In this week’s lecture, we focused on the remix & the glitch, and the relationship with the media culture. I imagine that few film historians will be anxious to bring the contemporary digital remix within their disciplinary purview.  And with good reason.  Remixes are difficult to take seriously. Indeed, remixes tear historical artefacts apart and sew them back together in motley, unfamiliar, and seemingly anti-historical ways. Remixes also lack historicity.  They are the ephemeral expressions of contemporary popular culture and the dialogical babble of multiple and contradictory historical indexes.

Social media – connecting with people, ask a layer of connection to the world do get a sense of a person through their engagement of their media. Remix theory – (the aesthetics of sampling) Eduardo Navas.

In this week’s workshop, we were continued to work with our project brief 4, me and my group member discussed our topic on technology about how we can develop our idea and associated it with social media. We also did a lot research about what kind of academic resources that we can use in our project brief and write them down in the annotated bibliography. I found the book called “The Facebook Effect” – by David Kirkpatrick. In this book, the author had a close interview with the people who associated to Facebook, including Facebook founder, employees, investors, intention to investors and partners, and added up to more than 130 people. The author, with its exquisite brushwork, exquisite narrative structure, describe how Facebook founding from a dorm room, the founder of the infighting, struggle for power, how to give up the Washington post’s investment, how to get to the first advertising clients, and the first round of financing and how to get a $one hundred million valuation, face competition with Twitter and Google’s battle over the centuries…This research is useful to my topic, because it explores how the founder founding the Facebook and make the social media so successful, it can not happen without technology of the computing system.

In this week’s lecture class, the topic was on the social and public media effects on the three levels: the level of institution, professional practice, and content. Social media platforms have gradually infiltrated all segments of everyday life—from making friends to debating politics—and have impacted the fabric of social institutions—from law enforcement to journalism. Television around the globe is gradually integrating social media logic in its already established mass media logic. The first level, explored in the next section, outlines how national organizations for public broadcasting have faced the rapid emergence of major social platforms with a mixture of bliss and reserve.The second section, public service broadcasters in response tried to balance off commercial pressure of social media by redefining public value, not only by setting new standards for professional practices but also by producing its own version of “public” social television content. The third section illustrates how various national public broadcasters started experimenting with “public social TV” experiments to attract a new generation of viewers and appeal to a different type of producer.

In today’s workshop class, we were consisting to work on our next project brief. Project brief 2 we were asked to produce to a similar video as project brief 1, but with a higher quality than project brief 1. We can use at least 3 still photographs, 2 separate video single shots, at least one piece of written text. For me, the most challenge part of this project brief is that I am staying in a different country is not where I grew up with. I have really limited resource that can introduce my life. So I came out this idea is that from my view to see Melbourne, this way helps me to connect myself to the environment that I am staying now. I went to the street that near to my house, and the streets that I across every day when I am going to school. I combined these pictures with my selfies, and created to a image of from my point of view, how does Melbourne look like to me.

Social media

What is social media? The best way to answer the question is to break it down.

Media is an instrument on communication, like a newspaper or a radio, so social media would be a social instrument of communication. Think of regular media as an one-way street where you can read a newspaper or listen to a repost on television, but you have very limited ability to give your thoughts on the matter. Social media, on the other hand, is a two-way street that gives you the ability to communicate too.But social news is not the same thing as social media any more than a banana is a type of fruit, but fruit can also be grapes, strawberries, or lemons. And while social news is social media, social networking and wikis are also social media. Now that we have answered the question of what is social media, we can move on to social media websites. But the one common link between these websites is that you are able to interact with the website and interest with the website and interact with other visitors.

We presented our 1 project brief in the class. We learned how to use different colours to give each other feedback.

Red: gut feeling (which kind feeling that you get when you first time seeing the video)

Green: the creativity of the project

Yellow: the positive side of the video

Black: the negative part of the video that you think there is a better way to improve it

After I watched my classmates’ videos, I realized there are many good ideas that I may can use in my next project brief. Such as you can work with your environment, basically just record the interesting view that you see everyday, and work with the pictures and the sounds that you recorded, use different photo editing software to edit it.
