More ideas for trailer...

I want to also include websites that work with tv stations, allowing them to show the shows on the internet. Sable commented saying something about hulu.com which i found really interesting. If i could find more sites that are like that i can incorporate how the sites do this. I want to add hit shows that people would know and also include shows from HBO and SHOWTIME that you would usually have ti pay extra a month on cable to watch.

Trailer Ideas

Originally, my idea for my project was music. I was going to discuss how music can be downloaded on the internet free of charge and how companies are loosing money. Because I feel music is such a common topic, I decided to switch to something similar...TV shows on the internet.

I want to get video clips from shows, pictures, and music and make the trailer an all around entertaining project. I want to touch on the ideas that over the last decade TV has changed drastically. You can download entire seasons of shows onto your computer, hook your computer up to a game system, and watch the show on your TV. You can illegally download or purchase shows, but there is always a way to find them free. You can watch them in segments on Youtube or you can just look for a certain scene. You can research the shows, the characters, the story line...you can do everything on the internet.

I want to tie together different shows in my trailer and find links and quotes from the internet I can incooperate into my final project.

Idea for project

I want to incorporate music into my project but I am not completely sure how to relate this to multimedia writing. Maybe discuss how music has changed over the years...how the internet expresses music and how it can tell you everything about the music from looking up the lyrics, listening to clips, watching the music videos, downloading ring tones, etc, etc. I need a little help in narrowing this down.....

Responses to online arcticles

I found it really interesting in "Rise of the Plagiosphere" that the internet has become so developed that it can trace back to anything that has ever been put on it. The fact that teachers now can trace plagerism is very neat to me and I am glad there is finally a way for it to be detected. Plagerism is something that occurs more than some may think, and the use of technology these days should have a way to detect this illegal behavior. Without the use of spiders, this action could not be made possible. Technology, especially the internet, continues to develop and the use of it becomes more important each and every day. In "The Ectasy of Influence" the writer mentions that themes are often reused throughout the years. The reoccuring themes and words used by different authors, directors, and artisits, today is considered plagerism. Even modern television shows esentially plagerize from older stories. Can this be stopped? With the modern internet use and other technological sources we use today, I believe plagerism can be and is starting to become, more seriously looked at. Although, as seen in these articles, plagerism occurs out in the open a lot more than we notice, I believe ideas will become more original, with the fact that plagerism is taken a lot more seriously with the further advancements of our technology.

Catherine Whiteford, my first post

hello world!

Most of my internet time is spent on Facebook (shocker!!). I like to keep in touch with high school friends, family, and it's a good way of hearing about good parties, shows, or other things to do during the week and weekend. I also use it to get in touch with people from my classes. I have a Myspace account but I haven't been on it since I made my Facebook my freshman year of college. I used to IM all of the time in middle school and high school but since Facebook, I feel instant messaging has fallen off the face of the planet. I always am text messaging; it's easy and quick. I also get on the internet to use to the "Stumbleupon" toolbar when I'm bored. I always come across cool sites that way and learn new things every time I'm on it. I don't do much writing on the web besides on my Facebook and that's not much. I'm usually on the internet about an hour out of the day all together. If it's a real slow day I could probably be on the internet for 5 hours...I don't have many computer "skills"; I don't even type right (I only use two fingers) BUT I am willing to learn more about the web and the computer and what it has to offer!!
