Earth Day



Air Pollution

You don't have to make a big investigation to see the reality... pollution is everywhere... and not everyone is doing something about it.. causing the earth more damage. "The sources of it are many; factories, dry cleaners, transportations (car, buses), etc etc.. And it damages the essential things on Earth; humans, trees, oceans, etc." (EPA)

Through the past couple of years air pollution has become a greater issue than it should've been. Now the skies are not as blue as they were.. forest are not full with trees as they were ... oceans are changing drastically its water currents... and all because of what we as humans are doing...

People want modern things.. we want to evolve.. and sometimes the cost is bigger than we expect. When we started eventing things, we never thought of the consequences of it and now our future generations will have to pay for it. Although we are now aware of the damages we can produced, the damage is done. But we can try to make it a better place and start making conscious in people so we can decrease the damage.

A lot of people are making campaigns, articles, books, tv programs, etc. so people can be aware of what is really happening to our HOME the Earth. Sometimes people give for granted what they have, until they loose it. And honestly we are loosing our home. We cant aloud this anymore, air pollution is increasing and the consequences of it can be dangerous.



As citizen we have to make things in our hands that will prevent air pollution to increase. For example dont use hair spray, instead of using 3 cars to go to school you can take turns for whos gonna take the car each day... use the bike.. etc we can do it. If we dont do this the ozone layer can completely vanished.. and if that happens.. our lives will be in danger.. as we can now see.. global pollution is also a big issue. We should really start to take this seriously.

If we propose ourselves to have a better future, we can propose to take care of our Home .. The Earth. The place where we grew adults and has seen people come and go.. and it should continue to do it for centuries and centuries.





Here's a small documentary about air pollution.

Commercials

Mastercard- Victoria Lemus from markpicketts on Vimeo.




This week we watched all of our classmate's commercials , they were really cool and original! yet i think all of our commercial could've used better quality but beside that they were all really good. but if i had to choose... emmm..
I like Andrea Serna's commercial, it was so cute! the little boy and girl...
I also love dany's message of her commercial, it was really cute! but i would advise her the same things i have to my own/... to record with a real camera, because the quality wasnt that good. but i loved the kids dancing.
Paulina's video was also cool.. i think everyone did their best.. its just a general comment to everyone to ask for better quality..
If i would have to re-do my project i would use a camera, not the one for photos but the one to film. so i can get better quality, beside that im really happy with my commercial :)

Sixth Sensers

OMG!! i am in shock i cant even start to express how shock i am...
This is amazing !!! When i was watching, all i could think about was.. OMG! this is so cool!! He is a genius!! He is officially one of the most ... if not . the MOST important inventor in the world right now. He has arrived to a point of technology where nothing can stop him.. and us. I would totally would want one of these.. it is soo coool!! It is not a necessity but its something to light things up in your life.. you could make it easier in some many ways that i cant mention all.
The greatest things about this technology is the camera, the "delay flight" in your airplane ticket, the clock in your risk, the dvd in a simple piece of paper, the phone in your hand, the video games in a white sheet of paper, everything is amazing! the way you can copy paste from a text directly to a paper and then print it... everything is amazing! But it does has its limitations... after this products goes out in the market, we will be slaved to this product... we are already slaved to our computers, blackberrys, etc, etc ,... i cant even imagine how are we going to interact.. society as we know it .. will eventually fade. People are going to look for the balance of reality with technology.. but honestly.. its impossible.. I cant think of any other limitation..
Open Source means that it will be open to the entire market.. to everyone.. to every single one of us... most of the time the most technological things are really expensive.. so the average people cant get it. The Sixth Sensers's pros to be open source its that it will be available to a lot of people, to people who cant speak.. to people who cant hear.. making their lives easier. The cons is what i said before about the slaved thing.. we will be all attach to this gadget and will not socialize with everyone. What have i used that is "open source?.. well youtube, facebook, limewire... this programs are available to everyone.. so this could be an open source example.

Video Editing

When i saw the last couple of videos the first things i thought were that i like-love-and found pretty interesting the way it expresses their message. The one that i trully loved was the Dove one, the one that expresses the real beauty and teaches us what magazines are up to. All of the videos were interesting and each one of them had they unique way to teach-show-us what their message is all about. The commercials that normally stick out in my mind are the ones of mastercard, sprite or coca-cola. normally those are the most funny ones! love them. It is because of their way to show us their brand, making it fun and appealing to the public eye, they discover new ways to sell their brand..

In my commercial i want to use elements that will "drawn" people to my "brand" or whatever i want to merchentize or sell...I'm still not sure how i am going to do it, but i want it to be cool and people actually wanting to see it. I think im expecting a lot of challenges because i dont know how to make one, nor have the whole concept of making my ideas real actions and not just thoughts. The challenges that may present are: how to make it, what things to use, how to edit, etc , etc.. hope this will be fun
