So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This week, I completed one of the mashup assignments that tasked me with merging two audios of the same song, one live and one recorded, and to highlight the differences between the two. You can check out my completed project embedded below! Switching while ‘Praying’ This assignment is relatively easy to complete so long as you know how to use audacity. It took me awhile to get to learn how to use audacity so I thought I would take this chance to make a tutorial for how to complete this assignment as well as how to use audacity! The first ...

One of this week’s mashup assignments tasked me to take a dramatic closeup of anyone’s face and superimpose an unrelated landscape or scene over the face. I’m going to be honest with you all…when I first read this assignment description, I immediately decided I wasn’t going to do it. Photoshop and photo editing is probably one of the things that I feel most uncomfortable about. And since this assignment was photoshop heavy, I decided against trying it. However, I couldn’t help but look at past class examples which were so entertaining and funny, I really wanted to make my own. ...

Have you ever noticed how different live music sounds compared to the album version? Most people assume that recorded version of music sounds ‘better’ due to the ability of editing. However I ma someone who firmly believes that live music will always be better than recorded, and one of this week’s assignments gave me the chance to prove it! One of this week’s 3 1/2 star mashup assignments tasked me with finding a live version of a song by the original artist and then mixing it together with the recorded version of the same song in attempts to highlight the ...

One thing that most people don’t know about me is that I am absolutely OBSESSED with Broadway and musicals in general. To date, I have seen about 15 Broadway shows and definitely have performed concerts in the shower singing along to some of my favorite songs from musicals. So, when I saw that one of this week’s 3-star mashup assignments consisted of remixing one of your favorite songs from a Broadway musical to show the different covers that have been created over the years, I knew not only that I wanted to complete this assignment but what song and musical ...
(Don’t) Call me Picasso

This entire semester has taught me a lot and taught me a lot about the strengths and weaknesses I have as a communications and digital studies major….and one thing I have learned is that while I have many strengths, art is not one of them. One of this week’s web assignments tasked me to create images using google draw while an online software attempts to guess what I am drawing. I have seen a lot of my classmates complete this assignment, and thought it looked like a lot of fun so I wanted to try my own hands at being ...
My Family Google Map

Everyone has a story of where you came from. Our ancestry has become a topic of recent popularity as of late, with people paying money to send their DNA to a company that will then track down their ancestry for them. When I think of my ancestry, I think of one thing: Italian. My mom was first generation Italian. My Grandparents left their friends and family behind and immigrated to the country before my mom was born. My mom’s family tree stems back generations and generations to Italy, so I knew that I had strong ancestral ties to Italy. However, ...

They say a picture is worth a thousand words…so I wonder how many words a moving picture is worth? I’ve had to create a story using nothing but audio for this class before, however one of this week’s assignments tasked us to tell story using nothing but GIFs. This web assignment was titled “Guess that Story.” Using nothing but Gifs and a few clues, the task was to tweet at least 5 Gifs that perfectly depict a myth, folklore, or legend. Can you guess this “cool beans” story? #WebAssignments2300 pic.twitter.com/6NLuy4bzxF — CommTweetWithMe (@ChrisMeyers2019) March 18, 2019 However, it took me ...

For my final audio assignment of the week, I decided to continue exploring music in female secret agent stories by completing the Old Vs. New assignment, in which we are to combine an old song with a newer cover of the same song and highlight the differences between the two. Continuing with creating assignments that we can possible discuss on our radio shows, I decided to make the focus of my Old vs. New mashup Kim Possible! Kim Possible is a secret agent classic for many, and she is one awesome female secret agent! News broke about a couple of ...

One of this week’s audio assignments tasked us to create a mashup of two songs and combine them to create one new song. This assignment stuck out to me because the differences in music and audio between male and female secret agent films is one possible discussion topic my group and I thought about for our DS106 radio show called, “Girl Power.” I thought it would be a really discussion starter for my group’s radio show to combine two secret agent theme songs, one from a female secret agent film and one from a male, and would be a really ...

For one of this week’s audio assignments, I decided to create a radio commercial that can be played during my group’s radio show. My commercial is a commercial for the new Nancy Drew movie that is coming out this March. I decided to do a commercial for Nancy Drew because our show is all about awesome female secret agents, and in my opinion Nancy Drew is one of the greatest female secret agents. To make my commercial, I downloaded to movie trailer as an Mp3 file. Using Audacity, I uploaded the file and cut it down to make it shorter ...
