Finished with the video...
My finish product is here: Phase 2 (FINAL)
I've made a lot of edits while creating the video, though overall when the video was first completed, I added/deleted/changed some things like 2 times.
All the videos are from Youtube. Some are confessions/vlog videos, some were all act videos, gameplays from games and videos that actually advertise certain products/company. Overall I think it worked out pretty well, though I wish, I was able to find more videos that I could use instead of repeating some of them. However, it's not TOO BAD of a thing because repetition creates that image or realization into one's head so they will understand it. If not understanding at least, getting a jist of what it actually is haha.
The theme or idea is a bit confusing to some people. It's mainly about children knowing what their "thing" is. Not the thing that each girl/boy might have differently, but the "thing" that we all have, talent/ideas/traits etc. Instead, I switched that idea around and said sure you can have this "thing" but that "thing" could overwhelm you. In this case, I'm showing technology related items/"things" that tend to have children going berserk depending on the moment(s).
Oh and to some of you, it might seem like that some of the clips don't like children. Technically, you are not an "adult" till 18 so yeah I'm pretty sure most of the clips/videos in this phase 2 are all under 18, not that I researched the users up or what not haha...

Phase 2 Update & More
Okay so far within my phase 2, I've been going through some of the examples I've seen that was uploaded so far and it gave me some more ideas
I would for sure use clips that I've talked about from before but in a different way. Using clips from CCA (Children Concern Advertisement) commercials (mainly the audio) and using ciips from youtube that represent the opposite of what it means. Or more of what some of the outrageous things teens and/or people do from the result of technology (in this case mainly over excessive gaming).
Now I'm sure you've noticed that "more" part on the title. Basically...what I want to remind myself of how stupid I was. Looking back at Phase 1, I have to admit it is hard...but to a point where I realized I screwed one part up. On the main page of my website that I created, I used the same quote twice by accident. It's a bit too late to turn back now unfortunately...so all I can hope for is that my mark doesn't deduct TOO much because of that fact lol.
Till next time!

Remix?
Today, after listening/learning more about the open source movement. In a way I could create something that relate to it...just that it might be pointless since the video itself already shows that it's an open source movement? It's remixed, remade, added onto the actual value. Connecting this to my phase 1, it's the same because of how the the GUI was hacked in order to have it more openly use. People would go through the process of recreating or "adding on the value" to what was already made and call it your own.
While typing this, Nadine spoke to me.
Other thoughts came in, she reminded me I had to create a video that doesn't have other clips just put in and just means what it means. I need to generate a different meaning from the original of the videos.
The conclusion...would be to show mainly the negative side or reality of how technology is trying to make the virtual reality. Just that some technology goes too far in terms of what they do to create that feeling for the consumers (i.e. gamers, technology lovers, or practically anyone).
I'm going to have to experiment with videos to make it mean something different...
Gonna be an on-going process...for now
Till later...

Repetidea
Ideas can be repetitive and over used...but there are times when it works even if it's a constancy. What I'm saying, is that a new idea just came into my head.
I'm not sure if this idea will work or not but hopefully it will.
I think I was inspired by this one song and the surrounding environment around me. The monitors, television screens and so on that seems to show/view other info/ideas. The song that started all this is: Speed of Sound, by Coldplay.
Though, looking closely at the lyrics of "Speed of Sound", I'm sure that it doesn't literally relate fully into my idea that is unfolding here. Even so, I think that having several TV's or even just one would be okay because it all starts from one source out to another source. Creating a similar way of "an open source" database or system that anyone/everyone can use.
More will be written...later today. At the moment, I'm going to test it out on Final Cut Pro.

New Ideas from Lecture
Today within the class of FACS 2930, Marc showed a video of a person following a girl with a camera. The title of the film/clip is actually called "Rape", though it doesn't exactly mean what it means literally. However, phyiscally...we would literally think of it like the man is going to rape the girl both brutally and violently.
There are moments within the film where the girl starts to feel uncomfortable because of the camera. Comparing this to the 21st century there are all these surveillance around us that watches us, yet we're not feeling "uncomfortable". Therefore it is definitely questionable why the society now is able to understand or ignore such an act as safe as it is suppose to be for security.
From this, it gives me the idea of imitating someone changing the interface of the place or home where they are in. The environment around them except, in reality instead of virtually.
The framework of this idea could be someone flipping on the tv or just on the computer (having the camera focus on the computer screen itself) to show they want to customize something. Maybe it could be not related to the interaction of the computer but it could be where one imagines and establishes a change within a room? So like switch piece by piece to show the art of "home" or where ever the place I choose to be like...
Hopefully that's workable cause I can definitely "imagine" it happening...
On a side note, going back on the lecture of today...I'm watching a video where there's two screens. Both showing the same scene at times, one could change to show text, and one could show animation of the guide to "drop bombs" for technician. It's interesting how it works, there is also audio within the video (plus subtitles of course) which brings up the fact that I could totally change the audio where no one would understand but using fake subtitles so it seems logical
Going back on this one video Marc showed and explained earlier...the one about JenniCam is pretty interesting. Not that it's showing a girl and it could be similar to pornography of any sort but because it's like a documentary of a girl in her everyday life. Giving the audiences/fans different views (since she set up more than 1 camera) is like having surveillance cameras watching you and "you know it". Though, I'm not sure how I would be able to find videos online to do something similar...it could be worth a try.

Restarting
Yes, it's finally time to restart school well ever since last week of course...
Focusing back now, and being back to reality where things has to be due...
Phase 2 is going to be due pretty soon...
So far, there hasn't been a lot of ideas...
However, lately...going through clips from YouTube gave me some ideas. The creativity of either shorts, made up subtitles from an actual clip from movies (that make sense of course), and music videos that shows a totally different meaning or just very radical way of showing what the song meant compared to other usual mv's are in a way inspiring me. Wow...what a run-on sentence haha...anyways back on topic...
Some clips would be something like this mv, the user took clips from a movie and added song Creep by Radiohead. Here's a peak at it if you want...
Another clip I found that was definitely humourous caught my attention...One about Adolf Hitler. The user made Hitler angry about this new movie that's coming out even though clearly, we all know what it's not about it and is about WWII.
Those are just a small portion of what I've seen. Many ideas are starting to form, though I have to experiment a bit on how I plan to create such an idea that relates to my phase 1.
Hoping that by the coming Tuesday, I'll be able to get something going...
Then again hoping is not enough, I have to take some action so most likely...I'll start to look back at phase 1 and see what clips I have on the internet that's available/applicable
