Recycle this media : Your task for this assignment is to mashup at least 7 different pieces of this media to make a new story, and use at least 2 different types (e.g. audio and image, imahe and video). The story most likely would be done as a video, but see if you can make these different kinds of media make sense as the content. What kind of recycled story can you make out of this cast off media?

This week we had to use recycled media from other ds106ers.  The recycle media had a total of about 150 different pictures, videos, and sound clips.  I was originally expecting there to be a lot more of recycled media, and a wider variety.  I was kind of dissapointed by how little audio clips they had that I ended up with a video made of pictures with a sound clip at the end.  I really like the way I used the media to create a story out of it.  I feel like it almost prepared me for my final project in a way of using separate media files and to create one story line.  By now, I’m basically a pro at audacity and iMovie, just kidding! For this assignment I wanted to choose the media first and then create a story line.  I thought this way I would have to be more creative with is, and somehow connect all of the pictures and sound clip.  I think that if I would have come up with a story before I found the media it probably wouldn’t have allowed for my creativity to flow.  For the movie, I decided to add subtitles to make it easier to follow the story line.  I really liked the idea of using media from other people to make something of my own.

Here is my end result:

The recycled media can be found here.
