Since we have a pretty loose idea of what we wanted to do, I chose to keep it fairly open to interpretation. I ripped the opening scene from youtube and uploaded it into Windows Live Movie Maker. I then downloaded some images of puppets and spliced them together (we don’t know how we’re going to … Continue reading "Video Show Trailer"

This week we started working on video. After reading and watching our material for background, I applied what I learned to a scene from Django Unchained. I then completed one assignment, in which I played a game for the camera. I also got some good Daily Creates this week, from memes to Etch-A-Sketches. Most importantly, however, … Continue reading Making the Movie: Week 10 →

This was the assignment I suggested in our group, so I felt obliged to complete it myself. I chose No Country for Old Men, since that was the movie I watched to analyze this week. I’m realizing I should have made the assignment a minute or less, because I easily went over the 30 seconds, even … Continue reading Video Assignment – Spoil A Movie In 30 Seconds Or Less

So this week we had to do 2 daily creates. I chose to do the National Bike to Work day create which was to make art with your bike. Since my bike is dead, I decided to draw some bikes. While my drawing skills are not the best, I thought it turned out fairly well. … Continue reading "24/7 Lecture and More"

This assignment was the trickiest assignment all week for me. I read all the different resources provide like Ebert’s essay and Zhou’s series

At the start of the week I was going to just go ahead and do the video assignments because I had so much going on that I didn’t think I would have time for a group project but after Tierra reached out through email, and all our success with the radio show I decided to … Continue reading College is a Rodeo

This week really got to me. I started off the week early by planning out what I wanted to complete each day, but family emergencies forced me to have to work on my work all within the last two days. My Thursday and Friday basically consisted of class and homework. Literally.  Below I have linked […]

This week we had to read upon various articles, as well as watch clips which analyze different films. When I first saw the assignment details, I thought it was going to take forever, but in reality, it did not. I first read all required text and watched films. I took notes so that I could […]

I really enjoyed completing this assignment. When I first saw essay, I dreaded the thought of having to write an actual essay but once I saw the actual assignment I was excited to complete it! I chose to analyze a scene in Django Unchained that had the shot-reverse shot effect, the ensemble staging effect and … Continue reading My kind of essay

This week we were assigned to complete 10 stars worth of video assignments. I have linked them both below with a little description. The first one I completed required I create a product commercial. Considering I had just gone to Wawa and bought a Peach Iced Tea, I decided to create the commercial off the […]

For the mandatory video assignment, I decided to complete “What’s the Weather in your Neck of the Woods?” starring my dog as a wild beast and I as the the news reporter. I first scripted what I wanted to say. Then I got my boyfriend to hold the camera for me while I spoke. During […]

In this assignment we had to spoil a movie by making a short video. This entailed finding all the major scenes relevant to

For this assignment, I had to make a 3-5 minute movie trailer formatted the same way as movie trailers from the silent era

This was by far the coolest assignment that I had the chance to do. The assignment was channel my inner ESPN and clip

This week I unfortunately put things to the very last minute, so I didn’t really enjoy this week as much. I started with the daily creates and thought the ones I picked out were pretty simple. Then we had to choose to do one of the 4 assignment banks. I chose to do my favorite activity and … Continue reading "Weekly Summary"

We were supposed to apply all the readings and videos through an essay. I think what I learned the most is that there are more to videos than just the picture we are seeing. In the good, the bad, and the ugly, there is a scene where the guys are just having a face off. … Continue reading "What i’ve learned"

This video assignment asks you to take a scene from a movie and make the characters sound like chipmunks. I went with the ending soliloquy from Blade Runner, a scene that’s very powerful normally, just to see what it was like chipmunkified. I originally wanted to go with the “Do you feel lucky?” speech from … Continue reading Video Assignment – Chipmunk Style

DO NOT WATCH IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE PRESTIGE. I LOVE this movie, which is part of the reason I chose it. That being said, don’t watch this if you haven’t seen it first, please! I I don’t want to be responsible for ruining it for you For this assignment, I had to create … Continue reading "SPOILER ALERT: The Prestige"

First video assignment of the entire class! For this assignment, we’re supposed to take a serious scene from a movie, and then dub it with audio or music from a comedy. The serious scene I chose was the Raptor in the Kitchen scene from Jurassic Park, and I dubbed it with the song Yakety Sax, … Continue reading Video Assignment – Why So Serious?

This week we did an abrupt switch from audio to video. There are a lot of thing in common though with audio and video which made the week easier. I started off the week by first doing daily creates. I did the daily create on 1/22 where you had to use etch-a-sketch to make a dailycreate. […]

My last big assignment of the week was to do a video essay. As you can tell- I was really putting this off. I consider myself… well not very tech savvy and I knew creating this video essay would be challenging. I decided to go with the movie No Room to Die. It was a […]

So this week was full of new things. I have never ever looked at video like we were assigned to
