How Does LonelyGirl 15 fit into the film Market? (In Class Writing No. 8)

I think that LonelyGirl 15 fits into the mini-film market, only because of the way the series was shot: very intimate and she was the director, producer and writer of it(at least that is what we were lead to believe). But the popularity of the series lately makes it lean towards the Television market as well.

Karen's Response:
I agree she makes a good argument but Lonelygirl is short. They are 2-3 min long and don't really compare to a movie.

Yael's Response:
How does the fact that its so popular make it more like T.V. Can't a movie gain a lot of popular too?

Doris's Response:
Because of the time each clip is made to make it more like a TV series. It has a continuity rhythm to each video that makes you want to see what's next; just like a TV show like Sex and the City.

Nicole Terrano's Response:
I think that it could be like a mini film except that she pretty much carries on one topic from one show to the nexr unlike videos that stop.

In Class Writing No.7

In the LonelyGirl videos there is a sixteen year old girl, who talks about her parents and how they're so strict and religious. She also has her friend Daniel there who is always in the background hiding from the camera whenever he's in her room. I also noticed a picture frame with a picture that looks like a Church in the background anytime she's there.

Fact from Proving Science Wrong: Ants are really stupid by themselves but in a group they're smart and they communicate with each other to get ahead.

-In the video of 'Bree' swimming the music is 60's Funky, aphrodisiac music and Daniel is taking different shots of her body.

-I believe that having the fans' perspective on these videos gives them a sense of control, knowing that their suggestions could sort of manipulate the way the plot of the series go. Also having this on television would be too expensive.

In Class Writing No.6(UNIT 2).

1)What is appealing about 'Bree' the Lonely Girl Character?
I think that she may relate to other weird teenage girls like herself.
Girls who look like her but are afraid to admit to themselves that they have a weird side might find her cool or even much of a role model.

2)What is it saying 'YouTube' is for the generation right now? Is it imitating people right now, What's the language saying to you?
The language I think is saying that young people frankly have nothing better to do with their lives and so they spend time talking about useless parts of their lives and posting it for America to see.

3)In the video I agree with Zack, he made some very strong claims pertaining to the technology of the world and how far we as individuals have come from the past 100 years. At the end he makes a strong thesis saying "YouTube can change the world"only if we let it. We have control over our lives and if we choose to let YouTube consume our lives then there's a great chance that YouTube can change the world just the same was as the Industrial Revolution changed our life.

4)I think people's desire to be on YouTube for 'the whole world' to see is very appealing to some individuals because it gives them a chance to be famous and have their name or talent known to everyone there.

5)Are you more important electronically than in real life?
Of course, I am more important electronically than in real life in my opinion but when it comes to how other individuals see me who aren't my friend or my family members then I will say probably in their opinions I'm more important electronically than in real life(they just don't know me).

Mark Poster

In the article the Information Empire, Mark Poster says,"The best, recent example of counter-productive tactics is Al-Qaeda's murderous acts of Septemer 11, 2001, playing as they did right into the hands of George W. and his crew in their bellicose, hypernationalist designs".

In MLA Format

As Mark Poster stated on The Information Empire, the September11 attacks executed by AlQaeda is a good example of an action which had an opposite effect of what its original intentions were; feeding into George W. Bush's nationalists desires and hunger for war(317).
