The "Toxic" Relationship Between Trent and Daria

Hey you all, check out my video on Trent and Daria. If you have a You-tube account comment on it. I look forward to reading them!

I chose the song “Toxic” by Britney Spears, because out of my MP3 collection of songs I felt that it was catchy, and the lyrics fit the message. I wanted to convey the underlining relationship of Trent and Daria. I tried to make actions blend with the words. For example, when the song talks about falling, I inserted the scene from the episode of Daria’s mother and sister falling. This kind of match up is in the fan video a several of times. I put the title sequence after the first scene because it felt that it should go after Trent and Daria’s father talking. I left the sound on after the title so people could get the first half of the conversation. After everything was finished I used the old, black and white special effect to hide the logo on the bottom of the video. I did not want to use all the clips from the episode or the whole song. I did that to cover myself from being sued or my video taken down. However, it does seem that I ended the video abruptly because I ended the song early.

I like to talk, but when I'm really interested I write.

I've read all the reading for the class, even the ones on-line that I have mixed feelings about. I am not interested enough to write about some of the topics we were suppose to comment about. I'm more of a person to write about my day, and random thoughts about movie stars, etc. on my Facebook notes.

I think that the separation in the class is between the "people who care" and "people who will care in the future". The people who care, do the assignments as soon as they know about it. Since the class do not have a set due date for blogs , we (I'm part of the people who will care) care to do them in the future. The writers and the talkers can be the same people. I write for a living as an American Studies major, History minor, and MCS certificate. I like to talk more. It's not a procrastination thing, nor is it a plan ahead thing. Also, the people who sometimes don't speak up don't do the reading. However, I really don't know. All I know is that I do the reading, I attempt to blog every time I see something I'm interested in, and I talk in class.

Wiki-ality!! I love Steven Colbert for that term!

I love Wikipedia! I love getting lost in pages, clicking related links on people, groups, and other things. I learn so much about the inner histories of actors, characters, and shows. I look at Wikipedia for fun and entertainment. I also look at it when I want to know more about a particular topic. So I agree with Jimmy Wales statement that people my age do read Wikipedia for more knowledge. I know some of my friends that look at Wikipedia for info on movies. However, I think that is crazy when IMDb is the best on that subject. BUT, Wikipedia is the best on bios and stuff.
