Narrative Ambiance

In order to produce this video, I used Premiere which gave me the opportunity to add music along with my voiceover of the poem called Roads We Travel by Marilyn Lott. I’m not familiar with her other work or sure if she has any other work but I found this poem online and really like the message of it. This is past footage that I had on my flash drive and decided to put it to good use. Last week I found a website that provides free music and it’s really great sounding as well. It’s called Epidemic Sound, and ...

Day in the life This was by far the most enjoyable project this week since I got to document my life experiences. I downloaded Adobe Premiere Clip, which is an awesome video editing application for your phone. This made compiling my videos and adding a soundtrack really easy and convenient. I highly recommend the free software. If I had an opportunity to record the videos again, I would film more of them oriented landscape style so that more of the video frame is utilized. And given more time, I would like learn how to switch between the background music and ...
Narrative Ambiance

There’s something really simple and beautiful about the way Benjamin Alire Sáenz writes. I’ve read this particular book, Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe, a few times now. I’m always amazed by how much he says in so little words. The book is poignant, and real, and painful sometimes. I decided to read chapter seven for this assignment because I think it’s the perfect example of all those things. In this chapter, the reader can tell how much Ari, the main character, is struggling with something in him that he can’t see. In that same vein, the reader ...
Snow on the rainbow bridge

The second and final video project I chose to do this week is the 4-and-a-half (?!) star Narrative Ambiance assignment. I chose it because I thought it would be easy. I was dead. wrong. I like to film the weather – if it’s raining, windy, snowing, you know I’ve got a few minutes of video of it. I make videos of the trees in my neighborhood in fall, too. There’s always that one specific day when all the trees are at their most brilliant colors: yellows, oranges, and those amazing, beautiful REDS! All cast against a cloudy, gray autumn sky. But for ...
Eleutheromania

F+or 4.5 stars, I did the Narrative Ambiance assignment, which asked us to: Take a favorite poem, inspiring quote or passage from a book (or even a movie monologue, if you like!) and record yourself reading it. Then set it to original video you’ve recorded with some kind of music or sound effect in the background. The final video should be at least a minute long. The goal of this assignment is to tell a story that evokes a specific mood–sadness, joy, hope, anger, fear, peace, wonder–and to do so not only through the literal meaning of whatever you choose to ...
Poem Drive

This is a Video Assignment and its worth 4 stars. This assignment was to take a video of a natural setting and then record yourself reading a poem or a story that would kind of resemble the scenery that you are in. I chose to use my host character again in this assignment and for her to pick her favorite poem and then recorded it. I recorded me and my friend driving in Fredericksburg since it seemed that it would be the most natural thing to do with driving and having my character stare out the window as she reads ...
My Name is Jack Neff. I’m a Writer.

This is the narrative ambiance assignment worth 4 points. I took this monologue from the horror video game Alan Wake by Remedy Entertainment. Just to be clear on a few things, the Stephen King quote ends after the line “the poetry of fear.” The rest is the monologue from the game. Also, where the original line is “My name is Alan Wake. I’m a writer,” I inserted myself, Jack Neff.
Fire and Ice

I chose to do the Narrative Ambiance and incorporate it with Layla. The poem Fire and Ice by Robert Frost goes very well with Layla (alarmingly so) and I thought that it would be perfect for her. I tried to speak in the way she would, you know like husky and low toned but I suck. Anyway, since we are “changing over” I’ll stop talking. I had once considered the world a wonderful place. You could have called me a romantic but in my line of work that doesn’t last long. I don’t see the world that way anymore and ...
Visual Vibes through Alessandra’s Eyes.
So far, 0 people have completed this assignment and it has 0 views.
This week I completed the four-star Video Assignment “Narrative Ambience” in regards to Caterina’s mother Alessandra in order to show and further explore her inexplicable lust for Italy, a fervent love that selfishly caused her to place her desires over her family at a young age. Having matured over time, Alessandra has realized just how much she gave up when she chose herself over her true love, her daughter, and has recently been feeling much regret over her utter foolishness. The music I chose (specifically the orchestral suit from the Lizzie McGuire movie, aka, the soundtrack to my childhood), takes the ...
Nighttime fear

I’ve definitely been intimidated by these video assignments, but this one allowed me to incorporate one of my favorite things: poetry. I also knew after watching the example version that this would be a great opportunity to use my character as part of the story. Picking up where we last left Damon, he’s still feeling lost, confused, and more scared then ever since he’s now mixed up in additional trouble after that radio show and vacation with Bev. Damon has become scared of everything, most notably the darkness. Fear has crept into his life the way light creeps over the ...
