Online Photos



The picture I uploaded was a photo I got at the sum 41 concert in October of this year. I found it super simple to upload onto x. I think the sum 41 concert is an interesting event as they are a relatively unheard band excluding a few songs and if you’re not in the rock scene you probably won’t know who they are. It was also my first proper mosh pit experience, so getting a still shot was relatively difficult as I was getting pushed about a bit the entire time. I found it more interesting to see the difference in every concert I go to with us being at Leeds arena the atmosphere was different to that of local venues where it feels a bit more intermit.

Another reason why this image and this concert I would consider newsworthy is that it is, supposedly, going to be their last ever concert after doing tours for the last two decades. This means this will be one of the last times your able to get a shot of them all together and for a life long fine made this concert among the best I’ve ever seen. I would also say its newsworthy as it gives an insight into the music scene in Leeds itself.

I found Flickr easy to use and I easily made sense of the copyright material on them. Basically, if I attribute the image back to the person of origin I wouldn’t be breaking the copyright restrictions. However, if I redistribute it directly for monetary gain these breaches on copyright infringements, similarly if I remix, build upon or distribute the image after I’ve made amendments to it, I may not distribute it as despite this, its still not my own work and/or could cause different meaning than what the original creator had wanted.

Getty images I found more complex especially when it came to trying to embed images onto my blogger which in my attempts, I could only ever insert a hyperlink and not the image itself. However, I imagine it would be better for a mainstream company rather than an individual like myself. I think having to pay for the images ensures that they are always of the highest quality and lacks the amateur aesthetic of Pinterest and Flickr.

Images online in general searches tend to be private sources so will always come with some type of copyright unless they come from a trusted source. The ability to filter searches by the creative common licence means that images online, in general, which I can use appear faster and creates an overall easier experience for me to have. This also allows for easier crediting of sources and websites that I have used to source the images that I have used

I had a lot of real fun making my YouTube video which inevitably just became me discussing myself. For a person who hates the sound of his own voice I found the editing process took a significantly longer time than I had first anticipated, however using Microsoft Clipchamp I was able to do it with relative ease. For the most part I just kept the raw footage as I find that most YouTube videos and youtubers in general try to keep this supposed amateur aesthetic for as long as possible as it creates relatability to them as well as humanising them with obvious straight cuts being left in when things have obviously been cut out. I also found that messing about with different camera angles and lighting lead to more creativity. My shooting location would only be accessible on sunnier days as it doesn’t get a lot of light from my lights as the walls and ceiling are dark, so I had to wait for the most opportune moment. Messing about with different ways of recording was also fun, most of it wa...

pocket

  Pocket has a simplistic design which I found engaging and easy to use, and allowed for an overall more enjoyable user experience for myself when I was on the app. The ability to share information to the app and reopen websites without there over population of ads to distract me from the main source material, this has allowed for a far better user experience as, at least for me, I have a shorter attention span so the ability for it to show up with a more simplistic feel and for it all to be organised as if I was reading it off of word, it feels like a far better experience than if I was just reading it online, were I could go off on a goose chase and end up in a completely different website or article than what I stated on. They allow for easy shareability and organisation of my various media sources and websites rather than the unorganised chaos which can be said for my usually filling system with my word documents. Having the ability to have my sources at my fingertips and separ...

transmedia storytelling : Nosferatu

Image
  So, I have Odeon limitless for a reason, because I truly love the cinematic experience, so when I heard that they had remade Nosferatu it was a no brainer to go and what a first cinema trip of the year it turned out to be. Not only was the film truly breath taking with its use of landscapes shots to develop this world that was created but was a good excuse to get my mates together before they went back to university. The film overall is a perfect homage to the original and keeps the rawness of the characters like that of the source material. The initial trailer introduces us to the lead female character, Ellen Hutter, and the experience she’s having with Nosferatu. The trailer shows key examples of the dread, fear and hopelessness the character develops when he is with her, swapping from high key to natural lighting when she is amongst friends to almost swapping back to 1922, by swapping to a more film noir style as the colour and light has almost been absorbed by the monster. ...
