Social Media Life

View Assignment Details

This assignment was fun to make. I had to pull things from different social media platforms to create a movie narrative of my life for 4 stars. I enjoyed this project because while making movies from pictures and words is time consuming I get satisfaction out of it. I was able to play around more with the photos app to create this video.

First, I went through my facebook, and my mom’s and other people that would have pictures of me and downloaded them to my computer to upload into the software. This program is very user friendly you just drag and drop the picture into the storyboard and then change the settings that you desire to. This inspiration comes from my life and how lucky and wonderful I feel I have been so far. I have had a great family and friends growing up and hope to continue to make and keep friends. I have learned even more how to use the photos app and the limitations it has like the transitions between segments of the movie or showing the words. I am re embedded the video because youtube took it down which is why some of it is now silence.

Social media in a story

View Assignment Details

This video assignment is also worth 4 stars! It was pretty simple: tell your story in a narrative with only using social media pictures. I enjoyed doing this because it allowed me to look into my past and see how embarrassingly young I was. Here’s how I did everything:

Step 1: I went onto both my instagram and facebook and found all the pictures that I thought would explain my story best while also seeing how I grew up.

Step 2: I uploaded all the pictures and music I would be using for this project.

Step 3: I then went into IMovie on my MacBook and started a new project. First I designed all the title slides so I knew what pictures to use where.

Step 4: After I put how long I wanted each slide to be, I chose which song I wanted. I used Bishop Briggs, Dark Side because I thought it would be funny since I am showing pictures of when I was young.

You can listen to the full song here:

Here is what my board looked like as I was working on it:

Last but not least, check out my final copy. I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Remembering what it was like to be in middle school is not something I like to do often. I was awkward and ugly, to put it simply. Having to look at old pictures from seventh grade through eleventh grade was a fun trip down memory lane but I never want to be that person again!

How I Did It:

This assignment was very simple, so simple I couldn’t figure out why it was rated 4 stars out of 5. The hardest part was having to get all the pictures together. I went through my Facebook and Myspace profiles to gather the most horrendous photos I could find from my adolescent years. I then went to Twitter and took screenshots of Tweets from 2013 to add into the slideshow. I put all the pictures into Windows Movie Maker and added music. I changed to duration of the pictures from 7 seconds to 5 so it wouldn’t be on one picture for too long. The last thing I did was add a transition animation to each picture and add captions to the ones I felt needed a little explanation. This was the easiest of the 5 assignments I did this week and it was definitely the most nostalgic!

Oh, look- middle school photos!

Facebook narrative assignment, 3 stars. I did it because it was 3 stars and didn’t look like an insane amount of work.

The thing that took the most time was going through all of my old social media to find these photos and videos. And since I’m a huge weeb, most of my photos are from conventions or are of me in costume. #sorrynotsorry. Unfortunately, I don’t have a few of my more recent costumes because I couldn’t be assed.

I went through my Facebook, Peter’s Facebook, and some of my friend’s albums before heading into my old tumblr. I found the hair video there, and it’s the first one I ever edited. I downloaded all of the pictured that I liked, put them into categories kind of, and added the transitions. I then added Mozart’s Piano Sonata 11 in A. Love public domain.

The major theme of this is that you can’t really tell what happened when, because I haven’t changed my core personality at all. I think that’s a good thing. I’m still a goofy dork who makes weird faces and finds the silliness in everything, because what’s the point of being a tight ass when you could make light of things? Bad things happen. This narrative has photos of some of the most difficult, heartbreaking parts of my life, as well as some of the happiest. People enter your life and leave it without warning or reason. Lives end, drift apart, come together. People can lie and hurt you, make you feel worthless, or lift you up higher than you knew you could go. All of this is guaranteed to happen, and there will be photographic evidence. Can you tell which is which?

Our generation has been using social networking for quite some time now. Take a moment to reflect. Look back at who you were, what you’ve done, and what this all means in those years now frozen in photographs on Facebook. Using anything that is published on a social networking site, such as photographs, video clips, and things you’ve wrote or tweeted, tell a narrative about yourself (example)
