Remix

Julie Thayer
Before reading "Remix" I didn't realize how common copyright issues occur. I believe sometimes these issues get blown out of proportion, such as in the Lenz's video. Copyright however often deals with bigger issues than just a youtube video. Artist constantly rips off other lyrics and tunes and claim them as their own. I believe this can sometimes be a gray area when they change the work slightly. Unfortunately, there's no clear law that states how much you must change something for it not to be a copyright issue. Mash-ups and remixes are especially where this gray lien occurs. Before this reading, I never realized how little "original work" there is.

    I agree that before reading this I was unaware of how strict copyright law is, but it can have grey areas, depending on whose work you are taking, and which way your are using it.

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. Also how very bland fonts do not appeal to many readers as they might think of it as boring and plain. This gives me a lot to think about as project three comes closer.

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.
