Methods of Montage RESPONSE


I saw this reading as very informative as it demonstrated and explained different sorts of montage. I've been working on montage before, such as a demo reel for Photoshop or my take on the recent Camera Exercise we did, but I never knew that there were so many details involved.

Reading and re-reading this piece, I had a hard time figuring out the full scope of this one, but it seemed like it was telling not only the type of work involved in making montage, but also it's compared to the views of other forms of montage and their respective appeals.

Overall, this story has the message to me that montage could end up asking for a certain rhythm to the pieces, shots, and stills that are involved to entice the reader, such as making a story, following a pattern, or showing off a gallery of sorts.

On a lot of sites, if you got an account, you can mess up with copyright or other things. Whether it's the government making sure you're following the laws or if it's some salesman website trying to scam someone, the point is that the internet is being watched and with things like copyright on the list, they're making sure you f...

Response to Hito Steryl: Is the Internet Dead?-Ricardo Morales

Hito Steryl brings up an interesting argument that the internet is not what it used to be when it was first introduced. Back in the 90's the internet was meant to facilitate communication around the world and to have easier access to information. While that part is still true today, the part that's dead is the privacy part. In 2013, we learned that the U.S government could listen to what you are saying over the phone. This raised a lot of speculation as to what extent the government watches us. We have probably been watched by the government since the Internet was introduced in the 90's, however we were not aware of it. The moment we discovered we don't have as much privacy the Internet died.

Hito Steryl - Is the Internet Dead?

Hito Steryl proposes and interesting idea that helps us see how far the internet has come. Steryl makes his readers grasp the reality of the internet. What once started as a good thing full of possibility has transform into something that can be very dark and scary. “Although not everyone uses the internet, the internet has reached unimaginable places” it has transforming reality into something that is not true a false reality, and we depend so much on this. We are very dependent on the internet, risking our privacy our safety giving it the power to shape our beliefs and ideas as well as our perception of reality. With all his interesting ideas Hito Steryl makes us realize how alive the internet is maybe even more alive than we are. The bad of our world uses the internet to control us more than we control it.
