They're Here...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

This is my attempt at a Halloween video. It's subtitle is: How AnthroVlog learns to manipulate sound effects.

I decided to take a video challenge: Can I take ordinary acquarium footage and turn it into something very, very different...something scary!

Boo!

This vid poses an interesting issue- how popular media, by altering other senses (in this case auditory) can be used to tweak the perception of the event shown. In other words, how sound strategically placed can make simple aquarium footage into a horror story. Is this a "how to" guide for fox news?

[AnthroVlog]

Yes, this is a very interesting question. It is part of media literacy to be aware that any footage always contains choices that manipulate a "story" in particular directions. One question is, at what point are certain sets of choices unethically misleading?

[AnthroVlog]

Thanks for your message! I use iMovie and there's a package called iLife sound effects. What kinds of editing/sound do you use?

Perhaps to expand on the question: Should it not be simply one of ethics in terms of journalistic integrity but of the viewer as well? What of wider social responsibility? A great example can be found in the publics' view on the Middle East: how many Americans hold a negative view on the Middle East as a whole because of the 'War on Terror'?

hehehe! Classified! LOL!

Stick your head between your legs, and kiss your arse goodbye! You're about to be an experiment!

That, or you're going to get a bad case of the crabs.

HAHAHAHAHa! I amuse myself!

Great vid, mi amiga!

Have a great weekend!
