This week was really short like last week. I do admit in the beginning I was stressed because I thought that I had to do everything on the assignments page but it was really part a or part b. I chose part b which was three visual assignments! Most of the visual assignments I used to add more depth to my character and it was really fun to create! I thought about some creative ways to do these assignments because filming during this week would be too time consuming while studying for my upcoming exams. When overcoming this problem found that the solution was to find free videos to use for my assignments through a website like how we used free audio instead of recording audio. This taught me how to match up the audio that I found on free audio with the free videos on the website, which gave proof to some really nice work that you should check out. I also added more depth to my course character in the weekly assignment, which was really fun to do, and I have gotten so much great feedback from it, which is exciting. I cannot wait to do more assignments related to Marie! I am learning a little bit more every week and its nice being able to see how I can put this to toward maybe starting that youtube channel I was thinking about! Perhaps I will use these techniques to do a youtube video for my first trip to Disney world over spring break!

Week of 1/29/2024- 2/2/2024
I feel like this week was by far the longest and most high-paced that I have had yet in college. Things on campus were breaking left and right and Apogee was acting slower than usual, so doing assignments took longer than expected. On top of this I was also studying for two classes for an Exam and a Quiz with the material being very hard too comprehend but we made it through this week! Lets get into my creative process for this week.
There were three weekly assignments, fairly easy to complete. I didn’t have any problems with the material this week but again I had problems with wifi. By design is my review for the articles that I read at the beginning of the week and the content was really interesting. I even learned some of it in IB Art last year…. thank you, Stu. I learned from the articles that there is a lot that goes into making a simple movie poster. I also happened to watch a video about design from one of the creators I enjoy on youtube called: Animation before computers by the odd1sout. His video was mostly about animation design and how it has developed over the years but please check his video out! The next assignment was Generating Art and is the Middlebury demystifying art assignment. This one was straight forward and honestly there wasn’t much behind completing this. I did answer a question about my subject J. Cole and why I chose him. It was simply because I was listening to his music at the time. The photoblitz was the most fun assignment I created this week. I was watching tv with my boyfriend and dog when I remembered it. I quickly got to work trying to capture photos in my dorm. I like the out come of some. I uploaded my start and end time photos, along with 5 of my best photos. I tried using a gallery photo block to post it.
Next, I completed two visual assignments from the bank as Marie E. Pearl. These are fun to do because I am pretending to be someone I am not and it forces me to think from their point of view. The newspaper article is not funny to me but it would be something that Marie would write to be funny. Also, I chose a quote and scene to complete the other assignment as Marie. You can see these down below! There were only 3 daily assignments that I did this week. For the first daily create that I did I chose and uploaded a gif image of my first job, which was McDonald’s. Daily Create #2 was about what my walk-up song would be and I chose I’m an Albatroz which I have never seen anyone use before and I feel like it would be a new and fresh walk-up song. I can visualize myself walking into a MMA ring with this behind me. The Last daily create, I was tasked with finding a word and image to describe the moment right after a nap from which I chose postdreamhaze. I feel like everything is in a thick haze after a nap and I am left feeling disoriented. Thank you for reading this week’s review!
