Letter to Little Ole Me

4 stars – Dear 16 year old Me

For this assignment, I decided to cinematically write a letter to my 16 year old self. It was a different time back in my younger years and looking back I made a lot of mistakes but, hey, you live and learn right?

For this I used iMovie to record and edit my video.

 

Tooting my Own Horn

2 stars – Today it’s all about me

As the name suggests, this is a video talking alllll about myself. Yep, that’s right it’s all about me and my likes about myself… perhaps even a confession.. shh… it’s top secret.

For this I used my agency laptop and recorded myself using recording tools such as photobooth. Hope you enjoy my bragging session.

 

Ultimate Dream Destination

3 Stars – Dream Vacation

Obviously, every stylish, vivacious, and classy broad like me needs to go on crazy vacations every once in a blue moon. My personal dream destination would to be to get out of this crazy Chicago town and go West to somewhere warmer!

For this assignment, I used some pictures of LA through a google web engine search and used a youtube to mp3 converter to get the sound “California Gurls” by Katy Perry to overlap my pictures.

Little Words, Big Meanings

3 Stars

I thought using some meaningless words would not get the point across properly until I started thinking about myself “WWSSD” aka what would Sylvia Stone do? Then I got to thinking about my girls, my maNOIRpulator girls and our shenanigans. So the words I picked were (1) Crazy (2) Men (3) Get (4) Murdered (5) When (6) They (7) Sleep! Then of course, my final touch was adding a logo for my crew, the MaNOIRpulators. I extracted my music of course from YouTube, I’m a write not a musician, don’t get your thoughts twisted there, Big Boy.

How to Open a Lock Tutorial

4 stars

For this video assignment, I decided to do a tutorial for opening a lock in 30 seconds (or less!). I was successful at completing this task. To record, I used my photobooth app on my laptop and moved them over into iMovie so I could do overlapping with words and compile everything together!

Music Video – 5 stars

This assignment like most of the assignments this week took a lot of work.  I am really proud of this video. So right now a 80’s workout video had Taylor Swifts Shake it off dubbed over top and it makes a pretty hilarious video. So I took this assignment and created my own version of […]

Its all about me! – 2 stars

This is one of the assignments I said I would do last week. I was waiting until the “right” time to record it. I figured why not do this at midnight. I think the late night made it a bit easier to talk about myself. While this was only 2 stars it was a bit […]

Strip the music – 4 stars

So this assignment was a lot of fun.  I had to strip the music out of one video and put new sounds on top. I decided to put a different song over top of it and create a new video. I took the band 1975’s song Chocolate and removed the music. I then added Beyonce’s […]

Dear 16 year old me – 4 stars

This was really self reflective for me. I really liked this assignment.

Censored! – 5 stars

So this assignment was a lot of fun! It also was probably the hardest one I have completed so far. Not only was the process hard to censor a word out but the creative process was hard too. It took me a few days trying to find the perfect video and word to censor out. […]
