Remix #4: Video
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Hamlet / Puddle of Mudd Pop-Up Video For my final remix project, I used a music video to a song I use when I teach Hamlet by William Shakespeare. In the past I have brought in the songs “Lithium” by Nirvana and “Psycho” by Puddle of Mudd to use as possible connections to Hamlet’s precarious mental state. Both of these song lyrics have been useful in helping students grasp the complex mental processes, and possible mental illness, of this complex character. In addition, I allow students to cite song lyrics along with critical articles and movie scenes from a number ...

For my fourth and final Remix project I decided to select the assignment Movie Scenes That Changed Your Life. We were to select 3-5 Movie scenes that had a significant impact on your life. I decided to select a scene from Antwone Fisher, a scene from Love and Basketball and finally a scene from the movie Save the Last Dance. These three scenes have changed my life in their own personal way and I discussed them in the short film. At first I thought that this project was going to be very simple; however, I was sadly mistaken. This fourth ...

Remix #4 – Video

] As a teacher, I realize the value of a well-crafted video. Taking the written word and making the themes, images, and ideas explode in a cacophony of color for the learner. What many of those learners do not realize is the sheer amount of time it takes to make each minute of those short videos come to life. This project was the same. Days were spent going through all of the different options for this video remix project. Finally, I settled on looking at movie that influenced or left a lasting impact on my life. The task for this ...
Final Design

When I read over the description for “If Movie Posters Told the Truth,” I knew I wanted to do a scary movie because they are all so predictable. One of my favorite suspenseful movies is Final Destination 2. This may be due to the fact that a friend of mine took me to see this movie with her without having seen the first one. I thought it was amazing because I was enwrapped in the guessing of who was going to get away from death, because someone had to escape. Afterwards, I went back and viewed the first film and ...
Remix #3 Reflection: Truthful Movie Posters
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this remix project, I was inspired by both the Halloween season and the emergence of advertisements promoting the next, and thankfully last, installment of the Twilight films. Being a huge fan of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, I have watched the evolution of his character and story through television, serialized novels, films, and even graphic novels over the years, and I believe that Stoker’s original vision has been clouded to say the least. I have always been fascinated with the metaphorical value of the vampire – blood as life, immortality, and the intimacy of his methods. All of these themes hold ...
Remix #3 Postcards From Magical Places
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this remix I decided to make a postcard. I was really hoping to go all out with this one and use the more advanced version of Pixlr. My original thought was to use the existing picture of Ireland (a shot that I took myself when I visited in 1999) and layer another picture with it to create a fanciful location. I was really hoping to insert a picture of the “wall” from the HBO series Game of Thrones and use it as a new horizon. Unfortunately, this was a LOT more difficult than I anticipated. So, after more than ...
Remix #2 (Audio): Jingle Jangle Tutorial

Step 1: Write the Script All projects start with a good script. This script, while not my best, was fun to write from the perspective of a dog. I was inspired, of course, by the cutest puppy in the world! Step 2: Pick the Background Music I believe that this step is just as important as the script. I wanted to make sure that the music not only fit the tone of the project, but that it had meaning to the subject as well. Jordan LOVES Adele, so her song “Someone Like You” was a natural fit. I chose an ...
My Romantic Ringtone:)
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
For this assignment, I was inspired by a romantic proposal video that my husband and I found in a moving box that had yet to be unpacked. I’ve been in reminiscent, little-girl-crush mode all week. I decided I wanted to remix a ringtone to assign to Nathan when he calls me. Music has always been an important part of my life (I still have a secret desire to be a famous Reba some day). I find meanings and connections in music in which I can relate. Therefore, I decided to compile some of the songs that make me think of ...
Audio Assignment #2 Otis Remix Tutorial
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
So I decided to make my own rap song to one of my favorite songs Otis by Jay-Z and Kanye West. I thought that this task would be extremely difficult to complete; however, it was quite simple. The fact that I had a MacBook made this task even more simple because I was able to use the Garage Band application. I started my journey to music production by going to YouTube and getting the instrumental to Otis. I converted it to an mp3 song and put it into my iTunes library. I am not sure if this is entirely legal ...
