After a short and brief anchor introduction WGN’s, Erik Runge, tells his story on the upcoming bad allergy season through a donut live shot. In his introduction live shot, Runge stumbles a bit, but then quickly recovers from it by restating the word and pretending like it never happened. Runge’s b-roll video that was shot in the same perimeter just through different angles around the same lake area in Lincoln Park was lacking and did not compliment the story well at all. Some close up b-roll on growing plants was more effective than the other videos because it represented pollen, a main cause of allergies. Runge also only followed around one allergy victim who did not have many powerful things to say beyond the obvious negative comments on…
Our team did not get a chance to discuss about the final presentation. We had some technical difficulties with our first team meeting with Iconnect. But next week we all made it our priority to discuss each person’s role and tasks for the final presentation and do more discussion about CanGo.…
Maquilapolis seems to me that it is doing more harm than good. I thought well it’s creating jobs for people so they can live happily, but it’s just big name companies exploiting non skilled workers. It really surprises me that the United States and Mexico let things get the way they were in the video. I agree with the women that are standing up to the companies they should fight to get better treatment and they should get paid for work they already did. These women, which make up 80% of the work force, are being deprived of their rights as humans and workers. According to the women they were constantly being harassed, pressured and being exposed to chemicals…
The movie Gattaca starts with the birth of Vincent Anton Freeman whose genetics show him to be prone to many disorders. He is given an estimated life span of just above thirty years to live. Vincent’s parents then decide to use genetic selection to give birth to another child whom they name Anton. As boys, Anton and Vincent play “chicken.” They swim until one of them gives up and loses. Vincent never wins. His dream is to go up in space, but as an in-valid (not genetically selected) he does not stand a chance.…
When building many of the castles in the 1300-1400’s the main purpose was to keep the enemies out and of course for conquest. In the video I watched, the Forbidden Knowledge video, they called out some very key point of why and how these fortresses and castles where erected and defended. Not only where there kings of the lands, but then each of those lands were divided up to noble kin and lords. They were always trying to better there futures with more land, even if that included killing your own cousin to get his piece of land. One great example of an intuitive fortress, Caesar had made a donut shaped fortress at one point around a small town; he shut out and was starving the people in the town and then also keeping out the men that were…

Upon entering the United States the two meet Olivia, the wife of a former sheriff and the owner of the land they were attempting to pass through.

The boys shoe again only this time scaring the horse. Olivia falls off as the horse is spooked and is later pronounced dead. Olivia's husband Roy shows up investigating…
For a long period of time, 24 frames per second was looked in the film industry as a standard. But with major advances in film technology in the most recent years, movies such as The Hobbit are one of the first to contain 48 frames per second. The result of this is a better and more clear visual quality in the film.…

“ Spirits inhabited the world of all native peoples in the Americas; communicating with those spirits occupied a good portions of their lives” ( Competing Visions, pg 14 ). The Miwoks are a group who lived from the north and east of San Francisco Bay and had used traditional spirit tales to express their origin, which should have been told for many generations. Unfortunately the Miwok elders passed away before spreading their tales. The tale of the Coyote, Condor, and Falcon is a bit complex and it may be necessary it a few times. In the excerpt from The Dawn of the World, the coyote is considered one of the first Native Americans.…

I learned a lot about nine-eleven from the video that I had not known before. The video that we watched was truly eye opening to the evilness of was happened on nine eleven, and I am thankful that I could watch and learn from it.…
The Sarah Bartmaan video today had some very shocking mistreatment of African Americans. I don’t understand how Europeans could justify their actions of treating another human being like that. Also to know that people still went to see her pickled remains for almost a century after her death showed that it was more than one person that contributed to this. People thought that African Americans were a different species and weren’t even human. We can also see this in our society today. I grew up outside the Bronx, and my school was mainly comprised of African American and Hispanic people. My cousins that lived just outside the city in the suburbs, went schools were the population was 90% white. It is almost like our races still keep us separate…
The People Bomb was a CNN film from 1992 that focuses on the many issues of economics and health due to the continuing swell of human population. The video examines the growth patterns of the population boom, which some countries are at the greatest risk, and what can be done to help. The video emphasizes the estimate that at the current population growth rate, there will be over three times the number of people on the earth at the end of the 21st century as there were at the beginning. This estimate was made nine years ago so I can only assume the numbers are worse now.…
For my creative media project, I put together a short music video. I decided to make a music video because I felt is was significant to a problem in todays society. Today, popular culture, such as today’s hits music, has a negative impact on women and young girls. For example, in a lot of songs with a male artist, the male will degrade women. With that said, one may turn on the radio, or television, and hear a song about how the male artist is so wealthy that he can sleep around with any girl that he would like. In the music video of the same song, one may see a women, wearing little or no clothing, dancing seductively on the artist. This is very alarming to our youth of girls. Because of the lyrics and music videos, young girls will look up…
