Christina A. Pascucci – Project #2 – Revised

Hello All!

Here is the updated version of my second video project.  I added music to the background to improve it, which I was very excited about when I figured out how to do it!

Thanks,

*Christina*

 

And here is my updated first project, the narrated slideshow.  I added music to the background and put additional images in, so the same ones were not showing for extended periods.  It was nice having class with all of you this semester!

COMM 563 – Project #3 – The “F” Word – Christina A. Pascucci

 

 

 

Final Project Assignment

Hey, all.

So again, the request here is simpler than the product.

We are proposing a 1 and a half-minute video clip. Do not make it 1 minute/less long or two minutes/more long. Your video should follow the storytelling and branding rules we’ve discussed.

Make lighting, audio, and image the highest quality. Remove popping, dark images, or stretched images. No clip art style images. Try to make all work your own. You should have proper credits included, if you use any unoriginal imagery.

The point of the video: that the viewer walks away knowing your person, place, thing, or idea, e.g. your subject, in detail. Your video should answer the question “can you please explain what you mean by (subject)?” Consider how our video examples did this.

Dear Sophie clearly explains the ways in which one uses Google products to enhance a father’s relationship with his young daughter. It uses quick changing screencasts to do this.

It gets better clearly explains the idea that as time goes on, we seek out and find those who accept us for who we are because of what we do, and not forever doomed because of prejudices. It uses quick changing interviews to do this. If you were to condense this into a 1:30 minute clip, what might you do?

Sh*t (stereotypes) say (above) shows various examples of what makes a stereotype.  It uses quick changing skits to do this.

We want to see a rough draft this coming week. You can call me if you need anything at all.

If you’re still having trouble with your person, place, thing, or idea, consider exemplifying a leadership theory principle, why you love your favorite person (show, don’t tell), or what makes your favorite space in the world your favorite. I’m not saying to do this, but a Sh*t Digital Media Communication Profs Say would not get a bad grade, probably.

Pasqua: Transliteracy

This weeks readings focused on the future of technology and how the different mediums are constantly merging. Transliteracy is the notion to communicate across different platforms, tools and media providing the user the opportunity encode and decode what they are trying to communicate. As technology continues to merge to create new tools and products, it will be integrated and impact our lives differently. The second reading explored the technology tools that are emerging. Specifically, the use of emerging technology within higher education.  These tools and technology will impact how educators conduct their course and engage with students. Some of the technology that was discussed included cloud computing, mobile apps, social reading, and learning analytics. The last reading was a letter from the CEO of Google. In his letter, he discussed the future of Googles products and their impacts on the lives of their uses.

With the changing landscape of technology and the changing nature of work, it is crucial for leaders to understand current trends and critically analyze what new technological tools will best help them manage their workforce and accomplish the goals and mission of their organization. The Horizon Report highlighted emerging technologies and the possible impacts on higher education. This article was especially interesting for my current line of work within higher education. This article provided new insight of technologies to research and begin to develop ways to incorporate them. It is important to review reports of this nature to discover what may be on its way.

Here is a video urging libraries on universities to consider transliteracy as they develop programs:

The area that I struggled the most was with the first article and the concept of transliteracy. While I feel that I understand the basic concept, I had a hard time deciphering what the author was trying to communicate. On some level, I felt that he was arguing that it wasn’t appropriate work for the concept.

1)   If you could develop a new technology/tool what would it be?

2)   What is a current technology/tool that has change the way you work?

These articles impact my future assignment by highlighting the possibilities of technology and what is to come. I am not sure what the next assignment will be, but it may be fun to explore an emerging technology and its usefulness within my work.
