ds106 Video Assignments 159 "Video Essay"

So here is one my favorite music! I just love this music and it makes me wanna dance. I like the music more than the video clip itself but I will explain in detail later, after you watch the Video!!!!!

The music is called “In the Dark” and the artist is Dev. She always has her unique way of music videos and I really like her musics. The theme of this music is Dark, which is shown in the black color. There are a lot of sexy scenes for example when she is surrounded by people and she is lying down naked… When I first listened to this music I thought the music video is going to be a lot of dancing, in a different locations but it was quite different.

It is very easy to understand this music video because it is shown in the color and the way she sings is a little slow and also repetitive. I think these days, most of the music video turned into sexual lyrics more than deep meaning… Which makes me a little sad. I think the music in the 90′s were the best because it all has more meaningful lyrics and lots of emotions… This is why somehow music in the 90′s never dies…??? Music now a days dies eventually and it is the matter of time. Artists gets popular but they might not be popular the next year?!

All and all I really like this music not so much the music video. I hope you will like it too!

ds106 #2 ; Video Essay

Here is the video. This is the music video of Korean famous group (They are famous in Japan, too!).



Usually, every songs have story. But I think this video is brilliant because even this song is sung in Korean, we can understand the story.


I’ve watched many music videos, but I have never seen this kind of video.


Whatever your mother language is, you can understand this story. Every pop music video should be like this (in case it has clear story.)

Becoming a Teacher

I have lived my life by visions and hunches, dreams and intuitions, signs and gifts.

I have lived my life by visions and hunches, dreams and intuitions, signs and gifts.

I took a short break fromĀ DS 106, which is a MOOC or Multi User Open Online Class in Digital Storytelling, to take a three day workshop at theĀ Center for Digital StorytellingĀ in Berkeley to make a short, first person video-narrative created by combining recorded voice, still and moving images, and music.

  • I also wanted to start thinking about a project I want to develop calledĀ The Soul of Lane Community College Digital Storytelling Initiative,Ā so you’ll hear that theme starting to emerge, too.
  • This is my first video-narrative, so there was, and still is, a big learning curve!

Please leave a comment if you have feedback for me!

Video Essay

this is the commentary of a video. I am going to write about a movie trailer that I love.
I always watch this movie when I am in need of something and when I feel I need to refresh my mind.

this trailer reallly depicts well the importance of the color and mood.
and especially music cuts in the very good timing.
since I love this movie so much, I went to see the locations with my mother last month.
most of the locations are in Kamakura.
but I think, because of the color and brightness of this movie, it shows the sadness of the main character well. and this trailer edits well at that point.

Video Essay

So, this essay should be about movies or audio commentary, but since I have personal reason to love this video, I want to talk about it.

This video is about Kimi Raikkonen who used to be an F1 driver.
He was a great driver, especially in Suzuka circuit 2005.
In the race, he started in the end of the line and won the race!
I was watching the race there around chicane corner with my father.
I cannot forget the excitement!

He couldn’t go ahead from his rival until the final lap, but he was calm all the time.
He never got upset. He quietly made the distance between him and his rival shorter.
When he finally went ahed from his rival in the final lap, every audience stood up.
The moment was so great that I cannot explain in words!!!!!
