DS106 Week One Summary (part two)
My impression of noir is that it is gloomy, dark, and is associated with crime. I can appreciate this genre or mood, but it would not be my first choice for a film or other media. However I can see how it would make a story or picture more interesting. There is a feeling of … Continue reading DS106 Week One Summary (part two) -
Noir 106: Week 1
Noir week one is a go! I started off by reading the Notes on Noir and Intro to More Than Night, and then I watched Courageous Cat and Bugs Bunny. At that point I was like, ‘okay I got this, I know what this noir deal is about,’ but then as I sat down […] -

Week One: Summery
If it’s not one thing it’s another. My first week of class was crazy, unorganized, and for the most part pretty darn insane. And that was just in general. This class so far seems different, exciting and I have been trying to get into it since last summer. With that being said I’m more than … Continue reading Week One: Summery → -

Oh, the Cleverness of Me!
So this first week was really interesting to me. I have always been interested in the genre of noir, but… -
What is Noir?
I’m following along, as much as I have time to, the latest iteration of ds106, #noir106. I’m excited, not just because, well, it’s ds106, which I love, but also because when it comes right down to it, I’m not really sure what “noir” is. I have this image of black and white films, fedoras, lots […] -
Hello, ds106!
Nice to meet you! My name is Jada, and this is my official introductory post for my online Digital Storytelling class. Here is a picture of me from about a year ago that I am very proud of: Shoutout to Douglas Adams. Here is the voice I am stuck with: Here is my first Digital […] -
Summary Week One
This class has taught me so much already, I have never used, written, or let alone created a blog before. I still do not know if I am using it right or it is linked the way it should be. Technology and the Internet is not a strong point in my life but I wanted … Continue reading Summary Week One -

Week 1 Assignment: Head in the Wordcloud!
I am so glad that Ien submitted this Visual Assignment to create a Wordcloud! I remember the first time I ever created one; I believe it was in 6th grade computer class, basically eons ago at this point (*pardon me as I indulge in a brief moment of nostalgia). I thought it was the absolute coolest thing, and...

Here is the HD at Gfycat worth a look!
So, I am starting to explore Cine Noir for this run of DS106. At the risk of being burnt at the stake, I am not interested in watching the films! Yet, I love the style of them and the way in which ‘the sets and atmosphere reflect the characters inner turmoil’ or so I read in my overview google dive last night. I also love the typography and how it uses the form to express the emotional tone of the story. It is surprisingly difficult to find out detail about the original types. I have found two fonts that I want to play with: Metropolis and Stroke. It looks like Typewriter can also be used. So how do you get the ‘noir feel’ to an animated gif? Best way to see that was to make one from one of the most famous film Noir I know! Use of light, high contrast and that closed in vignette around the image. I noticed also that everything seems sharp and clean - clothes, posters, people and typography. I like that. How the figure gets closer and closer….scary!
I know nothing about Cine Noir. I now something about Tech Noir as most of my favourite films are about dystopian futures.
There is a lot to learn and, heads up, creative edits of Cine Noir posters will be a pig of a job to do!
The how of this gif will have to wait for now. The joy of being an open participant, no deadlines!

Week One Summary
Whew! I made it to my summary post. I think that this week has been huge learning experience for myself in this class, in both the social media and noir. Setting up all of the different social media accounts I found incredibly stressful. Even though I had heard of soundcloud and flickr before, I had […] -
Weekly Summary January 17, 2015
The first week of #ds106 was interesting to say the least. My freshmen year at UMW I was enrolled in a freshman seminar that required the use of Domain of ones own. This was very helpful in speeding up the process of getting my domain going. My domain is up and running although I am … Continue reading Weekly Summary January 17, 2015 → -

DS106 Week One Summary
Week one was very stressful for me. I am horrible with computers so I got confused a great deal. In the end I got things worked out. Going to meet with professor Groom also helped a great deal. I feel more confident with the websites now and hopefully I won’t do too bad during the … Continue reading DS106 Week One Summary -

Film Noir, Ya Filthy Animal
This week was an exploration into one of my favorite types of film…. film noir. I was so excited when I found out that this semester’s theme, and thought it was almost too good to be true to have to watch examples over the course of this, and subsequent weeks. (Oh darn, whatever will I … Continue reading Film Noir, Ya Filthy Animal -
Introduction: Week 1
My name is Julian and I’m a senior Biology major with a minor in Neuroscience. I like too many different animals to decide a favorite, and the same goes for colors. I have always had various social media accounts, but I am not the type of person to post much. I hope that this class … -

If I Could Go Back and Change ONE Thing
Well, If I could go back and change ONE thing, it would be a thing that happened many, many years ago when I was working in Hollywood. I had a feature part in an episode of a famous television series in the sixties, and something happened back then during that time that has kind of […] -
