On the 12th Week of DS106, My True Love Gave to Me – Week 12 Summary

This week was great. The work was easy and the Daily Creates were fun

Daily Creates

This week, I did Wednesday’s, Thursday’s, and Friday’s Daily Creates.

For Wednesday, the prompt was to use the Secret Agent Name Generator. The name I got was Agent Copper Nightmare. I then looked on Canva to find a design that matched the name. Because of the word ‘copper’, I wanted to find someone with a hair color that was as close to copper as possible. I also wanted the character to be evil because of the word ‘midnight’. I ended up landing on this design. I incorporated the dark clouds in the background for an eery effect

For Thursday’s Daily Create, the prompt was to use an overheard quote as an epigraph. The quote I overheard was “It’s all fun and games when you’ve placed all the boxes, and it’s not working because you misplaced one comma.” I was inspired by the lyrics from the song Take a Break from Hamilton:

In a letter I received from you two weeks ago
I noticed a comma in the middle of a phrase
It changed the meaning, did you intend this?
One stroke and you’ve consumed my waking days
It says

“My dearest, Angelica”
With a comma after dearest
You’ve written
“My dearest, Angelica”

The original conversation was about coding, but I took some artistic liberties to have the poem match the theme of the previous lyrics. Here it is:

“It’s all fun and games when you’ve placed all the boxes, and it’s not working because you misplaced one comma.”

You misplaced the comma

It changed the meaning

One wrong stroke

transformed the message

Spell check didn’t catch it

Was it really a mistake?

The last Daily Create was my favorite of the week. The prompt was to show your pet for National Pet day. I love my pets more than anything and I will take any chance to show them off! Here they are:

I procrastinated doing the Daily Creates this week but I got lucky and ended up with good prompts!

Final Trailer

The assignment for this week was to make a trailer for our final project. My group’s theme for the project is a reality show with our course characters. We met up in the HCC studio to record the trailer on Monday. We stayed for about 45 minutes and took a lot of different shots. Martina edited it and sent it over today and it came out so good!

This week was great and seeing the finished trailer was the perfect way to end the week!

Week 12

ECHO PROTOCOL TRAILER

This week I worked on finalizing the story and theme of how I wanted to apporach the final project. I also worked on and completed the trailer for the project.

I look forward to completing the Final Project and preseting a story about an AI taken over world

Along with the the trailer I completed 3 TDC this week, with no of them sticking out of being any particular fun or exciting

Trailer For Final

I felt inspired by my stabby baby. I admit I rerolled after I got a river fish…I was like whaaaa that’s dinner not a pet. I used picrew for my spy, it was an interesting name reminded me of those British spies with the round table names. As for the one for today I hear that quite a bit so seemed right to give it a deeper meaning. I am all for chaos. Anarchy and what not, civil disobedience boo yaa. Maybe that’s just because I am young. This week I also worked on my trailer for the project it came out cutely but as I work more the further away, I seem to stray from being a cute ai to something eviler. Still not all AI is bad y’all they were programmed with a task and there for are simply there to complete it. Who are we to give labels like good and bad when we are the problem. Me and Canva are busy being besties as I am and move audios and clips and scenes.

Trying to avoid photoshop but if I will go even deeper!

Week of Planning

This week was pretty low stress which was nice after finishing up podcasts. I really enjoyed listening to everyone’s podcasts and seeing how creative everyone was with their ideas. I also really enjoyed the process of creating the podcast with the Fearless Femmes. It was my first podcast and I think it came out great. Listening to everyone else’s podcast inspired new ideas for me in terms of bumpers and commercial ideas. To see my full in detail reaction t this weeks podcasts you can click here:

We have some really exciting ideas for the show! We met Wednesday to go over ideas and brainstorm. We came up with Final Project idea and agreed to film our trailer for the project Monday.

I really enjoyed everyones podcasts and daily creates this week. I can’t wait to see how creative everyone gets with their final projects and trailers! See you next week.

Week 11 Summary

We had a lighter week this week and got to listen to some radio shows. I was only able to listen on Wednesday because of night classes, and I actually skipped part of a club meeting for it, but I enjoyed getting to talk about the process. I completed my Radio Show Review about The Opposites Show today, though I had been working on it since Wednesday. I also completed three daily creates this week.

Daily create 4827, daily create 4829, daily create 4830

See you next post!

Weekly Summary: Week 11

This week was pretty light. The group that I worked on the radio show with decided to work together for the final. We started brainstorming some ideas but are still very much in the early stages of our product.

I was unable to join the radio show this week to hear the rest of the classes shows because I had games this week that prevented me from being available. My group mates joined and told me that they heard a lot of good things.

Lastly, were my daily creates. The first one I did was for April Fools day. My team lifts at 6am and the upperclassmen decided to show up late and in a different uniform than all the freshman. They started calling us and checking our locations. Later that day they got us back with a water gun ambush. The next daily create I did was the open the door. I thought that when I clicked on the link something was going to happen to the door… but nothing did. I went into canva and created an open door image and placed a unicorn inside because that’s what I wanted to be on the other side of the door. Lastly, I did the ironic name. I google searched ironic names and most of the ones that popped up were silly memes like this one of the sheep that I used.

Overall this week was nice and I can’t wait to see what my group comes up with for the final.

Week 11 the calm before the storm.

This week zoomed by quickly. I’ve been super busy as the semester is coming to a close. This week we were responsible for 3 daily creates which I was able to get done in the backend of the week. I was able to decide what was behind my door like the legend of Narnia, became a philosopher and attempted to solve a page of the Voynich manuscript, and to end the week was able to question the origins of the golden gate bridge’s name. The radiolisten was very eye opening and showed just how creative my classmates truly are. Seeing what everyone is capable of has me excited to see everyone’s final project and prepared to bring my A game for my own.

Listening To DS106 Radio Shows RULE

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!

My Creative Journey: Week 11

Summary

This week was just days of relaxing and enjoying all the effort put into the earlier weeks for our radio show project. It was fun being able to listen to everyone’s shows play live on the radio and I loved getting to experience having a bunch of people see my show! For more details on my experience you can go to my post called Lights! Camera! Action! I also completed three Daily Creates which can be found on my post called Inside My Creative Mind.
