This week, our first video assignment was to make a video essay analyzing a scene from the movie we watched this week. I did my essay on a scene from Alfred Hitchcock’s “Notorious.” After reading “How To Read A Movie,” I watched 3 videos explaining some more in-depth things. The three I watched were “Examples … Continue reading Video Essay

A major part of this week’s assignment was to create a video essay for a movie that was included on a list that the professors provided. Considering that I have always wanted to watch an Alfred Hitchcock film, I chose “Notorious”. Preceding the viewing, we were required to read Roger Ebert’s “How to Read a … Continue reading “Notorious” B.I.G. (Movie)

This two-star video assignment relates to Janelle’s’ character, Sebastian Crane … clearly I’m #InsaneintheMemCRANE, since this is the second assignment I’ve done with him! He’s just so wonderful :). Though... Read more >

This week I listened in on Dinner Party at 6 and part of Noir Buzz. Dinner Party at 6 was very interesting though hard to figure out what was happening. Something that may have been helpful would have been some vocal cues to which character was saying what so that the audience could tell what … Continue reading DS106 Radio week 2

It has been nagging at me for going on 10 years! Though I am probably no more than about 2 percent Irish, my desire to travel there has been growing... Read more >

Another thing that was asked to do this week is read about videos and watch 3 of the assigned ones. I picked 3 of the youtube videos. The reason I chose them was of course they are rather short but also I love the task of editing video and these all sounded like things that […]

This week has been a planning week for the Steadfast Sleuths video project. We met on Wednesday for a few hours and wrote out a plot for the video episode, which was harder than I thought it would be. We realized early on that this was harder than making a...

This week there was 2 daily creates that we had to do. It was a hectic week so I was only able to do the 2 and not anymore. I must say I am still enjoying this assignment and it’s still exciting to see what the next ones are everyday. The first one I did […]

Looking back on the radio show I still love it. It was so much fun but that does not mean it didn’t come with its fair share of difficulties. The first difficulty was finding a time we could all meet that didn’t conflict with sports or school or work. After finishing the project we loved […]

For this week and next week, Landon Epperly, Jack Eaton, and I chose to do option 2 and make a video show with our characters. We will be continuing the story that we started with our radio show. (if you haven’t listened to it, you really should…just sayin’). Here’s our radio show: I obviously can’t … Continue reading Video Show Plan

http://assignments.ds106.us/assignments/recording-a-memory/ (Two Stars) For this assignment I had to take a video of someone recounting a memory. I chose to video Lena Meyers talking about her memory of going to see Scott and meet his family in Scott’s hometown. She met with Scott to follow up with him after the radio show and see his … Continue reading Lena’s Memory of Scott

This week I did a tweet along with the two shows on Thursday the 19th. Both of the shows confused me greatly but they were rather interesting. The dinner show one had great sound effects. I loved the way the group would scream and it sounded like they were all really scared. I really wish […]

This week I completed the four-star Video Assignment  “Narrative Ambience” in regards to Caterina’s mother Alessandra in order to show and further explore her inexplicable lust for Italy, a fervent love... Read more >

This week was so awful that I’m glad it’s OVER I couldn’t even tell you why it was awful. Which sucks. BUT WHATEVER. But it was, and next week is going to be so stressful because Mr. UMW is on Wednesday and IT IS MY FAVORITE EVENT but it is so much planning. Everyone of […]

Well. This assignment kinda sucked. But hey, sometimes we have to do things we don’t like or don’t want to. You’re probably wondering what we had to do this week…well we had to watch a movie from a select list, then pick a scene to analyze…but not just analyze it. We had to “read it” […]

My Weekly Summary!!! I did all the things! Yay! I truly can’t even remember what I have done this week and have to look at the assignment page. Okay, so…
