blog # 10, spoof adds
The product we are using for the spoof add is the Apple iphone. The general premise of the add is that the iphone has an "app" for everything. In our add we intend to show that anything you want to do or have done is possible if you have an iphone. For our commercial we will need to film in a classroom setting, in an empty hallway, at the entrance of the school and at the entrance of a house, and lastly in the classroom again. The props we need are an iphone, one extra actor, and a breakfast sandwich. The slogan/motto/tag line that will appear in our add is "there's an app for that." This will be the finest spoof add ever produced by an idci group because our product is an extremely popular product right now and it is very current.

This video is related to media because I think it shows that some people will do anything to be popular on the internet. Many people will even embarrass themselves so people will watch their videos. This video is a perfect example of that happening because this girl deffinitly embarrassed herself in making this video.

Blog 8..Viral videos
In this top 100 viral videos I recognized about 20 videos. I think my favorite viral video from this video was either "Charlie bit my finger" or "David goes to the dentist". I have seen both of these videos many times and I still love watching them! They never get old and I think that is why they are some of the most watched videos on youtube.

Our Constructed World.
1. Since high school I have been eating fast food a lot more often because of the cafeteria and McDonald being so close. I think i probably eat fast food once or twice a week.
2. I try not to go shopping very often because when I do I end up spending a lot of money. I would say I visit shopping malls once every 2 months.
3. I think I watch around 10 hours of TV per week. I usually don't watch TV during the days or after school, just mostly at night.
4. I don't spend any of my time playing video games.
5. I usually spend about 7 hours on the computer per week give or take a few hours depending on the week.
6. I don't know too much about environmental issues but the issues that I make an effort to change are littering, power use and the amount of running water I use. I always try to pick up after myself and turn off lights when I leave rooms. I also try to make sure I never leave the water running for to long.
7. Environmental issues hardly ever influence my decision to buys things. The thought doesn't really cross my mind when I am buying things because usually the things I buy don't effect the environment very much.
8. I think my life is largely constructed. Especially during times when I have a lot of spare time to do things like watch TV or go on the computer.

The Truman Show
I have mixed feelings about the movie The Truman Show. I have seen this movie a few times before we watched it in class and I like it. When we watched it in class i enjoyed watching it as well because I never thought about it besides it just being a good movie. Once I thought about Truman and what it would be like to be the only one not knowing that you were the star of a reality show I started to think about it differently. I still like the movie but when I watch it I am focused more on the product placement and other things that are in the movie that we have talked about in class.
I don't think anything like this will ever really happen because I think to many people would find it cruel and not allow a baby to be adopted by a company. If anything like this were ever to be created I can't see myself watching it because I would feel very badly for the person who is not aware that their life is being recorded for the whole world to see. Also I think it would be pretty boring because they wouldn't be doing anything exciting all the time.

codes/conventions
Now that I know about the codes and conventions that appear in many movies I notice them in everything I watch. I am always seeing the same things over and over in movies and TV shows.
For example the other day i watched "The Italian Job" and instead of a car chase there was a boat chase and there was a "fruit boat" instead of a "fruit cart" that got crashed into. I think the directer of this movie put this in just to show people that there has to be a fruit cart of some form that gets crashed into during a chase scene.
