Homework Oct 10

After I read this article, I found its topic is about the development of digital media compositing and media remix ability with both culture forms and software. The author separates his article into several parts. First, he comes up with a concept called Visual hybrid, which mainly gives readers an idea about moving images and cinematography. Since here, it starts the combinations of media equipment and software. Then, he briefly talks about how the Velvet revolution affects the development and changes the way people deal with media. He uses some examples of different types of media and comes up with the concept named remix ability. Primarily in his article, he talks about the relation between media type’s combinations and compositing methods’ changes. In the final part of the article, the author gives a simple but comprehensive introduction of how compositing used to change films and make different dimensional graphs. He gives his personal points of views about how the Velvet revolution and After Effect software or some other software like this changes the development of media and films in history from past to now. From my personal perspective, I am associated with real life when I read this article. I try to ensure that if the author’s statement about media application is correct. I found that the part I know about media is mostly similar to what the author provides in his article. Media and film does have a huge changes and development through past decades with the development of thousands of media software. These media software like After Effect stimulate the improvement of media and films. In the very past time, we can only see black and white picture and no sound TV programs, but now, we can see 3D TV programs and films with amazing surrounding sound just wearing glasses. Those are all changes and development of media technology. I really believe that media software changes our lives a lot. Like Photoshop which we study right now, this software can move whatever which part in the picture just like you want. And it can change the picture to whatever other types or other situations like you imagine. Moving back to the article, the author uses his own perspective to give us an integral look of how the media software changes the development of films and how the compositing exactly works. It is a professional and interesting article, which makes me want to discover more about media software and see how it would change my life to a more colorful and magical way.
