For one of my first video assignments for Weeks 10 & 11, I completed Signing Words for 4.5 stars. {This assignment requires you to take a video of yourself or someone else and finger spell a word or a phrase in Sign Language alphabet and let others guess what you have spelled. Make sure you […]

Oh boy. Okay. This has been the worst one yet.   So I did the video part easy peasy. I set up in my room and just sang.(I decided I’d […]

Classical-Modern Mashup: Ingredients: 1 piece of classical music, 1 modern music video. How to make: First, strip or mute the music out of the modern music video. Then layer the classic music on top. Voila! Some hopefully hilarious, weirdly sexual classical-modern mashup. (4 stars). I immediately watched the example for this assignment and thought it was so creative and thought mine … Continue reading Classical-Modern Mashup: Hotline Bling

When I was younger, I used to shun all those girls who wore makeup. Especially if they wore it every day. “If they manage to spend so much time on their makeup everyday, I can’t help but think about how poor their grades are” and “I’m not like other girls; I don’t wear makeup.” I […]

The assignment, worth 5 stars, was to make a video of someone who is special to you doing things that you like about them. I made a montage of my roommate, Rachel. I chose her 1. Because I have more videos of her than anyone else 2.  Your bond with your roommate is something that […]

This week we learned a bit about video making and how to use camera angles, effects, and audio to make a good video. Assignments: How to (Poorly) Play Guitar – 4.5 stars Do This Every Day – 4.5 stars Write… Continue Reading →

For the Signing Words assignment, we had to make a video of ourselves creating a word in sign language.  This is what I made: We’re supposed to let the viewer guess the word we make.  I chose a word that’s… Continue Reading →

For the 30 Second Documentary assignment, we had to make a 30 second video without commentary as a documentary of sorts.  One of the suggestions on the assignment is showing what it’s like to do something you haven’t done before,… Continue Reading →

So I’ve decided, at least for this week, to return to doing my weekly summary bit by bit each day instead of all at once on Sunday. I’m hoping this will help me get back into the habit of creating summaries that are a bit more substantial than just hyperlinking my work for the week. … Continue reading Looking Back: Week Ten

Week’s Over. It’s late so I’m going to keep this summary a little bit shorter than usual. It was also a fairly short week in terms of how much total work there was, although each individual assignment took longer than usual. First we looked at Rodger Ebert’s piece on “reading movies”. Everything is explained in … Continue reading Weekly Summary 10

Reading Movies: http://applications.emmasaxophone.com/video-storytelling/reading-movies/ I found this article to be interesting and weird at the same time. The article had some good points on how to analyze and criticize a movie. I thought it was weird though how he went on and on and on about what he analyzed more then how to analyze. Look.Listen.Analyze: http://applications.emmasaxophone.com/video-storytelling/look-listen-analyze/ I never really tried analyzing a movie

This weekly focused on Video, which I actually enjoyed because I got to showcase myself a little more which is ALWAYS a fun thing to do. I learned a lot about film making and what goes into it, things like zooms and camera angles that I never even thought about were brought to my attention. […]

The Original Assignment I chose this assignment because I will take any excuse to listen to more music! I love the band “Haken” and I listen to all of their songs all of the time. They make concept albums which are one long story themselves so I thought they would be perfect for this assignment. … Continue reading Lip Sync Assignment

Here are my daily creates for this week: http://ds106.boscoe.net/daily-create/cartoonize-a-selfie/ http://ds106.boscoe.net/daily-create/akira-in-one-take/ http://ds106.boscoe.net/daily-create/feeling-groovy/ http://ds106.boscoe.net/daily-create/my-missing-pet/ Here are my video assignments for a total...

Roger Ebert’s “How to Read a Movie”: Ebert’s view of reading a movie was unlike anything I have ever even thought about. His analysis goes does all the way into how to view a character. He says that the characters on the right side of the image are positive, and characters on the left are negative. […]

The original Assignment I chose this assignment because I really really like movies and I think there a lot of inspirational movies out there that I want to share with people. Movies should be watched not just for entertainment, but they should be inspirational resources or they should make you expand your thoughts. I chose … Continue reading Movie Clips and Reflections

What’s Your Skills??? Was the name of this assignment. You were supposed to record something that you considered to be a skill. So I told my friends on the UMW Basketball team that I needed to record a skill of mine. They said lets show them how high you jump! I thought it was a […]

  This week I learned about the different techniques involved in film making and I learned how to do basic editing on videos through Movie Maker. It was fun doing video assignments this week because it was something new that we hadn’t done in the previous weeks. The feedback I got on my blog this … Continue reading Weekly Summary 10 →

This assignment was called “Highlight Reels”, you were supposed to take an athlete and create a highlight tape for them! So the athlete I chose to you was the one and only James Baylor, MYSELF! I used the highlights from my last season and mashed them all up together using windows movie maker, I got […]

It’s the first day of November, which also happens to be the last day of Week 10. Time for the summary! The first assignment I completed this week was reading Roger Ebert’s article “How to Read a Movie” and watching two short videos about cinema techniques. I wrote up a blog post about my thoughts … Read More →

This week was honestly one of my worst. I couldn’t get any of the video software to work on my computer so I wasn’t able to complete any of the video assignments on time. But I did learn that everything from the camera angles and how the cameraman zooms in, to things like lighting and … Continue reading →
