Week 5 seemed like a short one. We only had 4 blogs not including this one. The main assignment for the week was the video essay. I found this assignment a bit challenging for me. When I was looking over the assignment, I was a bit intimidated because I had no idea how to create a video with a voice over. My initial thought was to go to YouTube and find a video on how to create a voice over video. After watching the video, I felt a little but at ease because I had an idea of what I was going to do. My first step was to find a movie clip to use, I ended up using an opening scene from Star Wars: Episode 1 A New Hope. Once I found my clip, I recorded my voice over on Audacity and downloaded the finish recording. Final I uploaded both to Wondershare, A video editing software, and meshed the two together. Overall, despite the challenge, I enjoyed this assignment and would do it again. The daily creates for the week were kind of boring in my opinion. There wasn’t much that interested me this week compared to last week. They just seemed less appealing to me and lacked creativity. My goals for DS106 haven’t changed and I feel like I am on track to meet my goals I set in week one.
Until Next Time!
