What reasons do we have to call Buffalo Bill the " Original world Celebrity"?
Buffalo Bill created the vision of Hollywood and celebrity way before it was all glitz and glamour. Buffalo bill was talented and took chances and believed great fully in what he wished and desired to fulfill in order for him to succeed. He didn't believe in negativity. He always had a positive stride in him, which many of today's celebrities lack because of constant harassment by the media. His brought out all his ideas, even if most of time it didn't always turn out the way it was supposed to be. He took risks and knew if it didn't succeed, he would still be headstrong and continue and never give up. This is why many people admired and adored him. He put all his dedication into what he was most passionate about and never gave up. He was well rounded and organized and was ambit ionised. It wasn't about the popularity that he contained. It was about having determination. That is what made him the "The original World Celebrity."
How could Buffalo Bill have benifited from the new media? Who would have been his facebook friends?
Buffalo Bill would have greatly benifited from the new media. There are so many ways to get something across in today'c culture and society. Their is the news, television programs such as tv shows, magazines, newspapers, adverstisments, the internet, Facebook, Twitter, telephones and much more.With theses newly renown sources, it would have been way easier for him to get his message across for his wild west shows. If Buffalo Bill had Facebook, which is a main source that everyone uses to stay in contact, he would have probally have had Ned Buline, Texas Jock, His wife Lousi, Dock Carters, Nate Soulsburry, John Bork and Sitting Bowl

Video game culture
Where do you place yourself in terms of the video game culture?
Video games are every where you go in the society that we live in today. It is what people do to keep pass time and go into an alternate universe. I myself , have played many video games before, but do not have the tendancy to play video games all the time or keep track of what is hot and what is new. I do have and x-box 360 and a WII , but i only play on it when people are over for entertainment purposes. For example, the video games i play or are familiar with are interactive ones such as Guitar Hero, Rock Band and racing games, but i dont play with them all the time.
What do you think of video games and video games culture?
Video games have revolutionized the way we look at things and has created a whole different universe that we are not used to, but combines it with a persons imagination and plays out what happens the way they want it to be. It not only established a whole culture, but a more indept look into the world of 3D animation and brought it to new hights that it was ever before. Because of the new technogly and the developpement of computer softwear, they are capable of turing something that is a line flat, to something that is more realistic and can play out how the player wants it to be or turn out. It gives the player an oppertunity to put their shoes in an other characters and have them live that life and make it how they want it to turn out to be. Videos games have also gone Hollywood, with many of them every year turning to the silver-screen. This showing a realistic feeling to a person alternate universe having their own avatar come to life on the big screen. No-doubt that the video game culture will take over the world.
What do you think the impact on the video game will be on the future culture?
Video games have revolutionized tremendiously in the past decades. With the improving of our technology, it is with no doubt that the video game culture will take over the world. Tecnology has risen to new hights in the past years and with it capablity to withtain certain standards, video games have become more standard and interactive and given a more indept look for players to actual put their feet in those of their avatars. And because of this technology, Hollywood had also dipped their feet into it. More and more video games are coming to life on the big screen. This is giving people an idea what it would be like to live in a surronding that is a fictional univers. Everything will become more interactive.

Web site Review
His Golden Eyes
His Golden Eyes is a website based for fans were the can get update information on everything Twilight. The reason i decided to choose this website is because i can get up to date information on any Twilight news such as relase dates for the movies, information on what the actors are up to, promtions on the books and DVD's, Photoshoots and more. What i like about it is that it is Paparazzi free. That means that there are no photos of the actors personal life and outings. It just shows you them attending premiers, festivals, promotions ans award shows. You don't need to find out about the personal life.The website is really easy to access. Apon entering it, it appears a blog were new news is posted up daily. If you miss an update, then you can go to previous pages to view post that have been posted up before. If you want to see videos , photos or anything else related to it, they each have there own separate pages which makes it easier for the person to view. For example if the viewer wants to see a collection of photos from a photo shoot, than they can access it by opening up a file that takes them directly to where all the photos are. You can also comment on the post and videos that are put up. What is good about it is that if you want to see a similar post but on a different website, than you can access it right away a it brings you directly to it. As for colors and background, it mostly relates to the scenerio and feelings of the books. Mostly in the midnight blacks and browns to represent the feeling of the books and movies. They also put pictures and mash them together.

Ebay
Ebay is a website were you can look for new or used things and bid on them. The reason i chose this website was because it really confuses me a lot. I find that there are too many things going on and i don't know where to start, especially if i am looking for something specific. I don't get the point of biding for something when you can just buy it. When apon entering the website, you need to type in the object you are looking for, for example an Ipod Touch. Once searched , it shows you a couple of pictures of the ones you can buy, but the remainder of them you need to bid for. but still shows you its price. It appearence is very dull and boring, not really interesting for someone one who is looking forward to getting something out of this website. The colors are basically white and nothing else. Fonts are way to small and dull as well. Pop -ups on top of the website are boring as well, nothing having to do with the website at all.

Slumdog Millionaire Questions
What is the impact of "Foreign Film" on you the viewer?
The impact of a type of film such as a foreign film can have different effects on people. As a viewer, i find that foreign films not only educate us on what is really out, but set out real life situations that people all over the world have to deal with everyday. They have a different vibe to them that the hollywood films don't have. There is no imaginative story or fantasy that hollywood stirs up, they are usually set in real places were war might be going on and not a fictional set that is set in a hollywood studio. They make you realise that even though it might be a film, things like this are still going on out there in the world. The people are real too. They are not dressed up in costumes and have loads of make-up that make them unreconizable.
What differences do you see between the "foreign film and a typical hollywood movie.
First off, in a typical hollywood film, most of the films are based on fictional stories that might not happen in real life and are most probally based on best selling novels or comic books to give a few. The hire executive producers, writers and well-known directors to film the movie. They get big actors and actresses to play the parts in the movies and sometimes have to dress up in costumes and make-up that make them unreconizable. Most movies are also filmed in studios instead of real locations. They also get a lot of promotion
In a foreign film, the fantasy life that the hollywood films indure are not the same. The stories are sometimes real, the people the choose for actors and actresses are usually people they take off streets, The locations are real and the surrondings are real too. the events that may happen while filming are real as well.
In hollywood films, the music and filiming techinques are different, They have a score and different camera angles, shots and lighting.
In a foreign film, the music is usually the type of music taht is set in the same surrondings for example Indian music. The camera shots and angles are usually continuouse and usually hand-held

Intergrated project ideas
Intergrated project ideas
i was having little bit of a hard time figuring out what to do for my intergrated project. im not sure if their any good, but here are two ideas i came up with:
1:design a pair of shoes by wrapping them with a crazy detail in vinyl by intergrating with art( sending a message that art can be fun and not boring)
2: make a spoof/trailer of a book i read (not sure which one yet) and intergrate it with english ( sending a message that reading is fun)
i might change my ideas around and put more detail into them, but this what i think i might do. i just have to think of doing one :)
