden was the best time ever. I had a great group and we did great together. For this project, we decided to go with a radio show Lilian suggested making a sort of Top Hits radio […] -
80s Video Game Music and Their Legacy Into Today

Well, video games is one of them, and it’s definitely something that has helped me keep my sanity […] -

Final Project – Weekly Summary
This final is pretty open ended. My group and I decided that the most important parts to focus on were 1) making the project fit into multiple medias and 2) relate to the course theme, the 80s. The two media platforms we decided to post our project on were Soundcloud and YouTube, some of the most popular sites for audio and visuals, respectively. Our project is going to relate to -
Final Project Plan
I’m planning that the final project will be a history documentary about an alternate dystopian future caused by the Coronavirus, where I’ll be combining video, images, and audio together to paint the future history of the geopolitical ramifications of a Coronavirus which rapidly mutates out of control, becomes significantly more deadly, and eviscerates the economies […] -

final project plan!
Idea: “I am Legend” approach but 80’s style Hey everyone, so one of my favorite post-pandemic/apocalyptic movies ever is “I Am Legend” with Will Smith. For my final project, I decided to take this movie and put a couple of twists on it. First, I’m going to try my best to include an 80’s decade theme to it. For example, in the writing and audio parts of the story I’ll try to include typical 80’s slang that is used, and also maybe talk about items that were typically used in this decade (such as a walkman) as well as make references to movies, icons, or political figures or events that someone from this decade would use. Spoiler alert! The story I’ll be following is my character (I haven’t chosen a name yet) will be the last survivor in the pandemic, and she is trying to discover a cure for the disease. Those who were affected by the virus are now zombies, but similar to the movie I Am Legend, they only appear at night/can’t be exposed to sunlight. The story will follow the character as she goes about her life and her struggle to find a cure (she’s a scientist), her hopes that other people may be out there, and reflections on her past life. Elements I will be using (that I know of […] -
Final Project Ideas
This week we came up with three ideas for our final project. I suggested making a sort of Top Hits radio or video show. The songs would be current popular songs that are remixed to sound as if they were created in the 80s. The video below is an example of just that. I do […] -

Progress Report: Final Project
We have finally reached the end of the class and are starting on the project we have been talking about all semester! And I am very excited. For my final project, I am going to be recreating part of the “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitney Huston music video by with my own vocals. I am going to try and replicate every outfit and scene from about a minute of the music video (roughly 0:57-2:03, which is the first verse and chorus). I am going to record myself singing the song instead of Whitney to lip synch to. I […] -
