RiP Film Review

I believe the filmaker made this film because he wanted to make a point about what is going on in the music industry. His intention wasto get accross to poeple, the fact that people can make art using other artwork from the past. Girltalk believes that they are creating art by making mash-ups. I agree with this because it's only bits and pieces of songs.
 
I believe that it is okay to be bias. The film made the other side of the argument seem less powerful because people are still downloading music illeagally. I believe that they were somewhat successful interviewing the other side.

My thoughts on copyright are that copyright laws are good to have but not all the time. Not everything availiable online should be availiable for us to alter. I don't believe that it is right to download parts of a movie to use in my own movie. The only way that I would be okay with someone taking my artwork, altering it and calling it their own is if they asked me first.

I thought the film was great. The argument was constructed well. I did enjoy watching the film because it was interesting.

Citizen Kane was a fairly good movie. The mystery aspect of the film was great. The acting of all the characters was great. The story itself was great. I really enjoyed the mystery involved in the flim.

The mystery in the film was very great. I wondered throughout the whole movie what the word "Rosebud" meant. It really had me baffled. When I finally found out the answer at the end of the film, I was surprised.
The ending was really great. I would have never thought that Kane was talking about a sled. I also thought the acting of all the characters was great.

The acting of all the characters was really great. The characters really made the story make sense. They knew how to act in each scene as far as mood and tone of voice. It helped me understand the story. The acting was fantastic. The story itself was great too.

The story itself was very great. The story was easy to follow and understand. The story was full of mystery and a little suspense. The story was entertaining. The whole movie itself was great.

Citizen Kane was a very good movie. The mystery involved in the film was great. All of the characters acting was great. The story itself was fantastic. I will definatley watch this movie again in the future.

Music video analysis

"It's Complicated" by Avril Lavigne.
It has all the people as teenagers hanging out at the skate park and the mall.
The characters are running around the mall and acting crazy.
They have the teens visiting places that a teen would usually be at.
This video would appeal to teens because the people in the video are teens themselves and are acting like teens.
This is a good music video because it really shows the reality of what teens are like.

Website address for the video is:

I belive that media is very important in my life. I rely on the media for news and weathjer forecasts. Then I know what is going on in the world. I also rely on the media for entertainment. Example: Movies,computers and video games.
The types of media that are most important to me are news, computers, and movies. Movies are important to me for entertainment purposes. The news is important because it tells me what's going on in the world. Computers are important to me because I am able to e-mail people and talk to them without having to use a phone.
My thoughts on modern popular culture are that it has changed a lot over the past few years. I like the new technology that helps us to communicate because a lot of them are great. I dislike heavy metal music. I use media for entertainment, information and school.
