4 stars For my final video project I decided to revisit the first video I ever tried to make. I saw the Life as An Animal assignment, and inspiration struck me. Last year my sister and I filmed a bunch… Continue Reading →

Original Assignment (4.5 Stars) The next video assignment I decided to work on is the “Connected Clips” one. This initially was tough for me because I had a hard time deciding what show to do that had a good amount of reoccurring themes. Then I realized the show “Family Guy” was the perfect show to […]

…In iMovie, that is. Seriously, though–this was definitely the hardest assignment for me this whole two weeks, and it’s because I made a simple mistake. Worse yet, the simple mistake is quite visible in the final product. Ugh. My perfectionist... Continue Reading →

4 stars I decided to do the 60 second day video, because I like the idea of having a documentation of my day. The assignment was to take 60 one second videos of your day. I chose it because I… Continue Reading →

For one of my Video Assignments this week, I chose to do the Bleeping Censor Assignment (5 stars). For this assignment, I spent most of the time just trying to find a video with a lot of cursing in it. Unfortunately, the… Continue Reading →

Sports pump it up video: For my video I chose to do a video on the Washington Capitals. Choosing the Caps do this project on was easy. I love following Washington sports teams. I really love baseball but hockey is the next best thing. I knew that I wanted to choose the song “Pretender” by The Foo Fighters. This was… Read more →

As promised in my video assignment preparation post, one of my assignments for this week is the name that book Vine challenge! Except, whoops, I kind of disobeyed: I didn’t actually make a Vine account. Here’s the thing: I love... Continue Reading →

I decided that it would be a cool idea to try out vine for one of my video assignments since I see a lot of funny videos from there but have never had an account myself or anything. So I tried the Vine it! assignment. I tried to capture a day in my life but […]

My Safe Haven I added a bit of humor aspect to this one, as I took a picture of my bathroom as part of my safe haven. Geek Magnetic Poetry I basically just dragged a bunch of random tiles together to form a simple question about playing a possible aliens and dragons droid program. My […]

When I saw this assignment, I knew I wanted to do this one. I was already very familiar with Vine and how it works, I had an account that I made last summer. So I used it and video taped, using my phone, what my Sunday morning to the afternoon looked like. After I completed […]

What an interesting two weeks it has been, working with video/editing. I thoroughly enjoyed all the video assignments I chose, minus the required “cloning” video. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool effect and all, but it was pure mayhem … Continue reading →

For my first assignment this week I chose to do the sixty-second day project. I chose to do Saturday as my day to life myself because it is usually my most hectic day. I run around, get errands done, work, and do my school work. I thought it would be the most interesting day to film. What I love about… Read more →

This weekend was a blast, and this is why: before I came to UMW, I spent my freshman year at Sweet Briar College in Amherst, VA; the institution has gorgeous grounds and wonderful faculty, but the overall size was a... Continue Reading →

Original Assignment (4 Stars) The next video assignment I decided to do was the “Dear 16 Year Old Me” one. This assignment had me thinking quite a bit, because I was trying to figure out what to say that would be significant towards my sixteen year old self. Then I thought, hey, there was a […]

5 stars Wow, this assignment was the absolute worst. I played around in iMovie for forever, but I couldn’t find a way to merge my two videos realistically at all. I saw on a classmate’s post that they used something… Continue Reading →

1) Sounds of Construction A tale of sounds around me, most of which are very unpleasant. For every bird singing and cricket chirping there is the sound of cement being made and saws slicing through steel. 2) No Flag, No Country For the flag of my country I went with a traditional and well known […]

4 1/2 stars For the silent film assignment, I decided to focus on Jurassic Park, as it is my favorite movie ever. I saw that someone had already made a trailer of it for this assignment, and I didn’t want… Continue Reading →

This assignment like most of the assignments this week took a lot of work.  I am really proud of this video. So right now a 80’s workout video had Taylor Swifts Shake it off dubbed over top and it makes a pretty hilarious video. So I took this assignment and created my own version of […]

In this assignment, we had to create a 5 second video that summed up an entire movie. It was not very difficult to create this, it was a lot of fun and simple. All I did was take the scene I wanted from the movie and put them into Windows Movie Maker and trim them […]

The next video assignment that I chose to complete was Return To The Silent Era. The goal of this assignment was to take a scene from a modern day movie and turn it into a silent movie style video. To start... Continue Reading →

This is one of the assignments I said I would do last week. I was waiting until the “right” time to record it. I figured why not do this at midnight. I think the late night made it a bit easier to talk about myself. While this was only 2 stars it was a bit […]

The Ticket: The Ticket November 16, 2014 No parking in the firelane No parking by a sign to stop I’d like to keep on moving by But I’m the parking poet cop You cam to watch the game in eagle nation You parked illegally and have earned a parking citation  

These past two weeks have been mostly enjoyable and not to stressful. I really enjoyed getting to pick video assignments, there were a lot to choose from, so I didn’t feel so limited, and could do assignments based on what I enjoyed. I used iMovie for all of my videos, which was very simple to […]

Daily Create writing assignment: My First Tweet: Was a quote from my boyfriend’s uncle. “Who the F* would call during the Super Bowl” I look back at my first tweet and laugh because I remember this moment so clearly.

Week 11 & Week 12 Come Together As One Have a Conversation With Yourself Show Your Skills But First, Let Me Take a Selfie The Hangover Assignment I Am Me Vine It Daily Creates These two weeks have definitely been the most challenging. Before learning any of the aspects of videos and recording, I didn’t think […]

Have A Conversation With Yourself – 5 stars Can I just say, out of all the assignments I have done this semester for ds106, I came super close to HATING this assignment. I worked on this the entire day today, not knowing how to convert the video into one whole video with the overlaying of […]
