This video gives you several examples of what types of remixes are there in the media. This video contains remixes of a guy dancing to songs, a man who lip syncs to a song, a scene from the movie, “Back to the Future,” with a different soundtrack then the movies own soundtrack, and many more types of remixes. However, I was surprised at the end of this video the makers of this video stated that, “These videos all made unauthorized use of copyrighted material.” Also at the end of this video it is said that the video was made by people from the American University in the Center for Social Media. I think copyright laws are laws where you cannot take footage from a show or movie without the people who made the movie’s permission. I thought that this video was really good exampling how each remix is different.

Since the last post I put out about my 30 day challenge I have been watching more sitcom shows and started watching Sci-Fi television shows.  One of the things about watching the pilot episode for a Sci-Fi series is that the pilot episode is over one hour long, and you need to take time out of your day to work on it.  However, even though these episodes are long they are really fantastic episodes.  Also since this last update post I think I have gotten better at critiquing the shows, because I talk about the show’s mise-en-scene, cinematography, and the screenwriting.

Storing and Analyzing Your Data in Google’s Cloud.  This site talks about how Google has used your data by making your data safe, fast, replicates and backup your data, and Google does all the maintenance work for you.  I found this website on Google search for, “what kind of data google keeps on its users.”  This website was published on the Google Cloud Platform.

Information We Receive and How it is Used.  This site talks about what kind of data Facebook receives from you when you sign up for an account on Facebook, but when you sign up on Facebook, Facebook looks at the stuff you search on Google puts ads on your computer that you find annoying.  I found this website by searching on Google for, “what kind of data does facebook keep on its users.”  This website was published on Facebook.

Frequently Asked Questions.  This site mostly talks about all of the most asked questions Twitter gets from their users, and one of those questions is, “What kind of data does the Twitter Platform capture?”  I found this site by searching on Google for, what kind of data does twitter keep on its users.”  This website was published by Twitter Developers.

At the beginning of my challenge I was having a little trouble finding a way to upload my video critiques of the shows I watched onto the internet. However, I was able to use Movie Maker to record myself and do some fun editing on my video critiques. At first I thought that I was not doing a good job critiquing the shows, but I believe I am getting better at critiquing the shows I have been watching.

Data Visualization is the study of visual representation of data, meaning “information that has been abstracted in some schematic form, including attributes or variables for the units of information.” The main goal of data visualization is to communicate information clearly and effectively through graphical means. To convey ideas effectively, both aesthetic form and functionality need to go hand in hand, providing insights into a rather sparse and complex data set by communicating its key-aspects in a more intuitive way.

Data visualization is the presentation of data in a pictorial or graphical format. It is communicated by collecting and analyzing data. Decision makers at all levels welcome data visualization software that enables them to see analytical results presented visually, find relevance among the millions of variables, communicate concepts and hypotheses to others, and even predict the future.

Infographics are graphic visual representations of information, data or knowledge. These graphics present complex information quickly and clearly, such as in signs, maps, journalism, technical writing, and education. Today information graphics surround us in the media, in published works both pedestrian and scientific, in road sign and manuals. In newspapers, infographics are commonly used to show the weather, as well as maps and site plans for newsworthy events, and graphs for statistical data.
