Blog Post #24
Goals: More than 10 pictures, less than 20. Captions with explanations not much longer than 3 or 4 sentences. An effective argument. Organization, not confusing and easy to follow. Gets the person’s interest and attention. Entertaining.
I particularly like the way images were used in the Aryan Sisterhood slide-show. I will probably use multiple images at a time in my show also. In the making of halo 3, I like the length of the captions. Mine will probably be a bit longer but they are short and to the point.
The internet has a way of really reaching out to youth. The Web 2.0 has gotten young adults involved in You Tube, blogs, and social networkings sites. Now more than ever politics are using the web to campaign and distribute information, trying to increase political involvement among young adults and non-voters.
For my slide-show i was thinking about having a variety of images. I want to use some collages like the Aryan Sisterhood slide-show. I’m going to have logos for myspace, yahoo, and you tube. I want to put up some altered pictures and maybe a video to show how people are using the web negatively against political candidates.
Good ideas, I like your topic on politics and media, I’m looking forward to see your argument, especially since I’m a young voter and this topic defiantly pertains to me.
I agree with your argument! it is crazy how many applications on facebook are about the presidential election. Also, on Youtube there are so many political movies about not just the presidential campaign but also many other politicians. Good job and I like your topic, something I would have never thought about.
