COMM 333 MUSIC VIDEO: first music video

Track:  the song is already produced, holy moly 2.0 is the track.
Division: i divided it hook(chorus), verse, hook, verse, hook, verse hook


The song is  called Holy Moly, i picked that name because i wanted a corny catchy name. The song is about investing. It has a very sick beat or instrumental

My video concept is to have scens of me acting out situations from the songs. I also wanted to have girls dressed as angels holding up a platter of something that i need like my car key, or my wallet or a document that said i got approved. I want to have the scenes flipping back and forth from normal to sketched out images and animation of the scenes.

I also want to have a scene of just me & my home boys bopping their heads to the songs, and a scene of a girl(s) playing the trumpet and saxaphone because those are some of the sounds in the beat.

The scene for the hook(chorus) will be me and my home boys singing(lip singing) the hook. I want to have a scene in the store, and a scene in the courthouse. In the courthouse scene the judge will be dropping my charges. In the store scene i would have lost my wallet and the angel will bring it to me on platter.



Themes:
-One of the themes of the video is to show people in every and any situation bouncing and bopping their heads to the song because the beat is nice.
-Another theme is for me to be on a scavenger hunt and the angels come to me and have them bring me things that i need to get me from point A to point B and so on.
-The last them is for me to be in different situations of other people's lives and bring thing something help from God as if i was an angel. For example I would be bring somebody their spear car keys when they are locked out their car. For example I would bring to the courthouse for someone the piece of evidence that can keep them out of jail.


One last scene that i want is one of cars speeding by. This scene will be for the last verse because i have a line about jaguars and nascar.

This is my first music video so i will just experiment with one of those themes and see what happens

COMM 203: What is Hermeneutic

     Hermeneutic is a critical study of how knowledge of interpretation works. Hermeneutic also involves the philosophy of how interpretation works. Hermeneutic is more board and in depth then you can described in just one sentence. It is deeper than that. See hermeneutic is not just a word but it is also the name of someone. It is the name of the philosopher from around 500 b.c.e somewhere in Greece. His name is Herman, and his last name is Neutic. This guy Herman Neutic had something to do with langage and grammar. Hermeneutic is the science and philosophy of how you analyze, translate, and interprete text, signs and other media. When you use hermeneutic you will have to do some type of translation. You will be translating something into meaning. I guess we can say that we as humans use hermeneutic everyday because every second in every day we are translating things into meaning. When we read we are translating symbols like letters into word and then translating those words into sentences. We then translate those sentences into thoughts that has meaning. We also translate pictures and all sorts of things into images. We also interpret whatever we see, hear, witness, experience, et cetra into meanings that leads to a translation of another meaning. Like if you translate the weather being cloudy with a chance of rain it will mean that you need a rain coat, rain boots, umbrella or all three. Say if you interpret your stomach growling into you being hungry and then you interpret Digiorno discounted pizza on a commercial as way to save money and get good eats, and then you interpret the instructions as way to cook it, then you interpret your stomach being full and filled as an indication that it is time to put the left over Digiorno back in the refrigerator. When we use hermeneutic we are using critical theory in how we think and give meaning to things we encounter, experience and witness in the unconscious and subconscious. Hermeneutic is a daily aspect of the human routine in life. It is also a big part of communicating in society and in media. An example of hermeneutics being used in a social situation is in a case where the girl is trying to see if her boyfriend really cares and she starts to look sad like in hope that her boyfriend will interpret that as a time to hold and cuddle her and ask her what is wrong. In this same example the girlfriend and boyfriend are in an argument and the girl threatens to leave in hopes that the boyfriend would interpret that as a sign indicating that it is time to plead and fight for her not to break up with him.  


The five types of hermeneutics(we use) are:
Depth - ask more questions, employers like an inquisitive learner
Natural - knowing electricity can get hot you can prevent fires
Scientific - interpreting that the ground will be more slick after it rains
Philosophical - you only use a certain tone of color because it symbolizes something meaningful
Normative - Knowing what is legal and illegal

I'm Right Minded, A Right Brainer like ME is Conceptual

I only see me succeeding in the conceptual world if I be creative and understanding to new styles and new ideals. I will have to be open-minded to divers opinions, thinking and ways of life. Being embracing of new methods of accomplishing any given task at hand. I am likely to succeed financially if i stay creative, and improve my creativity skills. I should also be practicing my cognitive skills if i want to be competitive as a thinker.   

I computer can not do the creative things better than me. A computer can not even be creative. It has no chance in being a creator. I was created as a tool for the human creator. A computer can only assist a creative person. The creative person being the essential and independent factor. As long as i have skills and creativity that is in demand i will have job in the work force.

I would use design to get involve and engaged in the sense say for example if i were the director of a film i would also be the choreographer on projection. Thats and example of me being helpful to the team and getting involve.

I would use stories to be narrative in my structures and functions. I'll try to have some connectivity in my productivity.

I would use symphony to be more innovative. For example, im a producer for a music video and i needed a dummy rocket ship i would not buy it i would just build it.

I would use empathy to  add emotions to my products and services. For example i am a ceo for toy company and i decide to have the children emotionally attached to the toys, and we find out what are the most attractive child safe aromas for boys and girls their own group. I used intuition by thinking about the future by thinking about what if, what if we added amoras to toys to get that child like attractions.

I would add play into my mixture of success by always staying joyful, cheerful and easy to work with.

I would always keep meaning in my craft and talent to keep passion for power to over accomplish and out do the next guy or the competition. Or just to do what the boss wants but more.
 

"No child left behind" and "LEAP" Compare & Contrast

The similarities and comparisons out weight the contrast. The contrast the that the two organization have is the fact that one is instated by the government and the other is an organization all by its self but tries to get back up from the government. No child left behind is a government act that was instated. It was made to uphold some educational reforms. It was and still is an act to educated and better our youth. That is the same thing that the LEAP program proceeds to do. The LEAP organization doesn't just want to educate the youth and uplift our inner cities, but they also want through education and a strong guidance the child will grow up to be a better citizen also. One of the contrast between these two ideals if you will call it that, is the fact that LEAP is nonprofitable where as the No Child Left Behind Act cost us some money. No Child Left Behind Act aims at the student in the classroom and focuses on the intelligence progression of that individual student. However, LEAP is doing something different, they are trying to give each child a chance to be a student. No Child Left Behind & LEAP are doing two different things but they both make it possible for one another to do their job. LEAP basically gets the child in the classroom to be taught as a student, and then the No Child Left Behind act goes in to have the teachers make sure every student learn the material personally. These two organizations together have become an educational circle.

Video & the Radio Star, COMM333 Music Video

Did video kill the radio star?

No, it just added competition for the radio star.

It also added another plateau for the radio star to shine one.

Now the radio star can add another playing field to perform on.

Media Studies Comm 403 W1/18/12

It is a repertoire of competences that enable people to analyze, evaluate, and create messages in a wide variety of media modes, genres, and forms for profitable or non-profitable causes.(Some info is from Wikipedia in protest to SOPA & PIPA 1/18/12) 


TO me i feel that media literacy is all art mediums in a competition or profession to create messages for whatever causes through whatever genres.  


It is basically the literacy that was created specifically for the media world. 

November 16th Blog Assignment due November 18th.

David Ogilvy and Rosser Reeves & Hillman Curtis designers and advertisers. 

1. They both share the idea to please their client as much as possible. The both use the skill of attracting the viewer or the customer more in depth or to a deeper level or a wider perspective. 

2. The distinct differences is that the advertisers do not care about the mass consumers like the designers care about the viewers. The designers actually put some soul, emotions or personal views into the work. Like for example it was said that mean goal of the advertisers were to sell the client's product or service, and if your mean goal is to sell than your best interest is not in the buyer/customer. The designers actually look for what the viewers might want to see or experience whereas the advertisers do not care about what the customers want and they try to dictate what the customers should want.
