Slogan Video

Ben Habegger--I'm Still Here

Video critiques

Jake Mehring
Slogan: Jake Bakes Cake!
He incorporated the slogan in a humerous way, and it worked well.
He used good skills in his video, it was entertaining. He had animations of moving text, and X's.
It said 29 seconds, but it was closer to 30.

Angela Johnson
Slogan: Silence the Violence, Increase the Peace
She incorporated her slogan with matching pictures, and fitting music. It was an ok video, but kind of simple--still pictures, music abruptly starting and stopping. It said 29 seconds, but it was closer to 30.

Will Biernat
Slogan: Simply Will
I couldn't really connect his slogan to the video theme;it didn't match all that well. It was well-made, though. He used moving pictures, fitting music, and varied text titles. It said 29 seconds, but it was really 30.

Jordan Pinneke
Slogan: It's a Speech Thing!
She incorporated the slogan in very well, almost excessively. The editing skills were good enough, but lacked some key things--moving pictures, fading text and audio. Good choice of music, though! The video was still entertaining. The video was 30 seconds long.

Tiger Woods: apology reaction

I'm personally not a fan of Tiger Woods. As for this apology, I'm not completely sold. He may be telling the truth, and he may not be. Is he really being honest? Only time will tell.

How the mind can move objects

In some news I saw on CNN.com, technoligy that allows you to control things via your mind are becoming increasingly popular. They do this by placing censors on your ears that detect how much you're concentrating on something. I find it fascinating how much technoligy is advancing.

What is Broadcast Journalism?

Boradcast Journalism is reporting news. It's faking a smile to tell the world what is going on. One does so by collecting/recieving news, and broadcasting it via media.

I found it interesting to hear how they maintain the 3D glasses, after you drop them off. They take them to a 3D Glasses-washing place, and are washed at a temp. of over 100 deg.! The glasses are $50 a pair, requiring batteries for a built-in security alarm. Who knew all this would go into something like 3D glasses!
