This week was all about putting everything together. Over the last couple of week’s we have developed both technical and creative skills to give depth to our characters through our work. This week came easier than the previous weeks because of thetrails and tribulations I experienced before now. It was great being able to put together all of these skills and create some cool assignments. I even find that I am solving issues faster as you will see in the Behind the Creation portion of WE WILL NOT BE SILENCED. I am proud of all the work that I did this week and I hope you will enjoy it.
Behind the creation: After I brainstormed I realized that you can get an Ai to build a prompt to give you an outside idea of how your video can look. For this I used this free resource: https://boords.com/ai-script-generator and wrote something along the lines of political video aimed at taking down aggressive technologies because they use loopholes in company contracts to leave millions jobless to put in place Ai.I used the script that boords created to create another script for my AI voice to read off of for my video and put it into narakeet (another free resource): https://www.narakeet.com/create/ai-voice-generator.htmlI also used the script to look up stock videos for my PSA on Flexclip another partially free resource. Note: If you run out of free stock videos to add, search for a video that you want in the search box and just right-click and save as. Then you can put a blank black box scene to your video and then replace that with the video that you saved! I ran into that problem but it was quickly solved! https://www.flexclip.com/editor/I then compiled all my videos to the audio of the AI and found a suspenseful track to add to give it a propaganda feel. Also, the text added at the end was purposefully red to give an intense and serious feeling to the video and appeal to the viewers’ emotions along with the clips. I then exported the clip with the free option to export with the watermark logo.
Behind the creation: Marie is obviously against AI and aggressive technologies so she often makes direct memes from an account under her pseudonym. This is one of them, you may also occasionally see propaganda videos on that account that she makes after the kids go to bed. She uses a burner account and is super careful to not give any leads back to her as it may affect her livelihood. I made this using a Free meme generator and a popular meme background.
Behind the creation: Being able to step into the shoes of Marie for a little through third person was very fun, I wish that there were other videos to respond to but I understand that I move fast with DS106 work. I will be looking forward to seeing the other PSA videos over the next couple of days and seeing how others respond to them. I like seeing how everyones skills that we learned in the last couple of weeks really came together to be able to create PSA videos that seem somewhat realistic.
Behind the creation: For this, I decided to think about my absolute favorite castle Hogwarts. We were asked what castle we would rather visit and our experience. So obviously I had to say Hogwarts because what other castle outside of Rapunzles is as iconic? I said that I would be mystified by the magic and knowledge during my visit.
Behind the creation: I tried doing a portion of the ds106 logo on PhotoFunia but it didn’t all fit I think this gave it a unique look! This daily create was fun and short!
Behind the Creation: For this, we were tasked with coming up with or showing a picture of something pure. I immediately thought about a baby picture. So, I uploaded a picture of me when I was a baby.
