Hello everyone! This week our group has planned and scheduled the days that we will complete recording & editing.
Yesterday, most of the group completed their confessionals. I will complete my confessional tonight at 4:15p with Martinas help. Then on Wednesday @ 2:30p we will film the remainder of our content. Woohoo!
Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday we will all make contributions to editing & finalizing the content.
In my post, The Real HouseWives of Cyber Manhattan I gave my first update on how my group was doing with our short film. We had made some further progress, that I talk about here: Cyber Wives Update #2.
We are making great progress so far! I would say we are close to halfway done right now with filming our content. Over the weekend we are fine tuning all of our bumpers and commercials & on Monday we will be finishing up with filming the rest of the content portion of the film.
For the remainder of next week, we will all be pitching in on editing and piecing this film together. I’m very excited to see the final product.
Yesterday we started filming our short film. We got about halfway through filming our actual content! Very exciting! Coni checked out camera from the HCC, we took turns filming each other in different areas in Ball Hall.
Next week on Monday we will film the remaining content.
Over the weekend we will all be finishing up our bumpers and commercials.
It’s Wednesday! My group and I have decided on our entire plot and completed writing our scripts yesterday. We also decided who will be doing what; Editing, picking up the camera, bringing props, making bumpers and commercials. All the things.
The Real HouseWives of Cyber Manhattan will start filming two of their opening scenes today @ 4pm.
All cast members are stoked! Lol
I completed 3 Daily Creates. I got to post about puppies, water, and some dialog I overheard.
Below is the blog post that has the trailer to the short film I’m going to be in!
The Real HouseWives of Cyber Manhattan!!!
This piece was so fun to create with my fearless femme girls, well now they are my HouseWife friends from Cyber Manhattan. Each of them is so talented and creative. Martina and her wonderful planning and editing skills, Olivia and her creative Canva Intros and music vibes, Coni and her tech-savviness and gracious support, and Kristen with her bubbly personality and overall creativeness! The short film trailer was a success.
Read more about the process of this short film trailer in my blog post above 
Enjoy your weekend everyone!
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!! This is so fricken cutee. I love making content like this with my fearless femme girls.
To record this trailer we had to…
Overall, recording was so much fun. It kind of felt awkward at first but Martina and Liv put on some Sabrina Carpenter, and we started vibing and it all started coming to life.
I have to give credit where credit is due! Martina is a wonderful editor and has helped us tremendously with the editing role for our films, along with her still being involved in all of the other tasks that are required to generate this type of content. She described the editing to us as, clipping the videos, adding the backdrop picture to the green screen, and then adding some music to it.
Also, Oliva created the intro part with Canva. I think it’s perfect for CyberPunk theme and goes really well with the rest of our material.
I can’t wait to finish this project up with them next week and create one huge final piece together.
This week I did 3 daily creates
#tdc4834 #ds106 #ds106 This Daily Create was all about survival skills!
All I need is my water jugg! LOL I can live without the rest.
#tdc4836 #ds106 A Daily Snippet.
This DC was dialog overheard and used as the opening thought of a poem.
“Read the textbook. Write down the formulas!” – Dr. Zhao <3 His commentary is the best and always the highlight of my day lol
#tdc4837 #ds106 National Pet Day
Not my puppy, but I wish it was!!! So cuteeeeee.
The daily creates were a blast, as always!
Cheers!
During week 11, I got to have a wonderful Radio Listen Experience, have some fun with daily creates, and start planning for my final project.
My radio show experience consisted of tuning into Noir News’s radio show and tuning into my own (Fearless Femmes). They were both wonderful to listen to and it always feels so cool to listen to myself and my classmates airing live.
I loved how everyone had the freedom to be creative and make their shows what they wanted. It was so cool to see and hear how incredibly different our show content was about but also very interesting to see things that we did similarly. Like using robotic or monotone sounds and things like that.
I also took the time to reflect on my own work in the radio show. I want to work on not depending on a script so much, steer away from talking too fast, and keeping my voice alive and not going monotone when reading from my script. I think I would sound better and more natural if I wasn’t focusing so hard on-going word for word on my script.
Here’s my Daily Create Shenanigans from Week 11! I completed 3 this week; Topics were about April Fools Jokes, Narnia, and Irony!
Lastly, the fearless femmes group decided to continue to work together on our final project. We have been brainstorming ideas and narrowing our focus. I’m very excited to work with them again.
Happy Friday Everyone!
I complete 3 daily creates this week! I’ve posted the links to my posts on Mastodon below.
DC #1: April Fools Day Jokes
A classic April Fools Joke:
DC #2: Where does this door open up to?
IT OPENS UP TO NARNIAAAAAA.
DC #3: Irony
Ironically Named Or Name It Ironically. I chose this for my daily create – partially because it made me giggle and also because the other one that I found HILARIOUS may have been deemed as inappropriate or controversial LOL so I settled for this one, still funny and ironic though!
I tuned into the Noir News radio show on Wednesday @ 8:00pm. I was driving in the car, and I had put it on the radio. Unfortunately I could not follow the discussion on discord because I was driving.
First, I want to say great job to the Noir News cast members! I had to remember that the news wasn’t “real” news I guess you could say haha! Overall I thought their transitions were great, content was cohesive, and the show was interesting!
I liked that the PSAs, commercials, and the topics were realistic as if they were the real news stories with that futuristic twist to it. The content was consistent with information that seemed informative for the setting, and news/weather related. I thought it was pretty cool that there wasn’t much coordination between the cast members before recording and everyone kind of chose their story to present on the show. It made it interesting, it wasn’t repetitive, and I think it gave everyone individuality in this group project.
I was also pretty intrigued from the robotic sounds or monotone narration for some of the show. It seemed especially appropriate for the PSA telling everyone that police recommend people to stay in their houses and to not follow/go into the tunnels, especially if they see robots walking in pairs into the tunnels. The sound effect made it sound very serious, intense, and suspenseful.
The topics were really creative as well; Stuff happening on mars, robotic dogs, academic enhancements that corrupted Sarah’s brain, and the danger of robots.
Great job Noir News! Thanks for being my entertainment during my long drive home.
Listening to my own radio show (Fearless Femmes)
I had already listened to it after the final editing had been done but hearing our groups final work air live on a radio station is a really cool experience! It made me proud of my group all over again, made me giggle at times, and also made me reflect on some things I would like to work on for future assignments.
Personally, I’d like to work on my radio voice, I noticed I was speaking really fast at times or my voice lost some life/went a little monotone because I was reading from my script.
We did have some technical difficulties so Martina wasn’t able to talk much about the process of the radio show & editing but we tried to give that info in discord. Having that discussion in discord and getting feedback from other students was awesome too!!
My radio show experience was lovely.
Thanks DS106.
