The Conceptual Unit emphasizes the creativity shown in abstract ways to express my thoughts and emotion through poetry, music, art, experimental film, and web production. The question we attempted to answer was “How can I use unconventional forms express myself?”<\/em><\/strong> I was challenged to take risks in my work to find a specific personal aesthetic. We learned technical communication skills using various modern equipment such as as DSLR Cameras, Tascam Audio Recorders, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Animate, Adobe Premiere Pro, Adobe After Effects, Adobe Audition, Avid Pro Tools, WordPress, and Google Apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As a Freestyle student, I value the creative freedom we have over our projects and how we are able to connect the materials learned in English to Digital Media to make one meaningful project. I enjoy expanding my English projects further in a visual and auditory sense where we are able to see and hear, rather than through a reading in your head. When we hear the tone of the author’s voice when they illustrate a characters’s experience through an image, I believe it creates more meaning and depth where the audience can fully experience the poems or haikus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In English, we wrote a 3 line, 5-7-5-syllable form of poetry called haiku about the experience and emotion that our concept statement had stated. We then added a photo that corresponded with our haiku to illustrate the mood. In Digital Media, we combined the photo and haiku together to create a photo haiku video, along with the recording of the haiku read in our voice, and background music to set the tone. <\/p>\n\n\n\nPhoto Haiku<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
