For week 7 I was able to once again use my newly learned photo and video editing skills. In my post You Are What You Eat I created a propaganda poster. For video editing I made a digital news article in my post called Breaking News. Lastly, I made a post called Runa Reacts where I have my character comment with her own fake Twitter account on other propaganda posters.
New Experiences and Discoveries
Used Canva for video editing
Learned how to make gifs
Used ArtBreeder
Used a Tweet generator
Daily Creates
This week I created 3 Daily Creates which can be found in my post called Inside My Creative Mind.
For this Daily Create I was supposed to create a gif from a scene from one of my favorite movies. I chose the Disney movie Tangled because it was my favorite to watch as a kid. For creating the gif I used MakeGif and added the captions Here comes the smolder because that is the funniest part from that scene.
My Daily Space
For this Daily Create I was supposed to show the opposite of my usual perspective every day. Normally I am sitting doing schoolwork on my laptop for hours so I took a picture from the backside.
Unexpected Fairy Tale
For this Daily Create I was supposed to write a fairy tale. For mine I chose to do the typical story about a prince rescuing a princess from a dragon in a tower, but I did mine with a twist by writing that the princess was the actual dragon who was just cursed into dragon form and was waiting on a prince to revert her back into human form.
Ever imagined how Runa Starr would react to propaganda posters? Well your dream has just come true! Here is Runa’s reaction if she had a Twitter account.
Since Runa Starr is a young adult I tried to think of what would she most likely use to comment on other people’s propaganda posters. Social media made the most sense so I used TweetGen which is a fake tweet generator that allowed me to write out her reactions as if it was a real account. I made sure to apply her personality to each post with emojis, big reactions, and using all caps to emphasize certain words.
Warning: Due to video size make sure to watch video in full screen mode which you can click at bottom right of the video to view better!
Video Process
I wanted to make a more modern style news article similar to what I would see while scrolling on my phone, so I used Canva to create my news video. The red and white color theme was used to make the announcement look more urgent while the audio soundtrack I added was to help with making it seem more like a realistic news article. The video of the shootout from the Terminator is a gif I found from MakeGif that I edited in. The process was fun and I love how the video easily transitions between each slide as if it was professionally made.
The food you eat are the bricks that build up your body. Everything you consume has an effect whether you notice it now or years later. So every greasy slab of meat, glob of butter, and sugary honeybun leaves your body gross and sluggish. Why do that to yourself when you can choose the healthy bricks like delicious fruit, roasted vegetables, yummy bread, and seasoned nuts that leave your body strong and energized! So choose your next bricks wisely and become vegan.
Poster Design
I chose to make my propaganda poster based on veganism because I tried to think of what type of poster would be seen by my character Runa Starr in her world. She loves snacking and eating fast food so I feel like it would be common in a futuristic city to have vegans protesting and spreading posters to stop eating meat around her favorite fast food restaurants. Runa isn’t vegan so I doubt the poster would have any influence on her especially since she’s a young adult who loves junk food, but I tried to design it to have a visual impact. I used ArtBreeder to make Ai generated photos of a humanoid burger until I got one that looked creepy enough with its gross body and bulging eyes staring at the viewer. I also liked the picture because it helped to push my narrative with the added words You are what you eat. I used Canva to add in the effects of the warning police tape and the captions in the front I included Become Vegan Now before its too late! I also made the font red with the final word “late” in all caps to make it look more urgent.
