For this assignment, find the most interesting newspaper article titles you can and try to put them in an order that will tell a story. Copy and Paste the article titles into a blogpost and link the individual articles at the bottom of the post.
If you had the opportunity to create your own theme music, what would it sound like? Get creative and create your own sounds or select an instrumental from Youtube or any other source that represents you well. If you are going the youtube route, remember to use VidtoMp3. Once you have selected your background music, find some sounds/effects to incorporate into it using Audacity or other editing software. You can find free sounds at SoundBible. Once completed, upload to Soundcloud and share it with us.
Music producer Nick Pittsinger slowed Bieber’s “U Smile” down 800% and the result was ethereal magic. Find a song to experiment with and slow it down to the point where it becomes an amazing piece of ambient music. If doing this with Audacity or any other non-linear digital editor, you’ll likely have to perform multiple lengthings of the song. Be sure to pitch shift so that even though the track is longer, it doesn’t become just a low pitched version (think of the sound used in a slow-mo moment of someone yelling Nooooooo).
Here are a couple of suggested task specific tools as well:

TV and movies are full of product placement these days. Take a clip from a TV show or movie where they discuss a product (food, technology, movie, restaurant, etc. and turn it into a radio ad for that product.
For this assignment, make an audio track using found sounds or your own recordings that is creepy, spooky, scary, halloween-inspired. Make it more than a minute long so we have time to get scared!
For this assignment, take a song that you love, and record yourself doing a dramatic reading of the lyrics. Then take another piece of music (obviously without lyrics) and set your dramatic reading to it. This should result in something that sounds very different than the original song. Post both the original song (for comparrison) and your new dramatic reading remix in a blog post.
Pick a film and create an animated mosaic from a single image (like a poster) or gif (a single moment). Divide that image into a grid – 3 x 3 for a total of nine images. For each portion of the grid add a different moment of the film into a new gif. Tile the new gifs together in a mosaic (tumblr does this well). The resulting set of gifs should alternate between the single image and the various moments.
Inspired by Jet Studio’s Cinema Mosaic Tumblr.
So I like to play Magic the Gathering. I thought it would be neat to try and create my own cards based on characters from tv, movies, etc. Come up with at least 4 cards based on characters or locations from your favorite show, movie, book, or other story. To actually create the cards, you can use this Card Generator site. Aditionally, if you are unfamiliar with the terminology used in magic, you can find the glossary here helpful. Get creative and make Magic art dammit!
Create some form of ID for a fictional character that seems believable, knowing your character’s environment or circumstances.
Use an existing template such as a credit card or library card from a found source and modify it as needed in your favorite graphical editor.
