Reviewing a vlog
Vlogging. This will take me some practice, but the example I have attached here I think shows the value and possibilities for education purposes. Students can historically document an event. This one I found interesting from the 3minuteegg.org production by artists in the Twin Cities. What I found interesting, was the film angles and the sepia tones. This event was filmed in the recent past, yet the combination of the music and visual effects gives it a documentary style that appeals to the emotions and solidifies the historical importance. I think this vlog shows some of the possibilities of taking something from every day life and enhancing it. The audience appeal might be the 20-30's age group? What are they called, the x generation? I forget. It reveals in a visual way, far more powerful than written words, the author/creator's perspective on work and perhaps expatriotism.

Hello Sonja! You found a really neat video! I agree that the angles and coloration of the video affect how the viewer experiences the image. It makes it seem so much more official and historical. Also, the music in the background lends itself to certain emotions and connections. I felt like I was watching a documentary about WWII or something. Although, the images lent themselves to this as well. I'm fairly certain that this was the experience the artist was hoping for. It is definitely impressive that visual and sound effects can change a person's experience with a film. This could also be used to teach about propaganda or bias, since the artist clearly has an agenda and has used available technologies to influence the audience.
