Internet videos: blog learner response task

Internet video


 Feedback (Mr Halsey)
WWW: Excellent pace, some great found images and clips. Voice over delivery is very good and music is well selected. 
EBI: Lack of original video, a little disappointing. Production values let this down: crackle on voiceover, editing felt a little rushed/ ''clipped'' in places.

Feedback (from class)
WWW:
  • Original, intuitive, and some elements of humour.
  • Good use of tech; very understanding of internet sharing, hacking etc
  • Fun to watch, informative, and simple
  • Interaction (question at the end)
  • creative use of memes
EBI:
  • Include original images/ video 
  • Improve production quality
  • A little rushed at times/ a few sound issues
  • The resolution
Self Assessment
WWW: I think I included relevant information- both positive and negative impacts of the internet. I used a variety of clips and photos- use of memes links to the topic and appeals to young demographic. It was short and simple (1 minute long).
EBI: I think I could have improved the editing, and voice over- it did infact seem a little rushed. I also could have included my own images/videos and interpreted the brief in a more creative way. 

 Although this video was quite mediocre in terms of production quality, I still wish to produce a video for my ''linked production'' rather than print. I think I could find creative ways to explore my topic and also improve my production/editing skills if I keep practising.

 FIVE positive aspects to the internet (benefits) that you've learned from these screenings and the lessons so far.
  1. Good for businesses- there are now several ways of promoting products online and making money faster. 
  2.  It allows us to communicate with our friends and family more efficiently through apps and websites such as Whatsapp, Facebook and Twitter
  3. It is accessible on many devices such as your phone, laptop or tablet- so you can use it wherever you are
  4. Catch up with the latest news on online newspapers, and post your own content on online forums/chatrooms/comment sections/ and blogs. 
  5. Stream music/tv shows/ and movies online on apps such as Spotify, Itunes, Netflix, Amazon Prime etc
FIVE negative aspects to the internet (problems) that you've learned from these screenings and the lessons so far.

  1. Pornography is more available, limited censorship- ''deep web'' takes up 95% of the Internet 
  2. Cyberbullying 
  3. Issues with privacy- content/private information that you post online could possibly be hacked or accessed by someone on the internet
  4. Accuracy of information- anything can be edited/ posted online- may be inaccurate
  5. Using the internet excessively may affect your social life- may lead to the development of poor communication skills, lack of confidence.

Facebook and Google promote politicized fake news about Las Vegas shooter https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/oct/02/las-vegas-shooting-facebook-google-fake-news-shooter Key Data/ Statistical Info  Facebook and Google promoted false news stories claiming that the shooter who  killed more than 50 people  in Las Vegas was a Democrat who opposed Donald Trump. The flow of misinformation on Monday illustrated a particularly grim trend that has increasingly dominated viral online propaganda during US mass shootings – hyper-partisan trolls battling to blame the tragedy on opposing political ideologies. Brooke Binkowski, managing editor of fact-checking website Snopes.com, said in an interview. “A lot of this is pushed by trolls deliberately to muddy the conversation.”  False content can quickly move from social media to legitimate news sources, she added: “People are putting out crap information on purpose … It’s really easy to get shit into the new...
