Scenes with an Impact

For this assignment I used scenes from 10 Things I Hate About You, Pretty in Pink, and My Girl. All three of these scenes/movies had a different effect/impact on my life. I really don’t have a lot of life changing effects from movies, so I’d say they altered my perspective on life, made me think about certain situations differently. For this assignment I recorded myself in audacity speaking about the different scenes and then imported them in to movie maker. The clips I downloaded with YTD, converted them to MP4s, edited them with Streamclip, converted the edited versions to windows media files, and then imported them in to movie maker. I added transitions and titles before them to give a little background as to why I picked them. At the end I explain in more detail my decisions for picking the scenes that I did.

Supercuts are a serious of clips which highlight a sertain aspect/clique/theme/line which is overused or just frequently implemented in a piece of media.

For my supercut I chose True Bloods Ginger. For those of you who have never seen True Blood, I watch it because I find it to be funny… though I don’t think it was meant to be that way. A common thing for Ginger to do is scream… at everything… always. I tried to tell a story of the day in the life of Ginger, opening the bar, dealing with guests and the varies vampires she works for.

In honor of Firefly’s 10th Anniversary of it’s cancellation I decided to do a tribute assignment to them in the Genre/Song Mash up. in this we were to take clips from varies TV shows/movies that exhibit a similar aspect and set it to a popular song of today.

For Mine I chose Alligator Sky by Owl City and did a science fiction style spaceship motief featuring shots of Serenity, the space ship from Firefly. I thought the song lined up perfectly with the shots, and I tried to capture the emotional bond between Captain Reynolds and Serenity. Clips include many shots from star wars, star trek, Firefly and others. I hope you enjoy your flight, ad remember to be good to your ship.

A Word. . . A Picture. . .A Story

For this assignment I I picked the first seven words that came in to my head; lemon, rainbow, tie, nose, window, if, loser. I have no idea where those words came from, but they were there so I used them. As per the instructions I Googled each word and picked one of the first ones that came up. I then imported them in to Windows Movie Maker and created title slides in between the photos to help my story along. I used the speed up effect so it didn’t lag too much. My story kind of came out of no where, its more of a poetic piece.
