So this video assignment challenged me to record a letter to my 16 year old self. Basically I just recorded myself telling my 16 year old self thing he needed to know and what was going to happen in the future. Check out what I said to myself!

So that was good! For this movie I used the mac’s built in webcam. I edited several video clips of myself talking together using the software Imovie. I cleaned up the ends and starts of the clips also. I felt good with my results. Imovie has a feature which lets you upload your movie directly to youtube from it. That is a useful software.

So what do you guys think of my video letter. For those of you who knew me when i was 16, do you have anything I should of changed when I was that age? I could’t think of anything.

This assignment was worth 2 stars

For this assignment (http://assignments.ds106.us/assignmen…) I was to write a letter and video tape myself to my 16 year old self giving myself advice. I actually recorded this on the software that is already on my computer (Dell Webcam central) and it actually turned out pretty good! This was worth 2 stars

In addition to two tutorials, we had to create two brand new assignments to share with DS106.

The first assignment I created is called “Dear sixteen year old, me“! I feel very official having a DS106 assignment out there with my name on it! Basically all you do is write a letter to your 16 year old self and record it. I labeled this as a Video assignment, but I can see it working as an audio assignment as well, especially if you were to create a video with pictures of your high school days and have the recording in the background.

My inspiration came from this video, I know its about skin cancer, but I liked the general premise behind the video and thought it would be fun to write a letter to my own 16 year old self. All I did was record the video in iMovie, edit a little and add a title and credit screen. I gave this 2 stars because it is a relatively easy assignment, but due to the potential video editing and how fancy you get with filming it, I thought 2 stars was appropriate.

Here is my video:

The second assignment I created was another video assignment, entitled “It’s Vacation Time“! I LOVE going on vacation and traveling new places. So I thought it would be fun to have a video assignment to share pictures and memories from our vacations. I gave the assignment 2 stars. I created my example in iMovie, it’s about my trip on a Mediterranean  cruise. I even made a tutorial on how to do it.

This could really be a video or audio. But write a letter to your 16 year old self. Talk about anything you want. (I.E: Don’t cut your hair, you will look crazy. Or, don’t stress out about college, you will get it!) Just talk about things that you wish the 16 year old version of you knew back then.
