HAGGERSTON MEDIA

During the first half of period 5today you need to : Use your phones to capture 5-6 phone interviews people talking about the content of your blog and the pages you have made so far.

 In TV News these are called 'Vox-pops' just little clips of people giving their opinion to camera. If they don't want their faces to appear on camera then just record their voices.

 You will need these clips in the following half of the lesson so its important you do this well.

 Ask them questions that will lead to constructive answers about your work so far and the work you hope to do in the future.


 NOTE: You need to work in places that are away from the corridors as this doesn't give you permission to walk around schools using your phones as you please.

Over half term you shoudl be starting to research your Double Page Spreads.

Find 10 examples you like. There about 5 or 6 in every magazine issue, so this shouldn't be difficult.
Post them on your blog and underneath


1: Explain what appeals to you about them.
2; What do you think are the main conventions used on a DPS?
3: What, in your opinion, does not work well on a DPS?


If you want to start doing your sketches and plans for a DPS then fine. But remember we also have to write the article / interview for this, so make sure you read lots of DPSs also !

Just saw this on vimeo and thought it might provoke some ideas.

How do you think they made it?

THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER


So we have talked about Andrew Keen before but now he has a new book out about why he still really hates the internet. Its essentially writing your essay counter arguments for you so you could do with buying his book and memorising it !

Instead here is an article about it:

So last week we looked at arguments against the Rise of We Media:

From THE LAST WORD
At the 2005 TED Conference, Kevin Kelly told the Silicon Valley crowd that we have a moral obligation to develop technology. “Imagine Mozart before the technology of the piano,” he said. “Imagine Van Gogh before the technology of affordable oil paints. Imagine Hitchcock before the technology of film.”
But technology doesn’t create human genius. It merely provides new tools for self-expression. And if the democratized chaos of user-generated Web 2.0 content ends up replacing mainstream media, then there may not be a way for the Mozarts, Van Goghs, and Hitchcocks of the future to effectively distribute or sell their creative work.
Instead of developing technology, I believe that our real moral responsibility is to protect mainstream media against the cult of the amateur. We need to reform
rather than revolutionize an information and entertainment economy that, over the last two hundred years, has reinforced American values and made our culture the
envy of the world. Once dismantled, I fear that this professional media—with its rich ecosystem of writers, editors, agents, talent scouts, journalists, publishers, musicians, reporters, and actors—can never again be put back together. We destroy it at our peril.
So let’s not go down in history as that infamous generation who, intoxicated by the ideal of democratization, killed professional mainstream media. Let’s not be remembered for replacing movies, music, and books with YOU! Instead, let’s use technology in a way that encourages innovation, open communication, and progress, while simultaneously preserving professional standards of truth, decency, and creativity. That’s our moral obligation. It’s our debt to both the past and the future.


But today we looked at Edward Snowden and the discussion aroudn whistleblowers in a social media democracy:

Here you can ifnd ideas, links and resources to help you build up decent arguments against the positive, collaborative, web 2.0 culture :
