The radio show as a whole was an absolute blast. Not only was producing the show a great time but I had an even better time listening in to others shows.

To start the week off, I tuned into another radio show called dinner show at 6. This was … Continue reading Is This week over yet? →

This week I tuned into dinner party at 6 radio show. This was extremely interesting to listen to. The show actually made me feel as if I was there at the dinner party. The sound editing on this show was brilliant. There was so many different noises and sounds that made it feel so real. … Continue reading Dinner Show at 6 →

This week we read an article and then had to make a video of us critiquing it with our new knowledge.

This daily Create was to take a picture that has an artsy blur. The picture that I used is one that my parents took during my game this weekend. It was not intentionally supposed to be blury but I think that it came out pretty cool looking. It can also...

Well, I hope the ending of this week never happens again. I started out the week doing great, but Sunday should just be wiped off the face of the Earth. Let’s start from the beginning. I live-Tweeted to the show Get a Clue, which was fun as usual. As I...

Fun week working with video. I got to watch one of my favorite beers poured in reverse. I also learned that reversing video isn’t an option on Windows Movie Maker, and that’s dumb. I added visuals and guitar accompaniment to my Black Bird self trio, which was nice to see finally completed and played with. … Continue reading Week 9 Summary →

After reading the resources on how to read a video and use different shots, I watched Hitchcock’s  Notorious. I definitely noticed all the elements of film making we read about in the reading, so it was pretty hard for me to find the perfect scene to analyze. I decided to...

Source: https://gatsiesheikar.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/headdesk.png This was busy for me this week. My laptop died around Wednesday forcing me to buy a new one. This unfortunately meant I had to redo some of my work. Also this week was an introduction to using video. Initially, I found this process a little tedious. Because not only do I have…

The video I chose to watch was Albert Hitchcock’s Notorious. I pay a lot of attention to the visual parts of film so that is what I commented mostly on.

This week was all about learning how to make videos. Well before we could even start the videos we had to finish the radio shows. The tweet along this week was just as much fun as always but I have to say it was rather confusing. I still love doing it though and seeing how […]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=keGNoYNIdKc This my Kiss Me Deadly video.

The radio show was undeniably a mixed bag. I had a ton of fun with what I was able to make, but I am definitely disappointed that I couldn’t work with my original group and get to hear my show aired. I don’t want to delve in too far, but I quickly became frustrated in … Continue reading Radio Show Reflection →

In this scene, I did a brief synopsis of ending of Notorious. I wanted to make it short and sweet. The character, Alex, walks up the stairs in the most dramatic way. The audience knows that Alex will be caught and could spell doom for him in the future. Another thing I wanted emphasize the…

For this assignment, I acted as if I was my character, Conway. The assignment was to make a short video giving some insight of a characters personality. By now, you should all know who my character is, so I wanted to show you how he acted and spoke. I also included James Black in this … Continue reading Get to Know Conway →

First thing’s first: I apologize for the title. It makes me gag a little bit too. I was stuck and I just couldn’t resist. I’m a huge Hitchcock fan and have seen Notorious on numerous occasions, so I immediately knew where I was going  with what scene to pick. For as awesome as the shot … Continue reading Video Essay-A Notoriously Amazing Shot →

This week I got caught up in many different things and largely forgot about DS106. DivestUMW has been very busy working on a response effort to the UMW BOV’s dismissal of the University’s concerns, and this weekend I attended the National Young Feminist Leadership Conference in DC. I know that these things aren’t an excuse, […]

This is the favorite actor/actress highlight reel assignment worth 3 points. Robert DeNiro is so angry. And he loves repeating himself. This is a pretty cool collaboration from one of America’s greatest actors, taken from my favorites of his filmography. I’m just now realizing that other than the Godfather Part 2, all of the films … Continue reading DeNiro in All His Angry Awesomeness →

So we started our group project for the video show, we came up with the script, and shoot a few things. This was a little more detailed than our radio show but since we had that experience it helped us make things go faster. We started out by finding who would be in the group, … Continue reading The End of Week 9

Friday- Rainy Day 1 For this TDC, I had to write a poem about rainy days. I hate rainy days, especially when they are cold, so I wrote a poem about how cold rainy days make me feel. I get really hopeless and apathetic when it rains. All of my problems feel relentless when even […]
