This is my podcast:
This is my first podcast ever! To start off, the assignment was to interview someone in the industry that I am trying to get into. I chose a senior at Ohio University who is in the School of Telecommunications because of his constant involvement in student activities and an internship he did over the summer. While making the podcast, I ran into some problems. The first problem was capturing audio. We chose to record audio in a sound booth because we thought it would sound good, but for some reason the camera we used to record audio messed with the time code of the tape. During capturing, the tape would stop capturing after a few seconds because of these problems. I resolved this problem by using a voice recorder. I used Final Cut Pro to edit the audio because as a video production major that is what I am most used to using. I then exported to GarageBand, a program that I have never really used, and put tracks of sounds and music to make the interview more interesting. While working in GarageBand, I notice that our voices were distorted, this happened because I didn’t know to change the frequency to what CD’s use. Even if I did know to do this before, I may have kept the distortion because I think my voice is kind of girly. To put this podcast on the web our class used Dreamweaver. We went through a bunch of steps that I can’t exactly remember, but it works. Have fun listening!

Everyone's a Journalist
Report now research later has been the mentality of many reporters these days. What has are world come to, a straight money hungry society? No, that can’t be the answer because for all time numerous journalists have tried to make money with cheap reporting. The only difference now is that anyone with Internet access can do this through personal blogs. So, naturally there are going to be more ethical problems, and problems with today’s youth.
Our technology driven society has made it possible for kids, who have little or no journalistic knowledge, able make there own blogs through websites like Facebook and MySpace. Is this wrong or scary? In some ways yes because many children do not understand that they are not untouchable. I was the same way, when I was younger it was chat rooms that were the big deal. While I was in these chat rooms with people from who knows where with what intentions, I felt safe because I had no idea what the world was like. This is the same idea with today’s younger generation in regards to the idea of blogging. Many times these blogging websites have personal pictures and comments that should be kept to one’s self. The reason for this is because a simple picture could potentially demolish one’s reputation. Representing one’s self is critical, especially when anyone can see your life unfold on a single webpage.

Regulating Blogs
Should blogs be regulated is a question that has recently risen in the last few years. There are some reasons why they should have some regulations and reasons why regulations could take away the personal aspects of many blogs. Blogs should be regulated if they break the laws of libel or through podcasts break the law of slander. If these two laws are followed then personal opinions that have truth behind them should not be regulated.
The problem then arises that if a blogger purposely makes false statements on their blog can the Internet Service Provider name who created the blog. What’s the difference if Internet Service Providers are already naming names for illegally downloading? There isn’t, if someone is doing something illegally then they should be questioned, and then if convicted they must deal with the consequences. A problem I have with this is if Internet Service Providers start intruding on Internet users privacy’s that have nothing to do with the law. I can not say I know much about the laws that concern Internet privacy, but there needs to be some line that peeking on someone’s personal computer is illegal.

Adobe's New Creation
Adobe Creative Suite 2 made a huge impact on the video postproduction process. Recently, Adobe released its third version, Adobe Creative Suite 3. This entry is a response to an article I found on http://www.bizcommunity.com/Article/196/13/14070.html. The article I am replying to describes how this suite has most brilliant ideas for applications ever delivered in a single box. One great thing about this new product is that it will be Universal for both Intel-based Macs and PowerPC applications. This new suite is offering six innovative configurations to its past collection. One of these applications is Production Premium and it will have the deepest impact on the video production process. This product is part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 software that will make it easier to distribute abounding mobile video.
