Remix

This reading made it clear the importance of crediting artists and original curators of content used in order to avoid copyright infringement. In class, we have mentioned the same example of the video of a child innocently caught dancing to Prince that his mother recorded and posted online where it eventually went viral. Due to Prince's strict copyright, the mother was sued and insane amount of money for including the song in her video that was not posted for monetization nor personal gain. When I post videos on YouTube, I make sure to credit the artists and demonetize it since I have perviously had my videos stripped of audio for not doing those exact things. The situation with the mother and the Prince song though highlight the fact that crediting and the effects of copyright infringement do not stop at a video blog, they can follow you onto your Facebook and Instagram. Since technology is expanding at an insanely fast rate, it may be difficult for individuals to know which rules and regulations carry onto which platforms. Overall, this reading made me even more aware of the dangers of copyright infringement in everyday life.

This text showed me how us as readers perceive a certain font or text and how it can influence our mood and how we feel about a certain reading. It also showed me how elaborate texts can draw us into something such as a poster or a title page of a book.

Subversion and Redemption. Rachel Klahm

1. Some subversion examples the author mentions are Max in  Where the Wild Things Are and Don Quixote. Other movies that are subversions are  A Haunted House and WALL-E. WALL-E is a subversion because it's a light hearted cartoon with a much deeper meaning. Humans have abused planet Earth with industrial corporations to the point where they must abandon it until robots have cleaned it up. The moral lesson is that technology and industry are bad and if we continue on the path we're on, the Earth will turn into the trash ridden world that is in WALL-E. Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...

Action Plan

Haley Ketchum My plan is to finish my three genres and finish my website. My website is nearly finished, but still needs a few touches to make it look good and work efficiently. I’m still unsure of how I am going to do my three genres. I forgot about how one of the three genres has to be non-digital, or a remediation, etc, so I need to replan my genres so they fit these requirements.
