Another week here and gone. Movie time is the theme. When I signed up for this class, I knew nothing about it other than it would full fill my digital intensive credit and it was all online. That worked for me. I thought or rather hoped it would involve being a movie critic. In case you haven’t noticed I have a lot of opinions or am good at coming up with one to write about. So, finding a movie to…
The main assignment this week was to learn about film making by watching and reading some information. I Highly recommend the You Tube series “Every Frame a Painting”. I learned a lot and enjoyed them very much. After we did our learning, we had to take a clip of the movie and do a voice over of our critique of the scene. I was looking at the list of movies on Wikipedia, we were supplied, and I realized I have…
Today’s daily create was to compliment in kind to a compliment bot. The bot would not load for me. I found a picture taken about 5 years ago and thought of a compliment to go with it. I have always really enjoyed this picture of my youngest and am happy I found a way to use it. The daily create 4416. link to post This picture was taken a few months after we moved into this house. She didn’t want…
Ah goals. Things to strive for, a marker of growth, a way to assess failure or success. I dislike public failure or failure at all. I still don’t know how to properly make a gif. I am happy with how much I have learned to do in Audacity. I am still struggling to remember how to use Adobe photoshop and Illustrator. I have discovered I like writing a blog. I like writing out my thoughts and explaining what I have…
Submit a word to the poem portrait site, let Google take your pic, and see the result. This was the assignment for the daily create. MsMapex: “I didn’t know what the plan fo…” – ds106 Social The above link takes you to the post I made on Mastodon. Or you can just see the uploaded copy below. I also had to agree for google to take my picture. Since I didn’t know what the picture would be used for a held…
Here I am playing catch up again this week. Week 3 was rough, so it bleeds into week 4. Here are 3 daily creates in one post. here is a single I was instantly overwhelmed by the audio assignments listed for this week. So, I broke it down to just one assignment at a time and tried not to look at it as a whole. Here is the first assignment I finished. After finishing my Radio Bumper, the audio assignments…
The following is a fake 911 call Lady Alice E Smythe made as a child. It is an example of her character trait of knowing more than everyone else. I estimate her age in the recording to be around 9 years old. sit back and enjoy listing to the “emergency”. The voices are mine or my 9-year-old child. I made her so it counts. I hope you enjoyed the little story as much as I enjoyed making it.
Audio Assignment 416 Hear it Here I wrote a very short little story that uses homophones. The words sound like other words, but can you tell what they mean without seeing the spelling? enjoy the recording. I used a new microphone attached to headphones to do this recording. I think it is a little scratchy sounding. I need to work on making it clearer. Until this week I hadn’t made a voice recording before on a computer. When I was…
I had a difficult time thinking of something to do a story on with no words. It came down to crunch time Friday afternoon and I had no ideas. Hopefully you don’t find this too boring, but it is a rather peaceful walk. So, sit back and destress and enjoy the sounds of taking a dog out without leaving your seat. I used sounds I found on Free sound and the following are a few of the ones I used….
I was able to make it to the 1st night of group radio listening. I have listened to vintage radio shows before, so I did have an idea on what to expect. We listen to “Do androids dream of electric sheep” It was a great story. They made great use of the sounds to let you know where the characters were at any given point. They sounded different in the car then they did in a big empty space. There…
