Web 2.0 is YOU!

     I believe that these emerging technologies will benefit literacy skills in people. Blogs can inform people with knowledge. Blogs can be another source of information over the internet. There are many ways people prefer to learn; personally I am a visual learner. Education Video can help people learn and is another good source for information. E-readers and E-books can benefit people who like to read. You can download a book and read without the weight of the book. The E-readers are more convenient than carrying books around with you. Emerging technologies has a huge positive impact on literacy.

      The Web 2.0 is challenging us to rethink ourselves because the web is linking us together. There are many ways to share information over the internet. We need to think about what we post or search over the internet. We need to keep an eye on what we post over the internet because anyone can see it. Family, friends, co-workers and even your boss can see what you have posted on Facebook, YouTube etc. Our education can be easier with the help of the web; we can easily search for information. We need to rethink ourselves because the web is linking us together.

Music Video Analysis

Taken off Youtube

     The music video I have chosen to analyze is With You by Chris Brown. My immediate reaction on this video was that it was one of my favorite songs, Chris browns dancing also caught my attention, and Chris Brown has really improved from the past. I have never seen this music video in a long time and it brought back memories. I also noticed that Chris Brown's music has changed. They're many things that the music video that kept me watching, the camera work that panned along Chris while he dances. They also used slow motion and glowing effects to add more color and more meaning to the video.

     I think the musical made the music video because of the popularity the song has gotten. The song was played every day on every radio station. Videos that are popular tend to have a music video.  I think one of the themes of the music video is love, because Chris is singing a song about being with someone. The only gospel values I can see on the video are to love your partner and they are more important than anything.

     Some events that may have influenced the musical group to make the music video are is the fact that the song was so popular. The whole video works together because the song is about Chris wanting to be with this girl. The music video shows him sad and wanting to be with the girl. The slow motion also adds a dramatic effect. The glowing effects on his shirt and background make me focused on Chris Brown. The music video I have chosen influenced my reception of the song because the video gives a deeper meaning to the song.
