Uniqua Smith: Week 5 Response:

•What themes or concerns in the presented reading are your responding to?
• What are the materials and processes you used to formulate your response? Why these? If several, which are you most concerned with?
• Why these materials and processes. What are their limitations? What do they allow?
• What choices did you make? (For example, the tone of a piece of writing, or the lighting decisions for a photograph.) What led your decision-making about them?
• What did you learn through this response? (You can address new knowledge or new questions you’ve gained regarding the class reading, the materials/processes you used, or both.)


  • I decided to respond to the prompt. I wanted to try and frame my collage more around Ariel Goldberg’s Straight Photography Gallery Tour. They took pictures of sort of random things in the street and talked about certain things in life.
  • The materials used were my phone's camera, random household items, and Windows Live Movie Maker. I decided to use household items because honestly I didn't know what I was doing until I started taking the pictures and because I'm going to be doing my video project outside, so I didn't want it to be repetitive. I was more concerned with using the movie maker because I hadn't used it on my computer before. It was harder to download onto the blog until I uploaded it to Youtube.
  • The limitations of using the household items was trying to get interesting photos since I am not that creative. The problem with using my phone was trying to get good quality photos. The movie maker was just hard trying to figure out how it worked.
  • I just took random photos and picked the photos that related more so to what I wanted to discuss in the collage. To kind of hide a little of the low quality of my phone, and to make the pictures a little more interesting, I decided to put filters over the photos.
  • I learned how to use the movie maker fofr the end of the semester project.
