Who are you? I am me!

I am me!

*work in progress!

I really enjoyed this assignment just because it involved doing a recording and over the course of DS106, I have gotten extremely comfortable infront of the camera! This assignment is called I am me, and you’re suppose to make a video that represents you to your fellow DS106′ers through whatever means necessary (videos, pictures, etc.). I decided to make an intro video but also follow the example given, and use some photos towards the end. I used iMovie as my means for making this project, and since I’ve been toying around with it for awhile, I’m getting used to more and more with each use. I had re-record a couple of times because I kept laughing to myself but it got easier after awhile. Next time,though, I think I will truly test my skills and see if i can take my all my snipbits and make a full video from them? I attempted that buuut it didn’t exactly work out. However, I still managed to make a complete video for this assignment! I also decided to get a little fancy and add a soundtrack to the video montage (Who Says?) This video assignment was worth four and 1/2 ?’s, which is understandable since it involves recording yourself but also being creative with adding in features (like a recording and photos!). The best part is that Youtube didn’t try to stop me this time from uploading it! (surprise, surprise!) Here is my I am me video!

The life of Brittney

I was searching through the ds106 video bin to see which assignment I wanted to do and I stumbled across a four star assignment called I am me for this assignment you had to make a video that represents who you are that allows my fellow ds106ers know about me here is what I came up with:

The many faces of Anapaula

The new assignment I created is called, I am me.  I wanted to do a video assignment that shows a bit of our personality and who we are.  With ds106 being mostly an online course, sometimes it’s nice to know a little bit about whose blog you are commenting on.  I felt that it was necessary in this assignment to show a little bit of personality and what we are about.  This assignment can be expressed in many different ways using videos. It doesn’t necessarily have to be multiples pictures of you, but perhaps have different things that you enjoy doing, or even talk about who you are.

I’m the kind of person that makes a million faces all the time!  You know those people who you see randomly, and kind of think why is she making that silly face? Well I’m probably the one making the faces.  I decided that a big part of my personality was just kind of being goofy, more down to earth, silly.  I wanted to portray this in the I am me video to show my fellow ds106er’s who I am.   I also decided to add music to this for people to get a sense of the kind of things I listened too.  I picked the song Video Killed the Radio Star by Buggles.  Who doesn’t love the Buggles, plus the song is a little ironic.  :P

This assignment is meant to be fun, and it’s suppose to express who you are and maybe some things that you like.  Allow your creativity to flow, and most importantly, HAVE FUN :)

p.s. excuse the hair, it’s finals week 

In case you wanted to see the video for Video Killed the Radio Star:

I am me

Make a video that represents who you are. You can either talk about yourself, show pictures or show things that you like to do (don’t let these limit you). The point is to be creative and let your fellow ds106’ers know a little about who you are and what you’re about. Feel free to incorporate things into your video (music, pictures, words, etc). Don’t forget to have fun while creating it.
