Web 2.0 implications?

I'm sure all of you know where this image is from... How did we come to accept this image as indicative of something like Myspace? Did you accept this image? Assign it a value?

Do you ever think about the images associated with brands, services, or people? Do you know the origins of the brands you readily recognize?

The Design of Symbols

Published: October 21, 2011
The symbols found in airports, hospitals and government buildings are ubiquitous, but few people know where they had their origins.

Different sentence.

Texting has become a habit when people drive.

Sentence deconstruction and reconstruction!

Great work in class today! I think we were truly looking at the multiple meanings of our writing. Please post your rewritten sentences here as blog comments and not as blog posts. Great work today! Think about what your classmates are trying to say in each of these sentences. How can you restate these sentences in a manner that is more concise? Do you think it's important to rethink your classmates' tone? Why? Why not?

Here is the list of sentences we read in class.

1. Under situations like these, the author does not realize that his or her information is wrong…instead, he or she believes that whatever he or she is writing is factual and true, for whatever the reason.

2.The major consequences are not only does it take away from traditional dating but we never really know who we are talking to online.

3. Age, gender, sexual orientation, birth place, languages spoken, phone numbers, even area which they are living at.

4.There are definitely much more important things we can be doing besides being noisy and looking at peoples’ pages.

5. However times have changed, technology has advanced and the youth of this generation found a new way to bully by using social networks, cellphones or any other electronic device to harm those they do not like in this generation basic bullying has morphed into cyberbullying but who is at blame and what can we do to stop it.

6. With the incredible use of technology our world today have shape into a more of a message saturated world meaning a world being dominated by technology which is changing the way we communicate by sending, receiving and interpreting messages we encounter every day in our lives.

7. Although visual literacy is a good skill to comprehend, focusing on only the visual will have its backfire.

8. Since many children don't tell anyone about the bullying they experience, it is easy to see some of the negative impact that social media has had on our youth especially.

heeeeeeyyyyyy :p

Sharing is caring!

Dance-Music Remix

Remix:

     

Original videos that went into the remix:


What the creator pretty much did in this remix was take UGC and completely different songs and merged it into some sort of dance battle. The music was so well synchronized to the dancers' movements in the remix, that I didn't expect there to be originals until the second time around that I watched it.  In the remix not only was the message and content contorted, but the audio served to create something original rather than just copying the original videos into one video. The intention of the remix-er was to compare "tecktonik" and "shuffle" dance styles and probably spark an argument. It's a purpose unlike the original creators', who probably made the video to display their moves to the world. The remix-er alone (or not so alone) created something that had a significant higher number of views than the original videos had, meaning it was far more successful than the originals.

Can we take our old work and put it in our paper?

Cyber Bullying - supermac18

                                                                                                                                                                            This video is by Mac Guttenberg, titled "Cyber Bullying". It shows that the internet has its ups and downs. Ups being able to communicate with others easily, and downs by being able to tease an individual before thousands of people. Through the web, there isn't a great sense of tone and others may interpret a response the wrong way. One wrong idea may slowly devour the mind of the victim, and in this case lead to death. There are many commercials about cyber bullying on television which sends out the same message but the way Mac illustrated it was more compelling. Like, I was a consistent viewer of his channel and I watched him develop more every video. So, to see that he brought up such a subject seemed legit and it showed that he cared. I think Mac's version of cyber bullying should be up there with the rest of the commercials because he has the music that adds the dramatic sense of the video, he is using the latest technology most people would have, and it truly brings out the point of the video.

Do you love your iPhone?

"As we embrace new technology that does everything but kiss us on the mouth, we risk cutting ourselves off from human interaction. For many, the iPhone has become a best friend, partner, lifeline, companion and, yes, even a Valentine. The man or woman we love most may be seated across from us in a romantic Paris bistro, but his or her 8GB, 16GB or 32GB rival lies in wait inside our pockets and purses."

You Love Your iPhone. Literally.

What's everyone been up to?

Surface level and hidden meanings in UGC: Do you know how to look at content critically?

The following images are examples of different forms of user-generated content. One is a piece of artwork, the other is a photograph of a banner, and the last image is a digital image that was created utilizing online sources.

When you look at this image, what do you see? Think about the differences between literal meaning and hidden meaning. What do you understand about this image? Do you recognize the charaters in the image? Do you recognize the setting represented in the image? How does this image represent what is produced, consumed and accepted (or rejected) by your culture?

What do you see in this image? How is this an example of user-generated content? How is it vastly different from the user-generated content produced on Youtube or on Facebook? Are there any literal and hidden meanings? If so, what are they? What sort of background information does one need to possess in order to read and understand the image (and message) of this banner?

This is an image that appeared this weekend on my Facebook feed. Many of my friends were sharing it. A classic form of user-generated content, its producer is unknown yet this image/message/content has spread throughout the internet. What are the literal meanings in this image? What sort of statement is this message trying to convey? What are the specific steps that the producer is making to convey the message in this image?

LIVIN WIT A THUG

Classmates, you should view this video, because it's  entertaining. Also, you can see from Deshawn's perspective, how it is living with a thug.

So........what's going on with the interviews?

Scare Tube?

Left to Right: Beetlejuice, Michael Myers, Samara (The Ring), Hell-Raiser, Leather-Face(Texas Chainsaw Massacre), Jason Voorhees, Scream, and Freddy Krueger




So Halloween is on its way and most of us love to dress up and imitate these legendary killers (above). So instead of calling it You Tube, why not call it Scare Tube, for this Halloween?

I need a bit more clarity on what we're suppose to do

I get the annotated bibliography I believe and I've chosen Social Media to cover
but are we suppose to chose something specific? like a sub category for what we're covering?
Like Social Media and how it affects teenagers or How Social Media has effected a generation? Something like that?

Social networking and you!

This School Friendship Network plot is from a website called www.visualcomplexity.com. Created by James Moody in 2001, it represents  how students of different races associate themselves within certain networks. Here is a description from the website about this project.

Friendship network of children in a US school. Friendships are determined by asking  the participants, and hence are directed, since A may say that B is their friend but not  vice versa. Vertices are color coded according to race, as marked, and the split from left to right in the figure is clearly primarily along lines of race. The split from top to bottom is between middle school and high school, i.e., between younger and older children.

The colors of the dots in this image represent the following races.
Yellow - White Race
Green - Black Race
Pink - Other  

How would you rationalize the splits that occur between ages and races in this plot? How is this plot similar or dissimilar to your online networks? How else could you group together the members of your social network?

Have any of you ever used Topix?

I just read this article in the New York Times about social media. Looks like social media has infiltratated our rural towns! I'd love to know any connections you see between this article and how you use social media in New York City.

 

In Small Towns, Gossip Moves to the Web, and Turns Vicious

By A. G. SULZBERGER

Published: September 19, 2011

As more people share gossip over the Internet rather than over coffee and eggs, anonymous, and startlingly negative, posts have provoked fights, divorce and worse.

I LOVE MY ENGLISH 101 CLASS !!!!

Dear Classmates and my English teacher,

    Before I go to sleep, I just want to get this off my chest. This is my honest opinion about you guys. So far , I see us as a team  trying to solve a problem. In order to solve a problem in the action world,we must solve the problems at school first. I LOVE YOU GUYS, I really do. Everytime I come to english class, I feel so calm, stress free, and happy.  Even though we don't know each other that well, I sense a positive, great vibe from you guys.What makes me even more happy, is seeing all of us reaching for the same goal....Success. Once again I love you guys and Mr. Navarro you are my best teacher so far in college. Thank You for your wonderful, laid back personality. Well, goodnight. Have a nice and safe weekend everyone.

Since DBZ was brought up i'd thought i'd share

My Classmates, remember Dragon Ball Z ? Well, they sing along quite well to reggae music.

LOL.......I LOVE IT!!!!

What about Robots being created in the future?

So while I was sitting in the train, I saw an ad about metro cards. It stated,"Have your metro card refill automatically each month, linked to your credit or debit card". My whole point of bringing this up,is that I feel that soon our economy will be more of a dependent economy than how it is today. We the people, will be dependent more on technology, in which we will no longer self-serve as much. But wait, if technology is so smart (personification), why can't we have robots?Better yet, I-Robots? That would be so cool, right classmates? But who will run the world.........?

My Remix Video

11v

Original Video:

Remix Video:

The remix video I chose was a remake of the Insepction movie trailer.  I chose this video because when I first saw this I thought what they did to the movie trailer was pretty cool.  The video was redone with a voice over.  All the voices and sounds as well were done by one man.  This video was not only pretty cool, but also funny because of the way the man made the sounds from his voice. I think all the sound effects worked well with the video and while switching from video to video I got confused to which one was the original.  All the voice over work was on point with how the actors mouth moved. What I found pretty interesting is that the remix vidoe screen was flipped/mirrored from the original. 

hw -remix

original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzHyJK7miZ4
remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPNNKRJ-qr4

the remix i found was an outrageous video from the news. the bizarre woman that fought with the McDonald's employers shows how crazy people in this world are. i was trying to understand why would a young woman would do this and the remix proves that she has no excuse she is just plain psycho. sometimes i get annoyed when i want a chicken wrap at their breakfast hours in my breaks at college but i don't fight anyone. the video shows that we have to be patient and normal and that it wasn't the workers fault, its their job. i come across many remixes daily and we need to watch them and see how other people criticize others people's behavior and work.

Blame it REMIX video! =]

Remix                                                                                                                                                             

Original                                                                                                                                                           

This remix is a way of connecting with humans because the person doing this remix is using a form of comedy through the internet to get his view of the president across. In other words, he takes what the president has said and interprets it in a parody in order to get his point of view across in a very entertaining way. Personally, I come in contact with remixes on a daily basis because I am constantly looking up videos and funny parodies come up therefore, I check them out and find some of them absolutely hilarious. Alphacat is one of my favorite actors because he uses real facts about the president and his speeches and puts it into the songs that are popular at the moment.

"BED INTRUDER" ORIGINAL AND REMIX

Original:

 BED INTRUDER SONG!!! (now on iTunes)

Remix:

Annoying Orange - Kitchen Intruder (Extended Version)

Well, obviously we have here an Annoying Orange - "Kitchen Intruder" metaphorically  compared to the original "Bed Intruder" by Antoine Dodson. In the "Kitchen Intruder" song, the Orange is Antoine Dodson and the Nectarine is his sister who got attacked by the Knife, which symbolizes the intruder. The fruits being portrayed as certain characters from a real life situation is entertaining. It is hilarious and creative how You Tube users give things we eat human qualities, also known as personification. I love the "Kitchen Intruder" version as well as the original "Bed Intruder" version. Both versions send out a message that humans, as well as objects ,can have dangerous traits.They must be controlled and stopped. Stop the intruder, but also control the knife."SO YOU CAN RUN AND TELL THAT , RUN AND TELL THAT , RUN AND TELL THAT, ATTACKERS, ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACKERS."(My little lyrical Remix) :)

Music Videos

Remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n38WsJz7sgY

Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4H_Zoh7G5A&ob=av3e

I chose this because all of the other good videos were taken! No but really I thought it was very creative on how these people make other words rhyme to the song. The elements that were used in this video that made it most effective was the setting it took place. The original and the remix both take place at dance clubs so you see the similarities in the video. The remix differs from the original in that the remix's audio is much different. They basically take all of the words from the original song and make them into funnier and more childish lyrics.

Kanye- Obama Remix

original-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsO6ZnUZI0g&ob=av2e

remix-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnme2WLB9YM

I chose a remix of Kanye West's Stronger, in which some one put in sound-bytes of President Obama. I chose this remix because I think it is very funny, and I think it is cool how someone was able to find sound-bytes to remake the song to the beat. The way that I often see remixes is in the music industry. Many remixes include the original artist with other artist added to the same song.

woman falls

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=le-BoDs-Yt8 - Original video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M0p6i6-a9Wk - Remix video

I chose this video because everyone can relate to having a moment like this. everyone has had that moment in their life where they’ve embarrassed themselves. The only difference here is many people have seen her embarrassing moment

original

remix

Remix videos are mostly used for humor and to make fun of whatever the original is. In this video , they are making fun of the "sham wow" commercial and calling it the "jesus christ sponge". The original is just trying to sell a product that is pretty dumb. By making a parody about it , it basically shows the stupidity of the product. The commercial became known because it played on tv way too often and people started making videos making fun of it. I chose this video because I found it funny and I felt the impression it was trying to give off was pretty clear.

How to Love

original -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8Gf4-eT3w0&ob=av2e

remix - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR2fUC3Cowo

  I chose this remix because its just amazing how people could take an idea and make it into something funny. This video was taken from one of Lil Wayne's love video and turned into a video about loving Pizza Hut. The video was well put together and actually promotes Pizza Hut's food. I think that  this video works in a way of promotion more than being funny or anything else. It also has nothing to do with the original song even though it has the same beats. 

I Phone parody



I chose an I Phone parody as my video.  I chose this parody because I was looking for a video that targets advertising and I wanted to see what type of videos people could create. This videos purpose was for them to sarcastically be over enthused about getting the new I phone and then at the end you find out that this I phone is literally a phone that’s an eye. I found this video a little much but I think this connects us as humans because we can come up with creative ideas of our own make a quick video and share it with millions on the internet. This makes us closer than ever, that I can view the creativity of someone I have never met and laugh with them. I come into contact with remix’s a lot of the time through music.

REMIXXX =]

Remix- 

This is based on the movie with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet- So that would be the "original."

A remix in music is usually something new added to the original song, it can be examples such as a new underlying beat, a faster tempo or a added new verse by a different artist. In this case, the "remix" or twist of the video is that it takes a very tragic situation, makes it humorous and ironically, accurate, even though the humor is really stupidity at it's finest. This remix can be a way of connecting with humans in that it is somewhat enticing to us. Not only is it entertaining and funny, it uncovers a new view of the situation, not necessarily a good view, but a different view none the less. In a sense, it kind of provides an escape or a relief from the actual drama and sadness of it all. These may be the reasons why this remix provides a connection with people and why they would watch it. I don't often come in contact with remixes in my daily life.

hw. remix

original- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIfSaDNVjXI

remix - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pg9x-5oS9Z0

I chose this video because i believe its stupidly-funny. This video is a remix to a song made by an artist named "chip the ripper". This video is an example on how people can do something so simple and make it into something that's the "talk of the town". This video has nothing. its repetitive and its pointless; that's what makes this video so great.

Fight Club Parody

Original


Parody


I usually don't watch any remixes, so for me it was hard to find something that would be decent and appropriate at the same time. I chose a parody called "Cuddle Club" on a movie "Fight Club". I picked this parody because "Fight Club" is one of my favorite movies and "Cuddle Club" is a complete opposite of the original movie, but yet it follows the same story line. The one thing that makes this parody successful is that the characters in the parody, pretty much used the same lines as in the movie. Even tho the parody did not get viral, it still shows us that internet allows people to be creative and do what the love to do.

Remix Hw#5

Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQSNhk5ICTI

Remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByIAseO8RFA

 I picked this remix out because I thought that this showed a perfect example of how people overreact to things that supposedly have special meaning to them . The original  video "Yosemitebear Mountain Giant Double Rainbow 1-8-10",  got 30,322,073 views just on this special occurrence that he managed to catch on video.The remix that I choose "Adventure Time:Rainicorn" was able to bring people together through comedy.This cartoon show saw a way to make a mockery out of how over exaggerated his reaction was,and ran with it as a way of being humorous by reenacting it with cartoon characters. I come into contact with remixes almost everyday day, either through songs that I listen to or shows that I watch on TV.

Remix

When I think of remixes I think about music and how they add a new artist to sing or rap to a song. Most of the time the remix does make the music better because it is the same song but has different twist or feeling to it, the remix is suppose to enhance the song and make it better than the original. In youtube when they make a remix to some thing it is usually changing what the message is or changing the visual aspect of the video to seem more funnier or more interesting than the original. The remix usually has the same visual but the sounds are different or what is being said has changed or it can be another way around like in the video that changes the image of President Obama.

The Real Street Fighter

This video is another video of a real situation remixed with street fighter sounds. This remix has brought the community of Youtube together. It has brought them together by changing a serious situation and changing it into something everyone can laugh about. Many comments consists of the game characters and the baby getting "P0wned". I personally come into remixes all the time. When me and my friends are together, we remix songs with our own lyrics and put them on Facebook. Every time I am on Youtube I run into parodies which are remixes in themselves.

remix:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_iYBmAVuBns

Sarcastic gamer said, "Wii fit looks great with anything from Ikea."  I was going to do my homework on a  song but I searched parody's on youtube and this came up.  I thought it was hilarious because everything he's saying is so true.  People expected this to be some cool new way to get in shape but like he said your either moving side to side or pretending to hula hoop.  People spend over 300 dollars on a "step up on the white thing."

Trailer Parody

Remix

Original

I chose this video to share because although not necessarily funny to some, I loved how they made their own costumes and used what they had around them and the places they had access to to make this video. And although with only 370,000 views, I think this is effective because it shows that if you put your mind to it and a little creativity with friends you can make something that people might consider watching. From quickly skimming through the comments most people seemed to have enjoyed it and have each found a part they loved. 

Obama on Death of Osama bin Laden

I chose this remix because I think it is important to people to know that Osama Bin Lade is dead! thanks to Barack Obama. Also is good to know that at least Obama did something about terrorism and the ex-President Bush didn't do nothing at all; that's let people to talk about. This video is fantastic because President Obama is celebrating the death of the biggest/dangerous terrorist Osama Bin Laden. The United State is safe and people can sleep well without worrying about Bin Laden. www.youtube.com/watch?v=1fw8poc3-5s

Teenage Dream - Katy Perry

Original:                                                                                                                                                           Remix:                                                                                                                                                                          I have to give props to Brittani Louise Taylor for being able to turn such a spunky fun party song into a song so morose. Both versions are simply beautiful, but the fact that a girl who looks like she could be living in my neighborhood, looks like she could be my friend, and looks like the rest of us non-celebrities makes her parody really stick out to me. Brittani Louise Taylor is a regular person just like us, she doesn't have a recording studio and high tech equipment to make her song sound good, but she made it apparent through a great message and theme. This remix works because it basically has the same catchy melody as the original but with a deeper significance, significance towards the death of somebody close. Everybody goes through this at some point in their life so it's definitely relatable.                                                                                                                                                          Piano Renditions of the Original:                                                                                                                                                                          Just thought I'd share with those who might like the piano. I find this piece more relaxing from the original, still fun. It's really cool how a song can be interpreted in so many ways.                                                                                                                                                          And for the Ladies in Class ;)                                                                                                                                                                          haha, You know you love it.

You're Beautiful- James Blunt

Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oofSnsGkops

Remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeAWESP7THs&feature=related

Weird Al Yankovic is the MASTER of remix to famous songs. I chose James Blunts' music video "You're Beautiful". It's a beautiful song stating that every individual is valued no matter what you do or how you look. However, Weird Al makes a parody of the video. He goes the complete opposite saying "You're Pitful". He states how ugly, poor and smelly you are. I found it hilarious. I also found it creative how he can take someone's lyrics and switch them around. I think the lyrics work in the video but I would of like to seen him do the video himself instead of a cartoon. I love the fact that Weird Al makes money off of making fun of people's song. I think it's pure genius!

FRIDAY!

Probably one of the most viewed video on Youtube, Rebecca Black's "Friday" music video.  The original was deleted because many of the mean comments that people were making.  It had 167 million views and 3.1 million dislikes, the most among any youtube video.  She became an internet sensation over night.  The only other person to do this and be this bad, Soulja Boy.  Almost every day I come in contact with remixes:  in the subway when performers play their versions of songs and when I listen to the radio in my car.

Retarded Test Video

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yc86ZXFsriM

This video has a total of about three million views.  This is based on college humor and is intended for people with a sense of humor.  One thing that makes this video effective is the quality, the picture is not bad at all.  Although this video didn’t use many resources or heavy equipment, it looked professional, making user generated content just as effective and even more effective than professionally produced videos. This pointless video is an example of how effective UGC can be, you don’t have to be a top TV channel or sales company to have millions of view for something. If this video was produces by traditional media it’ll probably have a higher quality because there would be more money put into making the video and the views would be about the same, not much of a difference.  Also the video may be boring and they’d decide to cut a few things out because they’d be scared of a bad reputation.

         This honestly has to be one of my favorite videos iv'e ever seen in my entire life. It's a parody so it obviously wasn't really shot like how a real rap battle would go down. They main character "SupaHotFire" says the most random dumbest things and somehow his boys get hype to it. It gained almost 2 million views. It's amazing how a bunch of teens could just brainstorm a general comedy and somehow shift it into a random rap battle. Its extremely effective and the reason the video became so successful is because it instantly catches the attention of the audience and keeps them hooked throughout the entire video. My favorite party was definitely the end when he just spits random noises out that make no sense what so ever and his crew goes completely insane. If it was to be portrayed on a TV channel I think some aspects that might have been changed might have been like where the rap battle actually took place or maybe some funny looking characters.

As my user generated video I chose Bon Qui Qui at King Burger.  Having 49,409,792 views this video is effective.  Having started off with this video and having made multiple videos after that also have a lot of hits also makes it an effective video.  Her selection of videos were made to make people laugh.  While looking at some of the comments, some people thought the video wasn’t funny at all.  If it was made into a TV channel I think it would be similar to Good Burger or the 90s shows with Keenan and Kel.  There would still be a lot of views but not as much as there would be when its on youtube.
