ASSIGNMENT 2

Comments to other people:
1)your video really reflected you so much. I loved the part where you guys all were singing together and how you call yourselves Charlie's Angles. It really kind of reflects how family is important to your way of life.
Insight: Kati's video showed me that music is what her life kind of revolves around. It what connects everthing in her life. For example, music is what connects her family together such as her sisters which i can tell is an important part of her life. I think without music or mainly singing in Kati's life id be hard for her to really connect with anything.

2)I like that you put most of your neighborhood stuff into your video. lol, glad you finally got your video up after like 2938473987 hrs.
Insight: In franchesca's video i kinda of had a thought that the setting in which she lived in (downtown soho/ chamber street) really means a lot to her. She included a lot of scenes of her walking in her neighboorhood with friends. It shows me that friends is also an important aspect of her life.

3)I love the beginning where its in your point of view and your waling down into the subway and into the school.
Insight: Samantha's video included many pictures and videos of just a basic day of her everday life such as on the way to skool, in school, hanging out with friends. It gave a really mellow feeling which is what she probably wanted to reflects about her life. Daily things such as friends and hobbies is what groups patterns in her life togeather.

4)I like the Daft Punk song you put. And i love the part about your family and how they love trying different cultures. :) I didn't know that about you.
Insight: I learned a lot about Chelsea by looking at her video. Family and friends are a aspect of her life that seems really important to her which is a pretty commen thing to most people's way of life. One thing i noticed was that the different pictures of different cultural food. This in a way made me think that she is a very open person to different cultures and is a personal who is willing to learn about different backgrounds as her friends from her video also had different cultural backgrounds than from her. Chelsea provoked an idea that she seemed like a very accepting person towards other people. :)

5)Lol, I love the kingdom hearts part where you and your sister keep on turning the tv on and off. Your did a good job with showing your way of life by showing all your hobbies and family members and stuff.
Insight: Esther had many pictures and videos that included her with her older sister. I can tell that they are really close and her sister means a lot to her and is definetly a big influence to her way of life. Her video was really versatile. She showed a lot of different hobbies such as singing, sports, videogames,concerts, playing a guitar, etc. It gave me an idea that certain activities and hobbies in her life is what keeps her going.

took me forever to figure out all this shit!
finally done. :)

AWOL

This video is basically about what to expect with a day or a week with me. It first starts out with a quick clip of me starting with "This is me..." where you see a couple of clips with me. In the next scene of "This is him.." which is also a small scene of my boyfriend and my interactions with him and what we usually do which is almost basically doing nothing but sit around on most days. In the next scene where it starts with "This is everyone..." shows the people around me such as friends, people in school, etc. and how we interact and what setting I usually see them in. And at the end of the video is "This is the random..." which basically shows random things that I interact with on a daily bases such as watching television, going online, going out with friends or my boyfriend. The video basically shows a portion of people I interact with on a daily bases of my life and some things that you can find me doing on most days either by myself of with other people. The parts that you can see that are relatively significant and good to my life are the people. The people around me, whether they may be friends or just people I just see during school are what relatively make up my life. Interacting with people is a big part of my life and the things I do while interacting with people is definitely a important part of my way of life too. I think there is nothing much in this video that shows anything bad about my life. Or at least I tried not to show anything that seemed bad about my way of life. There may have been neutral parts such as the clips of the scene in "This is random.." part of the film. 

There were some things that I wanted to include in the video that I was not able too. For example, I wanted to include some of my family members like my mother but was not able to. Certainly family members (very few of them) are an important part of my way of life. I also wanted to include more clips of what I do on a daily bases such as me in school or of me outside and doing certain hobbies or things I just do for fun.

The emotion I tried giving to this video is more of a cheery feeling, I wanted to give a feeling to show that certain things in my daily life is important and makes who I am today. I tried doing this with the song called "Plastic Stars" by Freezepop. The song talked about a "private galaxy", i thought this would represented my way of life through my "private galaxy" and you can try seeing this through the video. A pattern you may be able to notice is that I start with clips of me, then clips of other people, then clips of me again interacting with people or interacting with objects such as the television or the computer. You may be able to notice that in the video i focus a lot on interactions with people rather then interactions with what i do such as school or work. What seems as the good, the bad, or the neutral parts of my video can connect by me. Depending on my emotion of/ in the film effects on whether it makes the video have bad, good, or neutral parts. If a person would want their video to seem bad they would do so, but in this case I tried to shift my video more towards the side of "good". The only thing that makes a person's life bad or good is the person themselves.  

I think my way of life is what you definetily can call a typical American way of life. This is because every person's way of life in America include: friends, love, free time, interacting with people and things, and certain locations such as eating in certain restaurant, being in a elevator of a building, hanging out with friends, these things that can be found in any American person's way of life. Any person's way of life can be bad or good or okay. You may probably find a lot of these types of themes in a lot of other people's lives if they were to make a video of their way of life as well. Something I think is quite interesting in my way of life is how I interact with people in my video and the setting of many of the clips in my video. The settings can show where many teenagers spent their days in this era of America. It could change over time when people get older and is found doing different things in different locations. I know that within my lifetime as I get older a lot of the people in my video may not be in my life as time goes by which would be the history of my life. Some of those people I may still know, and their may be new people.  The mood I convey in my way of life can be change as time goes by or the locations that I am in. Many of these aspects can keep me wondering but I may or may not be able to know by just one video. I think a question i would ponder on is if their is anyways to predict of analyze how the future would be like by just looking at videos of our time? or what would people of the future infer by just looking at my video?
