A Remix Manifesto

Here is a link to the video I will be discussing. I will highlight the beginning and my favorite parts.

A Remix Manifesto is a movie long film with everything from the creation of the internet to Disney's infamous ways. The video starts with the introduction of "mash ups" with the artist Girl Talk. This is the start of the debate over you making something your own work through creativity and stealing someone's music. Even back then this was an issue. Now, it is something that is based upon the creator of the music and its genre. The video then goes into the topic of Copyright vs. Copyleft. This is the introduction to the "remix" culture that took over the internet. In EDM music, my personal favorite, DJ's thrive off one another and the community accepts the remixes and reusing of popular songs. There is no copyright issue; it is quite the opposite as there is an encouragement for remakes. This transfers into the culture of remakes, mash ups, and remixes becoming very popular and evolving to the new interests of people. The EDM industry is increasing at a rapid rate that the millennial generation connects with. The complexity of music publishing and the system for actually creating a legitimized remix is a process. The past laws and rules try to control the new generation; but I think we are getting over this copyright issue in music so others can show their talent.

Group Project 1

Image
In class, we were assigned a project to focus on collaboration and the formation of groups. Were able to choose our own teams and our task was to create a presentation of a group we found (for the class) We were asked to use Tuckman's five stages to analyze and interpret these groups. There were a lot of good presentations; but my personal favorite was the one some group did about the movie The Longest Yard. Greats videos with accompanying explanations to make a great presentation. My group, however, did the film Rouge One. This was a good example because in all star wars movies there is a group that comes together to try and fight evil. This movie was a little stranger though, especially for the adjourning stage, because this was everyone's death because once they fulfilled their goal, they all were killed. My part was norming and I thought I did a decent job! Videos would've helped and I was a little nervous but it was fun and honestly cool to realize how life is pretty m

NYC Trek

This past week, I along with 14 other of my peers were given the opportunity to travel to New York. We were able to get first hand experience of life in the city and visit 10 different marketing firms in two days! Huge thank you to Marisa Allen and Eller College of Management for presenting us with this great opportunity. I also wanted to thank Jet.com, Abasi Rosoborough, Sakara Life, VaynerMedia, NBC Universal, Cognito, GAP, HAVAS, Usabilla , and Simplifeye for hosting us and giving us insight to what different careers in marketing look like. The following are pictures, a brief description, and my personal thoughts/experience with the company.                                                                                     Jet.com is an E-Commerce shopping site worldwide that aims to simplify online shopping.

TopHat

Image by Nikodem Nijaki via Wikimedia In class, we started using the website TopHat. I personally have used this platform before, and honestly, I am not a fan. We would use it in one of my old classes to answer questions we had no idea the answer to because the class was very weird and confusing. However, haven't seen it used like we use it now in my Esoc class. Now, I read a passage or two and answer questions that help me reflect on what I just read. This is very useful for me and makes it easier to retain information. I also find this subject much more interesting than the last class I used TopHat in, so I most likely pay more attention as well. One thing we read about was Civil Inattention. This is the "cultural norm whereby strangers who are in close proximity refrain from imposing on each other, staying out of one another's business to respect privacy and personal boundaries." I never knew there was a name for such a thing. I feel as humans, if we choose to
