Memory Lane

By Lili Sevilla, ENC3416

The embedded video is the introduction to a multimodal presentation: a narrated PPT file, with embedded videos utilizing Snapchat filters, virtual backgrounds, and animated bitmoji. It was created for the Technology Literacy Narrative project for ENC3416. Here is a link to the full project: Memory Lane, Lili Sevilla’s Technology Literacy Narrative

I was able to work with two types of media: the virtual snapchat filters along with the PowerPoint. It was very hard to compress and put it in the right size to be accessible for canvas and everyone. 

This narrative is very important to me because it got me into seeing my own memory lane. I kind of forgot all these technology platforms I used to use. Where I am now it can be hard to look back and appreciate what made you who you are today – VHS, accelerated reading program, Messenger Live. The pandemic and at home research is giving me the liberty to continue my pre-med studies at home and still be English major.

The way I incorporated New Media in this assignment was by creating a website. Though I used a platform that helps you achieve a finished product, I can say that I am the one that created it. I can say that I am very proud of the website that I produced. The only experience I have with blogging is on websites intended for that purpose, websites like Tumblr and Blogspot, so this was completely outside of my realm of pre-existing knowledge.

Technology Literacy Narrative Project

By Haley Moniz, ENC3416

This narrative was created for ENC3416, for the Technology Literacy Narrative Project.

I have never used an audio software before or done any audio recordings so this was entirely new to me. This was not executed in any way that I wanted it to because I was originally planning a video, but didn’t have enough time to get all of the footage and editing done that I needed (since I’ve never used any software for this before it’s taken me hours to do a simple edit). I switched to just audio to save time but still ended up having to redo this project 3 times because the audio software I was using wouldn’t save the file correctly and I lost all of my work. I was going to add a lot more to this than there is but unfortunately was unable to do so.
