Things are’t what they use to be. For this assignment pick a product, a piece of technology works best but you can use anything, and create a short video timeline of how it looked way back all the way to how it looks today. Be sure to add dates.
For this audio assignment take a conversation between multiple people over a text based medium, like Facebook or Twitter, and create a audio version of that same conversation.

Your task is to create a story by using audio snippets from songs. The trick is you have to have the last word of your clip, be the same word that starts the next clip. Use at least 5 different songs, try to include different genres or decades.
Find all the YouTube videos of your songs and position it to play a little before the part you want to capture.
