Website Band Creation
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
Another day just me being bored. So I thought why not create a random album for a band that does not exist? Going through websites to give me the words and what I need to make it weird and not make sense. To create something to laugh at or regret later on.

After reading Roger Ebert’s guide to reading movies, we had to analyze a classic movie scene. Given that a lot of the scenes for me were from movies that I had never heard (except for a few, such as Rocky, Apocalypse Now, and The Dark Knight), I decided to use the cutscene from Destiny 2: Forsaken just after Cayde-6, the Hunter Vanguard and one of the “wise guys” from the series, has been shot and permanently killed. I feel the high contrast in the video helped describe the new tone of the game, whereas before the game had been more ...

This is the tell a story assignment from the assignment bank is worth 3.5 stars. Wow! This was an absolutely amazing assignment. I had a bit of trouble deciding on the topic and tone I wanted the my story to have. So, in the end, I actually came up with a quick, dark situation and expanded on it. I will admit that this is a pretty sad and not uplifting at all, but I feel that the mood and overall tone of the story reflects this as well. One thing I really tried to make sure is to have the ...

The scene starts with the crew in the background of the shot as they move towards the camera and start moving from left to right,both of these changes are in the positive direction. This is meant to set up the scene as a good thing they are moving towards. Once they are in the shop and talking with someone Matt Damon’s character is constantly put in the left side of the screen with the person they are talking with center right of the screen. This positioning shows that the other person holds some form of importance. The lighting of the ...
Lines, Dots, & Curve Tutorial

During my semester in ds106, I found this assignment to be the best assignment all year. This was the best assignment in my opinion because it was easy and fun. It was easy because you didn’t have to do a lot; all you had to do was follow the directions of drawing 4 lines, 5 dots, and a curve to make any sort of design. If you were able to do those three things, then you could easily complete this assignment. For this tutorial, I will show everyone what I did to make this assignment as easy as possible to ...

Well, that’s an odd title, but essentially, that is what I am here to teach you how to do today. Today you will be learning the essentials in… (drum roll)… how to record a day in the life! You can view the one I created here. To make this tutorial easier, I have created a list, and incorporated images so that you can have text to read, as well as a visual. First off, I wanted to point out why I decided to create a tutorial around such a straight forward topic. That is because I truly enjoyed recording a day ...
5 Second Film: The Plan
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This assignment was one of the hardest assignments with trying to figure out what to do. The concept seemed easy with it being that you just have to take a 5 second film about anything. This means that you have to have something quick to film like a quick joke or gag; but I just couldn’t think of anything that funny in that short amount of time. Then I remembered my dad’s plan for everyday life that he always says before he goes to work. However, I didn’t want it to feel scripted; so I just asked him what he ...
Poetry Reading

I’ve always liked poems. Whether its reading it in a book, as a quote on Twitter, listening to poems being read, or just listening to the poetry in music I’ve always liked poetry. So when I saw the chance to finish off my audio assignments with a reading of a favorite poem I jumped at the chance as if I wanted to dance. But then I had to think of what poem I should talk about and read. At that moment, I thought about the poem my grandpa told me read of Langston Hughes’ “I, Too” and thought it would ...

For the first assignment, I chose “A Letter to Yourself as a Child”. Dear younger self, You are 12 years old and you are about to start your first year of middle school, congrats! I know you’re scared and anxious to begin a new life at a new school, but things will be fine. Although you’re scared to make some new friends since most of your friends from elementary school went to a different middle school, you will eventually make friends through some trial and error. A few words of advice I have are, don’t be too stressed and just ...
Dear Sixteen Year Old Me Tutorial
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
I thought that since this was one of my favorite assignments of the class that I would give a run down of how I approached this assignment! Step one: Open up a word document. When you are writing a letter to yourself in the past there is no way that you can come up with that off the top of your head so the best thing to do is to type it out or write it down. Keep in mind that when you are writing this down you are eventually going to be recording yourself reading it so you might ...
