My favourite media production was crime. Crime was my favourite production as it showed the real life truths behind drugs, with a REAL police officer, and a REAL 'Bitty' (exact word used of the review. In addition, it strongly emphasises the addiction behind drugs, and a first-hand users opinion on the drug.
Another production I enjoyed was 'How Homophobic is London'. I enjoyed this, as it was brave to show such a documentary to the unkind audience of youths. Not only that though, but it did infact slightly alter my views on the topic.
Lastly, I enjoyed 'Stranger'. It was hard hitting, and made me think of past times when i was hanging around with people doing certain things, making people fell certain feelings.. Put me in the opposite shoes for a change.

TOP GEAR MAGS
MAX POWER

The Machine is Us/ing Us and the New Mediascape
he started with text on paper and what it means
not just about people, about linking people in new ways
every 6months there is a new way.
when we change, media changes
Introducing our Research Team
10 undergraduate students,
data uploading, students can take notes and upload at any time.

redone over 2000 times
15% are remakes of the video
5% of vids are personal vlogs addressed to the YouTube community, Why?
the loss of community over time
YouTube in context. The loss of community and "networked individualism" (Wellman)
less free time
isolation

value: community, relationships, authenticity
Understanding new forms of community through Participant Observation
the core of our methodology,
have to understand it to experience it
YouTube as a medium for community
build community through webcams
everytime you go onto a webcam, the person is unknown
Our first vlogs
people basically film themselves and post their videos on the net. they edit and retake to make it look perfect; hair, type of shot etc.
The webcam: Everybody is watching where nobody is ("context collapse")
the way that we look pose and remake ourselves for a webcamera trying to be somebody else when nobody is there, when in actual fact the whold world can see you.
Re-cognition and new forms of self-awareness (McLuhan)
everybody and anybody may be looking at you, including yourself.
The Anonymity of Watching YouTube: Haters and Lovers
"some of the comments on youtube make you weep for the future of humanity just for the spelling alone, never mind the obscenity and the naked hatred."
Lev Grossman
time magazine. dec 13th 2006
Aesthetic Arrest
people are overwhelmed with what they have infront of thenm, so they just sit and stare.
cultual tension.
craving connection.
Connection without Constraint
people are connecting through youtube.
media do not just distance us,
they connect us in different ways.
but sometimes that distance brings us closer toegether.
