Would You Rather . . .

 Below are some questions that'll get you thinking

Would you rather be:
    here or there?
    far or near?
    loved or liked?
    hated or forgotten?
    stabbed or shot?
    miserable and alive or dead?
    ...

The list can go on, but I pulled one that really got people thinking and asked ____ only.
But, which question did I ask to what group of people??

Actual blog post for this video to come :), just needed to get it posted!

Buddy Wakefield comes to WU

Winthrop University welcomed spoken word artist Buddy Wakefield on February 8, 2012

First "video"

"Something New"

Thanks to my Mass Communication class, I am learning how to make videos and all kinds of cool things. Not to mention the professor is AWESOME!!

Oh yeah, my first "video" is not really a video, just some still shots with transitions and music.

Either way it goes, it's all a learning process!

Multimedia Storytelling Critiques

The first multimedia story I stumbled upon is the "Come on home to Green River."   It goes is filled with pictures, natural sounds and what seems to be interviews of residents.  This multimedia story is an addition to the story that can help you understand the multimedia story.  It shows the struggle and gives outsiders the inside scoop on what is really going on and how some residents actually feel about it.

The second multimedia story I found is about a former fire lookout.  It tells the story of him reminiscing about his job while showing pictures of what he actually did. The pictures and interview helps explain the story, so listening is key.  This one is also an addition to an article.

Out of the two I've seen, I think they are good, have great pictures and audio, while also having substance and meaning behind them.

Event Infographic

Under one roof: Ronnie Jordan & KontraBand Muzik

Here is more information about the acts and the event.

Winthrop University’s DiGiorgio Student Union Programming Board hosted a cultural event last Friday with comedian Ronnie Jordan and KontraBand Muzik for listening pleasures.

After a long day of rain, ice and snow, the event was still to be held at 8 p.m. at The Edge stage in the DiGiorgio Campus Center.  Nothing was going to get in the way.

Upon arrival, the audience seemed to be slim, but after getting a closer look, the only thing slim was the amount of seating left.

                                   

Ronnie Jordan had the crowd with tears in their eyes as they laughed at his jokes and other comical actions.

“Due to the weather, I did not expect this many people to come out for the show,” explained DSU member Justine Zipp, who explained how funny Ronnie Jordan was.

Once Ronnie Jordan was done, KontraBand Muzik made their way to the stage.

The crowd was entertained as they performed several songs ranging from cover songs to their originals in a variety of genres.

KontraBand Muzik’s music even made Gumby do a little dance which had the crowd in shock, unaware that Gumby had any moves.

Passion Bankhead’s reaction to the night was, “I am so happy I decided to leave my room, despite the weather, because the Ronnie Jordan was awesome and KontraBand Muzik made me want to dance!”

As the show concluded, the audience had the opportunity to take pictures with the acts and purchase any merchandise they brought.
