My Video Assignment was making one archetype video by choosing five movies. I used more than five Seconds. I picked -pole dancing scenes in movies…
For my forst video project I decided on the the classic game show entrances. The corner stone of game show culture, the host.
For my mash-up I choose
1) Bob Barker, “The Price is Right”
2) Alex Trebek, “Jeopardy”
3) Pat Sajak and Vanna White, “Wheel of Fortune”
4) Bob Saget, “AFV”
5) Hollywood Squares
One Archetype, Five Movies, Five Seconds 3 Stars
“Create a five second video of one archetype from five different movies cutting together one second of each.”
I choose to use Funny Guys as my archetype:
For this project I choose the archetype funny guys, These 5, Jonah Hill, Steve Carrell, Will Ferrel, Michael Cera and Zach Galifainakis are definitely my favorites. They are a certain type of funny, witty seemingly without having to try. The audio is a clip on Zach laughing in one of my favorite movies, Due Date.
I made the video by googling images of all of the guys, dragging those photos to iMovie, recording the audio from a youtube clip through audacity, adding the audio and wah la!
One Archetype, Five Movies, Five Seconds
This is video assignment 448! It is worth three stars and the assignment description was:
“Create a five second video of one archetype from five different movies cutting together one second of each. Examples could include: Prisoners, Thieves, Beauty Queens, Kings, Robin Hoods, James Bonds, Bank Robbers, Assassins, Bad Boys, Kung Fu Masters, Femme Fatales, Sports Heroes, High School Bullies, Rogue Police Officers, Brainiacs, Pregnancies, Principals, Mean Teachers, InspirationalTeachers, Gunslingers, Gangsters, Monsters, Bartenders, Warrior Princesses, Swordsman, Knights, Mad Scientists, Nerd Girls, Obstructive Bureaucrats, Sidekicks, Wise Old Men, Hardboiled Detectives, Tough Coaches, Swooning Ladies.”
Before beginning this assignment I watched a few examples, my favorite was Minions with an F in Evil because I thought it was a very unique archetype and it made me laugh! I also liked the Librarian example because it too was funny and unique in my opinion (just A LOT longer than 5 seconds).
After watching a few examples, I decided to create a video about princesses! Disney princesses basically consumed mine and my sister’s childhood. We still have so many VHS tapes and probably 95% of them are old Disney movies. This project definitely allowed me to reminisce, life was so much easier when all we had to worry about was the princess finding her prince. I think most people know the basic story line of many Disney princesses. I think this will be a video that others can relate to. 
The first step in making this video was figuring which video clips to use! I searched YouTube for Disney princess clips and chose 5 that I thought would be good for the video (one from The Princess Diaries, Pocahontas, The Little Mermaid, Cinderella, and Snow White). After all 5 clips were downloaded, I had to cut them down to 1 second each (this was HARD). I tried to let the 1 second clips each demonstrate something new to each new Princess. (The amazing new room, the fancy under wear, legs, magical ball gown, and a life saving kiss) Once I had each clip trimmed down, I loaded each clip into Movie Maker and dragged them in to the order I wanted and then I added a text box on each clip (for those who can’t tell what is occurring with just one second of viewing time). I originally trimmed the clips in MPEG streamclip and then trimmed them a little bit more in movie maker, but I preferred Movie Maker’s trimming feature. It was a little less permanent (which is nice because I kept changing my mind). I didn’t add any opening title or ending credits because I really wanted this video to be exactly 5 seconds! And believe me that was quite a challenge!
I guess this is kind of its own, condensed princess story. If it had a narrator…
“Once upon a time, in a land far far away, there was a new princess, crowned just yesterday. This princess was in awe over her new fancy room and huge new bed, and even her underwear were fit for a princess or so she said. This princess transformed and became as beautiful and graceful as a dove, until she died and could only be saved by her a kiss from her one true love.”
I know its a bit cheesy, but I put in extra effort to make it rhyme, all good fairy-tales rhyme.

Another One Archetype, Five seconds video.
My diabolical plan to pump up the activity of the Daily Create seems to be working; The first day of the Daily Create Challenge is not even over, and I see already 21 tornados submitted (the challenge was to draw a tornado).
I’ve been growling and calling people out, daring them to do 7 Daily Creates in a row, and then weave together in a blog post, make something out of it, and leave a comment on my original post.
THERE IS NO SLACKING OFF!
I decided to enlist the help of five tough guys, and at the same time complete a ds106 video assignment, One Archetype, Five Movies, Five Seconds. Created by Michael Branson Smith, this is one of the more popular assignments, with over 50 examples listed:
Create a five second video of one archetype from five different movies cutting together one second of each. Examples could include: Prisoners, Thieves, Beauty Queens, Kings, Robin Hoods, James Bonds, Bank Robbers, Assassins, Bad Boys, Kung Fu Masters, Femme Fatales, Sports Heroes, High School Bullies, Rogue Police Officers, Brainiacs, Pregnancies, Principals, Mean Teachers, InspirationalTeachers, Gunslingers, Gangsters, Monsters, Bartenders, Warrior Princesses, Swordsman, Knights, Mad Scientists, Nerd Girls, Obstructive Bureaucrats, Sidekicks, Wise Old Men, Hardboiled Detectives, Tough Coaches, Swooning Ladies. Check out an example here:
I got lax on the five seconds, but these guys are tough and they will be in your face if you get soft about this challenge:
Pay close attention to Gunnery Sergeant Hartman:
“You will not laugh, you will not cry. You will learn by the numbers, I will teach you [to be creative]” – just by doing 7 days in a row of The Daily Create

Thanks to a tweet from GNA, I realized I missed a golden clip:
“Boy, I am two seconds from being on you like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snowstorm,” Me as Major Payne. Serious.

I also used the Warfare drums freesound music by jobro http://www.freesound.org/people/jobro/sounds/87136/
And you should know (thanks to a 6th bad ass Major), for some of you I am two seconds from being on you like white on rice in a glass of milk on a paper plate in a snowstorm…
Now I wil try and get a little (a tiny bit) serious. I see a lot in our students and open participants, sometimes to take the assignments and Daily Creates way to literal. Like today, draw a tornado. Sure you could take 115 seconds, and make a swirl on a piece of paper, and be done. Fine.
But where is the challenge to yourself in doing that? How is just doing the minimum going to make you more creative? It won’t. It is a jelly doughnut in the foot locker. It is less then #4life.
Here is what I wrote some of my Arizona colleagues when I nagged them on the CyberSalonAZ google group list:
Here’s the scoop -open your minds and do not be trapped in being so literal. Is it really a challenge to yourself to quickly make a swirl on a piece of paper?
Ok, that is the basic requirement. But it shows no imagination. No extending of the creative muscles. It is all too often what we see in students- set the bar for expectations, and they aim right for that.
The whole point of the Daily Create is to extend yourself, not just to do what it says. Frankly, I will yawn if I see a bunch of swirls.
The magic here is how you *interpret* the assignment. It does not have to look like a tornado, but represent it, or what it calls to mind. Maybe it’s the witches legs underneath a house. Maybe its a lonely view out a windshield of a storm chaser. Maybe its a drawing of a shower drain (think how the water goes down). Look up the etymology of the word and go from there. Draw something that represents the places(s) where tornados happen.
A few years ago when the Daily Shoot was active, I spent a week doing the *opposite* of every challenge. THERE ARE NO RULES, why are we so bound by rules? Make something up, and explain it or tease it out in a caption. See what Michael Branson Smith did in his by making a cat tornado in a baseball stadium. That is taking the assignment to a new (and weird) place.
Or there was someone who said yesterday’s assignment (a photo of a cloud that looks like an object) she could not do because it was overcast and rainy. LAME. Make your own clouds in the shower! Draw them on paper! Make shapes out of cotton balls.
No excuses are valid in my book, none.
You do not get to be better at stuff by doing the minimum. That keeps you at the same level.
The world needs more bending of the rules, more making end arounds, more creativity.
If you really want to see someone who gets this, listen to this talk by Helen Keegan:
You will not laugh, you will not cry. You will learn by the numbers, I will teach you.
Tomorrow is Day 2. Bring your top game.
I’m a librarian. You probably guessed that. We librarians are a dedicated bunch and tend to be defensive about what we do. You would be too if you were constantly asked, “Why do I need a librarian when there’s Google.” Yeah. Screw you, buddy.
So here’s my take on the One Archetype, Five Movies, Five Seconds video assignment.
The librarians are from Ghostbusters, Party Girl (Parker Posey), The Matrix (Marcus Chong), Desk Set (Katharine Hepburn and Joan Blondell), and The Station Agent (Michelle Williams). The music is “Marian the Librarian” from The Music Man.
I’ve heard it argued that though Tank is not actually called a librarian in The Matrix, but he does a lot of librarian-ish work. So there you go. I also think the scene is representative of the high-tech world in which librarians work (and dominate thank you very much).
in order to this assingment
1st you have to install firefox in your compute if you don have it
2nd Download firefox youtube downloader
3rd drag it to final cut and work on it, now you have to test you ideology on final cut choose the scenes that you like the most and work on it.
I choose this particular theme of mixing cartons getting scare with charlie chaplin’s movie the lion cage.
this particular assingment was one of my favorite for the mixing

I used i Movie it was pretty easy after I downloaded from youtube the hardest part was to break it own to five seconds which I didn’t acomplish about 10 seconds long. Star value: 3***
watch?v=3iDxq1EBpPs&feature=youtu.be
This is my One Archetype attempt and the theme is Bad Boys. Took clips from scenes of Bad Boys, Boyz N the Hood, Scarface, South Central, and Menace II Society. Basically showed clips of the characters doing bad things.
