    Movie Time!

    by
    This week, we continued our unit on video! One of the first assignments was to watch another apocalyptic/post-apocalyptic movie! Last week, I watched The Quiet Earth. This week, I watched a movie that I really, really enjoyed, The Day the Earth Stood Still (the 1951 version). I was pleasantly surprised by how much I liked this movie! […]

    A Lyric Video for One Republic

    by
    For one of my video assignments, I created a lyric video for one of my favorite songs, Future Looks Good, by One Republic. I had a lot of fun creating this video! I downloaded the song from a YouTube video, and then looked up the lyrics on A-Z Lyrics. Once I had the song and the lyrics, as […]

    Learning to Read Movies

    by
    The first task of Week 10 has been to learn how to read movies. We all know how to watch movies, but can we all read them? I’m a Communications and Digital Studies major. For one of the elective requirements, I took Intro to Cinema Studies here at UMW last semester. Here I thought that […]

    Girls’ Guide to the Apocalypse has Aired

    by
    On Tuesday, March 20th, my survivalist group’s radio show aired on DS106 Radio. It was so exciting to listen to something that we all worked so hard on on a platform where anyone and everyone could hear it! Rachel did a wonderful job editing everything together. There was one moment that the volume was a […]

    Another Apocalyptic Haiku

    by
    One of my assignments this week was to remix/redo/update a project that I have already completed during this semester. I decided that I would redo the three-star assignment “Haiku it up” from the writing assignment bank. The original was posted on February 3rd, and it is now March 25th! The first time around, this was […]

    Dr. Annalise Huddleston in Her Natural Environment

    by
    Annalise Huddleston returns! I’m really loving my character, I must say! It’s so much fun getting to design, write about, and just overall create someone totally fictional! She feels real, to me, in some ways already! This week, I was able to use Hero Machine to create an animated depiction of what Annalise looks like, […]

    “California” Alternate Book Cover

    by
    One of my design assignments from this week was to create an alternate book cover for the post-apocalyptic novel I am reading this semester! The book I chose to read was California by Edan Lepucki. I have just barely started this novel, but thanks to the upcoming spring break, I will have plenty of time to read […]

    It’s A DesignBlitz!

    by
    One of my assignments for this week to create a DesignBlitz! Very similar to my PhotoBlitz from a few weeks ago, this week I was to take pictures of five different objects that illustrated five different design aspects! Check out my results below: The first picture (the top left) is of my bookcase in my […]

    Once Upon An… Apocalypse?

    by
    As another audio assignment from the assignment bank, I completed one that incorporates Disney and the apocalypse! I was immediately drawn to this assignment due to the fact that it had to do with Disney. Who isn’t excited by that? So what did I have to do? Well, I needed to compile a recording that includes different Disney lyrics […]

    Hello?… Anyone There?

    by
    This week, I got to experiment with a bunch of sounds and audio! I just finished up posting an audio clip of me to Frequency 2156. If you’ve never heard of this site, it’s a website which is almost its own radio show. When you first go to the page, you immediately see a map […]

    “These Are A Few of My Favorite”… Sounds!

    by
    For this assignment from the assignment bank, I was to create an audio recording of four or five of my favorite sounds. This really got me thinking because I’ve never really thought about what sounds I actually like. I know what sounds I don’t like because every time I hear them I want to either pull my […]

    Introducing… Dr. Annalise Huddleston

    by
    Annalise Huddleston was born on June 11th, 1988 in Seattle, Washington. She grew up with two older brothers and one younger sister. Her mom and dad always had their hands full, that’s for sure. She loved dolls and all the toys you would think all little girls love. She had plenty of toys, but she […]

    Reflecting Upon Movies Portraying the End of the World

    by
    The first film I watched this week was a short film, La Jetée, in which a man is taken through a journey of his memories from the past and present, and is then taken to the future all while being a part of something that seems to be some type of psychological test. The main character […]

    Secret Messages in the Apocalypse

    by
    In the apocalypse, we have to communicate in code. It’s too dangerous to say everything we need to over the phone or text or anything like that because the government can see it and it will not end well by any means. That’s why I want to share two messages I have created in order […]

    Before and After the Apocalypse

    by
    So… I made it! I’m so glad to be alive. I can’t unsee the things I’ve seen. I’ll never forget the people I’ve met. It’s not over yet, though! I haven’t run out of supplies yet, so here’s hoping I make it all the way through. Wherever and whenever the end really is! BEHIND THE […]

    The Terms of Service listed below are the rules and regulations that every member of the apocalypse should follow. Meaning, if you are alive and breathing, you must follow the following policies: Every member shall seek shelter when a apocalypse arrives (zombie, alien, nuclear, natural disaster, etc.) This shelter can include, a basement that includes …

    Finis…An Alternate Ending

    by
    I am going to be writing an alternate ending for the short story Finis.  Original ending:  “Kiss me!” she whispered suddenly, throwing her arms around his neck. He could feel her trembling. “Say you love me; hold me in your arms. There is only an hour.” “Don’t be afraid. Try to face it bravely,” stammered Eastwood. …
