Crazy times for me are finally at an end. I think I’ve driven more the last two weeks than I have my entire life. I can’t wait to have a fresh week. Anyway, I did have some interesting, fruitful discoveries this week that involved quite a bit of personal photography discussion. My favorite bit was … Continue reading Week Three Summary: Shadowy Times → -

Reflect on Noir and Visual Storytelling
Stanley Kubrick’s movie Killer’s Kiss is shot in black and white color which only adds to this film as a classic Noir. He utilizes a narrative style in the beginning and he also set the tone with his dramatic use of distinct shadows and lighting from one side. He even uses venetian lighting effect within the television set. During […] -

Alas, The Day Is Done, I Say Goodnight, and Somebody Turns Off the Light
I started off the week wearily. Visual week…great. I worked on my photoreflection while reading a bit about photography, its form, and the basic principles and techniques involved. I think the video helped me most, because of Eskenazi’s general composure. ...

Week Three!
Whew! I made it! This week was a breathe of fresh air after the non-stop writing of last week. First thing I did was my visual assignments, because they were the most new and exciting! I loved getting into the mind of my character, Melody, and really thinking about things in her perspective. http://sayheyjanaye.com/assignments/poetry-art/ http://sayheyjanaye.com/assignments/whats-in-your-bag/ […] -
Week Three
I found this weeks assignments fun but very time consuming. I really enjoyed writing up the visuals of storytelling blog post. It was a lot of fun going back and looking at old pictures of past vacations to put up online on my blog. I posted five pictures I took on family vacations over the […] -
TGIS (Thank God It’s Sunday)
I am overjoyed that this week is finally coming to an end. It was definitely a rough one. After just getting over a two week sickness, one of my roommates came home and said she went to the doctor and definitely has the flu…good thing I had a weakened immune system (not really a good … Continue reading TGIS (Thank God It’s Sunday) -
A Shaky History with Photography
I love film, but does that inherently mean I love photography? Well, yes and no. I’ve been interested in landscape shots for as long as I can remember. I used to have my parents buy me those disposable cameras as a kid when we went on vacations so I could snap pictures of everything. I’m … Continue reading A Shaky History with Photography → -

Noir Cintematography
I started off the week, after reading about <photography>, by watching “Killer’s Kiss”. Overall, I was rather disappointed with the movie. It seemed like there was far too much downtime, with narration acting as a segue, to really “get” the...

Horan and Styles
For this assignment (worth two stars), I had to put the faces of me and my bae over the faces of a famous couple. For the couple, I chose Niall Horan and Harry Styles (though they aren’t actually dating) because they are our favorite members of One Direction. This is the original image: And using […] -
Weekly Summary; Week 3
Our focus for this week was how to use visual elements to tell our stories. So far this has been my favorite week. I enjoy photography and learning how to incorporate some of the elements we learned this week to better my own photography was a great learning experience. Something I enjoyed the most about […] -
Noir Cinematography
Killer’s Kiss Killer’s Kiss was chalk full of classic noir photography elements, but I’m going to hone in on the two seen in the stills above. The first is a great example of lighting from one side, as you see how menacing a character can look while holding a pistol in a dark warehouse. The second… Read More -
Weekly Summary 3
This week was great. I was waiting for the opportunity to showcase my photography skills for noir and the visual assignments. Watching Killer’s Kiss and He Walks By Night showed what film noir really was. I saw specific examples that allowed me to expand upon lighting techniques and their effects. The visual assignments finally allowed me to use my awesome (modest aren’t I?) photography… Read more →

Posted Up
For this assignment (worth two stars), I had to make a group of post-it notes and reminders that would be on my character Ami‘s desk. To do this, I used a public domain image of a post-it note and Photoshop. The notes include a to-do list, a grocery list, a reminder, and a note from […] -
Noir Movie Reflections
I must say that I do not normally watch old movies, but these two films were out of the ordinary for me. The first image is a snapshot of Chinatown, which involves a detective who investigates a private divorce case only to find out about twisted evidence of incest within the family he investigates. … Continue reading Noir Movie Reflections → -

Week Three: Photography Isn’t so Bad After All!
This week has been a flux between procrastination and being really productive. I read/watched all the information about photography on Monday, then found other schoolwork getting in the way of this class until it was suddenly the end of the week (never doing that again).
