DS106 Radio Bumper

Here is my ds106 radio bumper I made using Adobe Audition and the audio library on YouTube. I have never really played around with an audio editor before. It was very similar to a video editor so thankfully there wasn’t much of a learning curve to it.

Week 4 Summary-Photography

Photography week is definitely one I easily got myself lost in. I enjoy the challenge of finding a “new” abandoned building(though I didn’t use it for any of the assignments). I also loved being introduced to Annie Leibovitz and the malls of the 1980 ‘s. What’s beautiful is that it’s all about capturing this moment in time. Though I am familiar with photography I am definitely still an amateur in this field; but I look forward to perfecting the craft.

Here’s my abandoned building if you wanted to have a look see. https://www.instagram.com/p/B2vePLVFhpB/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Film Photography Tips

Since this course is 1980’s themed I figured I’d go ahead and do tips on film photography. There are things you have to keep in mind when you want to shoot a good unfiltered picture on film. You have to be more purposeful. Film is limited, so take all the general tips of photography like lighting, composition, contrast, angle, etc and apply it to each shot. Then practice. Try landscape and portrait and everything in between to see what you like. Also take that camera with you to capture the things that only happen when you are in the right place, at the right time. Remember, that camera is an extension of you and your point of view. Those pictures are just as much a part of you as something you drew or painted.

Here is a website I ran across last year that showcases film photography and gives useful tips for this classic medium. https://www.thephotoargus.com/photography-techniques-macro/

In History

Since it is hard for me to take a full-body picture of myself, I decided to use an old picture of me doing a bigfoot pose for this little project. I would like to tackle this assignment again with a little help in taking a better picture for the task.

A Day in the Life (a visual story)

This is a typical day in my life when I am not at school or when my children are at their dad’s house. This particular weekend involved potting my new plants and testing out one of my Polaroids. My picture was distorted, because the film got stuck. I had also recently joined a postcard club and purchased old postcards from the local antique store to send out.

Summary week 3

Storytelling is something that is all around us. It is something we need to familiarize ourselves with in order to compete and stay relevant. Although stories do follow the same overused outline there are ways to brand a story in a way that makes it refreshing. It is no secret that Hollywood isn’t producing “new” stories, but I have noticed over the last decade that the same old stories have reached a deeper level than before. Their writing seems more daring to explore relatively untouched subjects now. Storytelling has also become a major part of video games as well. I personally enjoy the “story rich” video games the most, especially the ones that are released one “episode” at a time.

Anyway, here are the writing assignments for this week.

Letter from out of the blue

I recently just joined a postcard club and will be sending out postcards this week. I have already received 3 since joining. My plan is to find a stack of old unused postcards from an antique store and use my typewriter to write them out. I will update this post when I have finished writing my postcards to send out.

Update: I just finished typing out my antique postcards. I bought a couple extra postcards and think I will send one of them to Tom Hanks very soon.
