Video Remix Modern Models V. 1970's Models continued....

I wanted to show the difference between high fashion models from the current age and from the 70's although throughout this project it was a lot harder to find vintage footage from 70's fashion shows so i found as many pictures as possible and I included footage from a Chanel fashion show as well as 2 other shows. I found out that throughout this whole process yeah many things have changed like the size of models back in the 70's size didn't matter as much as it does today every model today has to be stick thin as well certain look that the girls should have has changed also. But the interesting thing history always repeats itself and here in the current age they are trying to do the same look from the 70's models. So watch and ENJOY.

"Is Digital Media bad for us?"

Digital Media is one of those topics that is always going to have a negative and positive opinion because people that are using in the right way and benefiting from it would "yes digital media is good" but others who haven't taken the time to explore and just have a close minded opinion is going to you other wise like common statements are it's ruining our nation as well as our youth. Socially/Political concerns are are a main target for the media because there are so many unanswered questions to the public so of course their are people who are going to try and answer these questions and the only to reach each person individually is through videos, blogs etc. personally this does not offend me or do I think that this is wrong it's going to happen regardless. But this is arguable because this type of personal information can get into the hands of the wrong people = no bueno. As we all know we are living in the era of digital nation this is not only in the U.S its all over the world. Many are turning to the internet for personal relationships and dating sites. This has been an argument for as long as I can remember but I feel as if the internet and cell phones should not be used for relationships because it takes away the "romance". People should not be okay with breaking up with their significant other over Facebook or text message or even divorce for that matter. Technology has negatively affected the way our nation chooses to mingle. The internet causes addiction just as any drug would but many would argue that it's not the same and the affects aren't the same but I would say psychological emotions and worries are natural from any form of addiction. Digital Media should not be viewed as negative people should realize it's purpose and use it correctly because it's so involved in this nation that it is never going to leave... well at least not any time soon.

Moriah Lee "About Me"(Self Portrait)...

My name is Moriah Lee I am 18 years old I'm from Fayetteville, N.C. This is my 2nd year at NCSA. and... I play cello. which I enjoy doing. I love living here in Winston it's a complete change of pace rather than living in Fay which is complete military, jarheads walking around. sometimes it's nice not to see that and at times I catch myself missing it (bittersweet I guess you could say) =] ANCESTORS... hmmmmm about that as far as I am concerned I have majority of them from Ireland and Puerto Rico. My dad is in the Military which explains why my family is settled in Fay right now, we used to live in Germany for a few years. Digital Media plays a big role in my life everyday as an artist I am constantly using technology to help better my studies with music. just in general everything around me is fast pace technology on the rise. As a child its been a tradition in my family to plant a garden full of anything and everything that everyone wants so I actually love growing food I enjoy it. As far as I can remember art has been apart of my life my parents sent me to like an art's middle school I guess you could say I you had to choose 3 different arts of interest and go from there. I choose music I or. Viola and then switched to cello as well as visual arts (drawing class) and pottery and from there that's where my passion developed for all the arts. Being apart of the youth in America currently I see that throughout the school systems there is not enough exposure given to kids so they can decide art for themselves. which explains why majority are acting out the way they are now etc. I feel as if everyone should be given an equal opportunity to explore arts and decide from there. If you were to walk down the street and ask a teen if they liked classical music they would either frown and be like no or simply be like no what is that... lol this is funny to me because I grew up in a family where I was exposed to everything with an open mind.

Homework Week 4

I feel as if that there is never going to be one direct definition of Creativity of course there is the general perception of what it means but I feel like the definition of this word can be what ever anyone wants it to be. The definition that I seem to get from everywhere is just the "state of being creative" but that does not describe anything because nothing is being defined. but that doesn't matter you can make up any definition that you want and it will be right. Honestly don't really have too much to say about Influence and Ownership because it's pretty straight forward in terms of definition. All of these words are key to the audio clip about DMA.

In Studio Week Four/ CMap

The area that I'm most interested in is the music part. I would like to meet with a young Montagnard musician and listen to traditional music as well as me playing traditional classical music on cello and then maybe eventually playing together and throughout this whole process comparing and contrasting western music with Vietnamese music. I think the thing that made me the most interested in picking a musician is the video link of the Montagnard's playing traditional instruments. I think the tools that will help this become successful is doing more research on one person in particular in the community and figure out a way where we could meet up and possibly just listen to one another play our instruments and then from there jam some and explore music through each of our instruments

Homework week 2

Framing... well I'm not sure in what way I really interpreted framing in terms of the videos. I feel as if we live in a nation that is foreign to digital media studies and technology. We live in a technological age where everything you see or do involves technology. I agree that framing is some type of intellectual thinking skill and not only thinking but talking as well. I feel as if for one to expand and learn more about their own idea they need to hear voices from others.
