My critical question was “ given the
modern technology what it does mean to be social?” I would like to address more
information and how the use technology has damaged physically and emotionally
the people.
I think my purpose is more to aware
people of everything that it is going on with the
use of the technology. To show people the bad effect of over using the technology remember our self of our nature
of communication. I hope the people will think more about using this technology
property. Showing the physical damage of the
use of technology and the most important one the emotional. I think people are
losing feeling and affection to each other. Therefore, I want to remind my audience
the importance of our nature affection living in the modern society. My audience
will be adults of 18 years ~ 25 years old. I would define them more as a UNL
student or student in general. It can be
all races, religion, gender and classes. All they have in common is the use the
technology. I think it fit perfect because this
generation is the one who most uses technology now.
I am
thinking in making an article and a video. The genre will be more like to convince
and persuade people. An article with specific numbers and show how critical is
the situation. Using the video I will show some daily situation and reinforce
the idea. The article will be more like just showing to people how unrealistic
the problem that has become and most of the people do not notice it. The video
will show how realistic it is the problem, using daily situations and real
people. The modes that I am going to use are pictures, text, video, music, and
dialogue. I hope I can find people to help me with the video. I do not know if
we can pull videos from other videos to help my video. In addition, I think the
conventions in my project will be smartphones and social networking. I am not
sure if I understood the meaning of convention, but I think is more the items I
will be using to show my ideas. I going to use the video “look up” as my text
model (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7dLU6fk9QY)
it shows almost exactly of what I want to tell to my audience.
Paulo, It sounds like you have a pretty clear idea of what you want to do, which is great! I'm glad you have a strong sense of purpose. I think the biggest thing now is that you get a better understanding of exactly what kinds of genres you're doing and what texts you'll model them after.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of article will you write? A news article? An opinion piece? where would this article hypothetically get published so that your audience of college age people would read it and see it? You'll want to find a specific article or two that y ou want to model yours after.
The Look Up video is a good text to model, but I REALLY ENCOURAGE you to pick a model that is NOT about your topic. when you pick a model that is already about the thing you're talking about and making the same argument you are making, it's really hard to imagine doing anything different. You might just end up copying what they are already doing. Can you find some other kind of youtube video that is making an argument about something totally different but that you think is cool and that you could use as your model.
