This assignment is called signing words and is worth 4.5 stars to bring me over the 12 star minimum and it is going toward the theme of the class so it also brings me over the 6 stars for that. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/signing-word In this video I am signing a common phrase heard in one franchise of …

Today Agents Katey and Amari and I got together to film the bulk of our video project. We met in the Hurley Convergence Center and went to the media production studio to record ourselves. When setting up the space we decided to go with a low back lights to obscure our faces from the camera. […]

For my first assignment this week, I decided to Return to the Silent Era. I kept this up with the class theme by having my movie scene be from the Spy Movie Kingsman… Do you sense the trend I am going on here? literally, everything I do is on Kingsman. I’ll eventually stop but today’s … Continue reading "Silent Kingsman"

This assignment is called how to video and is worth 4.5 stars. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/how-to-vide I decided to use this as one of the assignments that counted toward the class theme. I decided to do a tutorial video on how to turn an umbrella into a secret weapon. I am still having difficulties with my strep throat …

Here is my character interview made in Audacity

This assignment is worth 4 stars and is called where do you want to go. http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/where-do-you-want-to-g For this assignment I had to make a video with pictures of a place I would like to visit. For it I chose Paris, France. I got an audio recording of their national anthem, La Marseillaise. I added pictures …

I made a poor quality video about just a few of my favorite things: Cars, videogames and Youtube videos. This was definitely a joke video which was fun. I was actually attempting to drift a suped-up SUV which clearly didn’t have any control. Fun nonetheless!

This was a very cool video to make for me personally! I like making short videos that are simple but creative-ish. Here was my attempt of an all foot view video: I definitely wish I had made this when it was light out and I wish that I had held my phone horizontally for a … Continue reading "Where Do Your Shoes Take You?"

This was, again, a pretty difficult week. I do have some experience in editing videos and in basic cinema studies, so a lot of the assignments didn’t have a huge learning curve for me (maybe except for the kinetic typography video). A lot of the work was just time-consuming. As a tip, if you plan […]

Here is my spy interview for ds106. This one took me a while in selecting the questions, coming up with answers, and splitting the clips and moving them around, but other than that, it wasn’t bad. I decided to go with the “disguise” that everyone seems to wear in the Marvel universe.

  I created this video essay analyzing the cinematography of a fight scene from the film Quantum of Solace, because what’s a spy movie without a good fight? I made it using iMovie and Audacity (and just as a tip: the freeze-frame option in iMovie is a life and time saver). It wasn’t too hard to make […]

For one of the assignments, I decided to create a kinetic typography video from Martin Scorsese’s film Gangs of New York, where Bill “the Butcher” Cutting, played by Daniel Day-Lewis, delivers a chilling speech. I love kinetic typography videos, so I thought I’d jump in. The first thing I learned when starting this assignment is that kinetic […]

For the Inanimate Motion stop motion assignment, I took photographs of some fruit that I was eating and a made a .gif to make it look like the fruit was disappearing. Photoshop has a great feature where you can create a frame animation and export it as a .gif. It was a little difficult to try […]

For the Classical Music Video Mashup, I used Blink 182’s video for “What’s My Age Again?” with Offenbach’s “Infernal Gallop” (often misnamed The Can Can). Even while reading the assignment description, I had the idea of putting these two together. I used iMovie to line up the music with the video, even though I had […]

I have something to confess: I could not finish all of my assignments this week. I was rather busy and starting assignments that I was unfamiliar with late left me with the following results. While I was able to complete some, my mission for this week was incomplete and I feel really bad that I let this happen. Learning to …

All I can say about this week is wow. Because it was a struggle I can tell you that right now. I had a lot going on this week! This week was very interesting. I liked the Video Assignments, they were very interactive and I found that you didn’t just want to put half your ... Read more

Movie week was one of my favorite ones so far. If not for other factors, this week would have been pretty easy for me, but I still had fun with it. I really enjoyed the video assignments. I thought it would be more about directing and shooting videos, but there was a lot of variety … Continue reading Week 10

For the Character Interview, I chose what I thought were some of the funnier questions to make for a good interview for my character, Annabella Smith. I found footage of a silhouetted interview with an anonymous woman (which was actually very hard to find) and changed the pitch of my own voice recording to simulate … Continue reading Spy Interview

For this video, I compiled the main scenes from the movie, Frozen. I used iMovie to add and delete the scenes onto the final product and all of the clips I found were from YouTube (I do not own them). This video pretty much sums up the story of Frozen and all of the characters’ highlights are included. VideoAssignments, VideoAssignments1917

Here is the scene review form Bourne Ultimatum. Most of my thoughts are actually in the video, so I will just outline the process here. I downloaded the clip from youtube and used iMovie to actually edit the video. For the Voice over I found it easier to watch the video separately with headphones on, …
