JULES SAID I WAS THE BEST!
THAT HAD TO BE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE TUTORIAL FOR ME.
ALL BECAUSE I TOPPED HIM FOR HOURS I'D BEEN AT UNI.
:)
OKAY NOW ONTO THE TASK
INTERNET DERIVED SHORT FILMS
1. CONCRETE ADDICTION
http://inetfilm.com/movies/documentary/skate.php
I chose this documentary because skating is something i find quite interesting. I could sit and watch a good skater do tricks for hours. Skaters like Tony Hawk and Bam Magera i think are just amazing. They defy gravity in so many ways.
This documentary shows skaters around the city and streets doing what they are passionate about. I find that skaters are looked down upon as a nuisance, which is only sometimes the case. I think that one skater who does something wrong and creates problems gives the rest of them a bad name.
The shots used help portray the message these boys are trying to get across. The constant cuts between skating visuals and the "narrators" gives you a fair idea of who they are and who's sharing their opinion.
2. PARK WARS
http://www.newvenue.com/archives/feature27/index.html
okay so i had to put an animation in because i'm a huge fan of shows such as these, not south park specifically, but shows such as Family Guy, American Dad and The Simpsons. Originally they made each show using construction paper, but people are now saying creators, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, make new elements in Coral Draw and export them as Adobe Illustrator files. The Photoshop and Illustrator files are then sent into Alias/Wavefront's Power Animator 8.5 and Composer on SGI 02 and Octane Workstations, where they are used for animating the episodes.
Each animation has to get Trey's approval and is then sent with the audio to be edited and mixed using Avid Media Composters on Mac computers.
But in April 2001, In the South Park Studios, Karin Perrotta, Post Production Supervisor revealed that South Park is now animated with Maya, with previous items being transferred from Power animator to Maya.
3. TRANSIENCE
http://www.filmaka.com/films.php?sid=&search_keywords=&pg=5&contest_id=289&page=currentsubmission&film_id=a3706e4a-d12b-102c-b9ab-00301b46cca5#
I didnt choose this short film for its content i chose it because of the camera angles and shot types used by the director. The constant panning and cutting makes it intriguing to watch and keeps you guessing. Close ups and long shots mix it up a bit too. Im not sure if they help answer the who, what, when, where and why questions proposed... maybe because there isnt a great deal that needs clarification? who knows?

WEEK 5 LECTURE
Today's lecture was by Jason Nelson.
He was hilarious - ripped on a few people, cracked a few jokes - came up with some funny stuff.
JASON NELSON - SCREWING AROUND
"NET ART"
- creative ways you can use the net to "create" stuff
- data visualisation
+ www.speedtest.net:a broadband speed analysis tool that allows anyone to test their Internet connection. Ookla provides this service for free to anyone curious about the performance of their connection to and from hundreds of locations around the world. Whether you test just for fun or you really need to certify and validate the true speed of your Internet connectivity.
THE WAYBACK MACHINE
+ Dot.com - BOOM - (LATE 1990s, EARLY 2000s) At the height of the dot.com boom everyone was trying to cash in on webmania. New businesses were just created to leverage and utilize the communication power of the Internet.
"As a result of the excitement and euphoria surrounding these new Internet-only companies, many of which no longer exist, some investors made a fortune investing in their initial public offerings and everybody was looking to get rich in the next big thing."
'This ending in the market value of many dot-com companies becoming incredibly inflated even though many of them never even turned a profit! When people began to lose confidence in these stocks, a correction occurred and prices returned to a more natural, less inflated level. = BUST/CRASH!
http://education.wallstreetsurvivor.com/what-financial-bubble
Dot.com - CRASH
"On Friday 14th April, Wall Street experienced its biggest one-day fall in history, ending a week in which US markets lost $2 trillion in value — the equivalent to Germany's entire economy. Worst hit was Nasdaq, the stock exchange favoured by hi-tech companies such as Microsoft. Bill Gates saw his personal fortune drop $30 billion in a few hours ... and Amazon.com and other famous e-commerce companies started laying off staff."

Pets.com
> mascot - sock puppet - sold for $50 000
---> bought superbowl ads (high levels of promotion)
---> discounted pet stock. - e.g. 5kg bag of dog food, $10.... normally $15 in shops.
[they didnt think of the shipping cost]
+basically it was an online business that sold pet accessories and supplies to consumers over the world wide web.

SOCIAL NETWORKING
MySpace was bought for about 1 billion dollars.
> it has never made money
> NO INVESTMENT
> had its "hay day" about 3 or 4 years ago - now Facebook has taken over!
TWITTER is on the rise - climbing up the popularity ladder as one of the most visited sites, but like most other social networking sites it will fall even quicker than it rose.
> WOOFER - the ANTI-TWITTER site [1400 word minimum]
FACEBOOK - practically a waste of life, (like most other social networking sites)
- although its number one for users
SOCIAL NETWORKING - they rise - then "fall" twice as quickly.
Social networking sites are becoming more specific
> targeting certain demographics
- one example we found was "elftown" (become your own master)
DARK SIDE TO SOCIAL NETWORKING:
+ FASTEST WAY TO BECOME AVERAGE AND DULL
+ PERSONAL BECOMES PUBLIC

WEEK 4 TUTORIAL
SCAVENGER HUNT:
okay so i dont know how right these answers are.
but.... i gave them a fair crack. :)
1. What is the height of the World's biggest tree? How long did it take to grow?
"Hyperion, a Coast Redwood in California, at 115.5 m tall the tallest tree in the world, found in 2006. Hyperion is the name of a coast redwood tree in Northern California that has been confirmed to measure 115.55 m (379.1 feet), which ranks it as the world’s tallest known living tree" (Purpleslinky, 2009).
'It is approximately 700 - 800 years old' (SF Chronicle, 2006).
2. What is the best way (quickest, most reliable) to contact Madonna?
umm to call her?
hahaha. nah i don't really know ay.
There's always the social networking sites, like Facebook and twitter. Twitter would be the most reliable, you would think. I found this website though, http://www.contactanycelebrity.com/
you full subscribe and get celebrity information. I don't know how good it is, but it seemed pretty interesting. As seen on CNN.
"Now you can contact any celebrity using our online rolodex of over 59,505 celebrities, 9 156 representatives and 5 538 companies... All cross-referenced with USPS-verified addresses, Phone and Fax numbers, email formulas and charitable causes for easy access to who represents who!" (Contact any celebrity)
3. What is the age of the oldest ever captive elephant? Is this older than the average wild age?
The oldest elephant which ever lived was 86 years of age, named "Lin Wang" and he lived in captivity at the Taipei zoo in Taiwan.
This is just older than the average wild age.
4. a: How would you define the word 'glycomics?' In your own words, what does it really mean?
According to Bio-Medicine.org: "Glycomics, or glycobiology is a discipline of biology that deals with the structure and function of oligosaccharides (chains of sugars). The term glycomics is derived from the chemical prefix for sweetness or a sugar, "glyco-"
So after getting a definition of the word I would say that it is a study of biology which main focus is the study of sugars. This could be relating to sugar content in foods and drinks, etc.
b: What does the term, seagull manager refer to?
SEAGULL MANAGER: "A manager who flies in, makes a lot of noise, craps on everything, and then leaves" (Urban Dictionary.com, 2009).
"The term Seagull Manager dates back to the late '80s, and was used in an article by Michael Madison, who used it to describe a particular management approach of interacting with employees, of only dealing with them when a problem arises, making quick-fire decisions about things, then leaving and letting others have to deal with all of the mess left behind" (Swanktrendz, 2008).
5. What was David Cronenberg's most recent feature film? Which of his films had 'Blondie' in it?
MOST RECENT: A History of Violence (2005)
FILMS WITH BLONDIE: Video Drome (1983)
6. When was the original 'Hackers' released?
AMERICA: 15/09/1995
AUSTRALIA: 11/07/1996
7. Why do phone numbers in Hollywood films start with '555?'
This is because there are no real phone numbers in Hollywood that start with 555.
It was agreed between the TV/Film industry and telcos, to 'reserve' the 555 prefix and NOT assign it to phone numbers, to save people being hassled by kids/cranks/whatever, in case the screen phone number, turned out to be an actual one. It seems it is purely an act of etiquette to avoid inadvertently giving out someone’s phone number. (Simian Play Limited, 2009)
8. What is the cheapest form of travel from the Gold Coast to Cairns?
The cheapest way is walking.
Though the cheapest "logical" way would be to fly.
Flights range from $69 - $469, depending on time of travel and airline you travel with.
9. What song was top of the Australian Pop Charts this week in 1970?
CREEDENCE CLEARWATER REVIVAL: Up around the bend/run through the jungle
This song was number one for 3 weeks 1/08/1970 -> 15/08/1970
10. Which Brisbane band includes Stephen Stockwell on keyboards and vocals?
The Black Assassains

WEEK 4 LECTURE
BIG SCREEN TO SMALL SCREEN.
1895: "Birth of cinema" = although there wasn't anything particularly interesting about these 20 minute screenings, the idea of moving images across a screen was intriguing for people, which in turn meant they were constantly sold out.
The shows were of simple everyday things, not narrative stories like we have today.
1906: The first feature length narrative film made in Australia, by Australians. The fully self contained story of Ned Kelly and the Kelly gang was a huge success.
1927: Birth of the "talkies" = MOVIE: "The Jazz Singer."
before then, all films were silent films - All that accompanied was an orchestra playing and title cards, to help the audience understand what was happening.
1929: The first ALL colour movie released. - movies had been in colour before this but were filmed in black and white, and technicolour transformed it. This one was recorded and presented in colour.
1933: First drive in theatre, New Jersey - 25c per car
1937: Disney released Snow White. - this was the first all colour, all talking, full length animated movie.
1939: T.V. was introduced at the New York Trade Fair
1952: Marked a crucial turning point...
> Birth of 3.D - still unique
1955: Hollywood saw t.v. medium as money maker
> They began selling back catalogues of films to television stations - which meant the first movies on television.
1956: Ampex - first VCR (reels)
1959: Movie - "The tingler"
> Percepto-vision: a little box under the seats in a theatre which would electric shock people at scary points throughout the film - there were only 20/100 seats with the boxes - their screams would cause other people in the cinema to scream.
> Aroma - rama: 50 scents - different aromas would be placed in front of the air conditioning unit to involve the audience.
1963: Ampex released consumer VCR
> Birth of multi-plex theatre = this allowed blockbuster films to be played on more than one screen and more than one complex at any given time.
1967-1969: Sony introduced VCR and porter pack = this meant people could take VCR around with them, and connect it to their camera and record their own images.
1970: Screens getting smaller.
> IMAX DEBUT
1972: Pay T.V - make money 3 times.
> the more avenues a film travels down, the higher the profit.
1985: First Blockbuster video shop
> yet another avenue
1986: PIXAR - full CGI film
> LUXO JUNIOUR
1995: PIXAR made "Toy Story"
> full length CGI animated film.
1997: DVDs released as format to watch films.
>Kevin Rubeo - internet film. (star wars mashed with cops - parody)
------> "Troops" <------ **Hollywood failed to grasp the concept of the internet - failed to realise people are downloading films on a daily basis. (They still havent learnt) 2001: High watermark internet films > BMW hired biggest international directors and created 8 short films about 10 minutes each.
The lecture kind've went over-time today: which was a bit disappointing because we had to cut this time line up a little bit and i was finding it really interesting. Thats why there are a few big gaps. Josh put it on learning at griffith, but it didnt work.....? So i dont really know whats going on there.
I re-read the new lecture notes and they were alot more interesting than mine.

INTERNET TIME LINE
In today's society, the internet is one of the most important means of communication, not only locally or nationally, but globally. It has definitely removed all barriers which prevented this global communication phenomenon. The internet is used by millions on a daily basis, for both recreational and work-related tasks. The history of the internet is one which baffles many people - this time line gave me a better understanding to the extent of how quickly the internet has evolved, so i'm sure it will help you too.
1958 - President Eisenhower requested funding for the establishment of the Advanced Research Project agency (ARPA). His request was approved.
1962 - J.C.R. Licklider and W. Clark wrote a paper on the concept of the internet. "On-line Man Computer Communications."
1965 - The first network experiment took place at the MIT Lincoln Lab, and it had two computers communicating with each other. The experiment was conducted by Larry Roberts.
1969 - ARPA was introduced online.
1972 - Ray Tomlinson introduced the electronic mail. (@ was used in email addresses to separate the name of user and the name of the network)
1973 - The design of the Transmission Control Panel/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) was developed. [It would become the standard for Internet communication in 1983].
1981 – Microsoft developed Disk Operating System (DOS).
1982 – The term “Internet” was introduced.
1988 – The Internet Worm virus temporarily disabled 10% of the Internet servers around the world.
1989 – The World (world.std.com) became the first dial-up Internet access provider.
- Tim Berners-Lee proposed a new set of protocols for Internet information distribution. They were: http (hyper text transfer protocol), ftp (file transfer protocol), pop (post office protocol), smtp (simple mail transfer protocol) and nntp (newsgroups protocol) - These five protocols enabled users to use hyperlinks to connect to documents in websites and they became known as the World Wide Web protocols and the W3 protocols and were soon adopted by the early Internet community. A consortium of organisations was formed to oversee Internet development and became known as the W3 Consortium.

"Throughout the years, the Internet has grown to become a multi-billion dollar industry, and online spending is constantly on the rise. As such, many businesses have set up websites to try to gain a global market, and consumers are responding by making more and more purchases online. This is one of the main reasons why the Internet will continue to grow in importance and become a big part of our lives (MerchantOS, 2009)."
