| andrewe2 | What constitutes editing? | 2 | Friday, 3:24 AM EST by ViralMusicVideo | ||||

So an over site on my part in entering data on the "edited" field of our YouTube stake-out - and Dr. Wesch's subsequent inquiry as to what we consider to constitute editing - has prompted me to post the following. Hopefully this will lead to some kind of fruitful discussion for anyone interested. None of this is intended to alter any data already collected; simply to raise a discussion.
In reviewing my notes on the videos I had watched with the specific intention of identifying what I found to qualify as an edit, I've come across a kind of dilemma regarding some possible sub-categories to be considered as an edit, along with some other tenuous "stuff". The majority of my videos either lacked edits entirely (i.e. continuous user-gen footage), or were illegally uploaded talk shows, dramas, etc. - the edited content of which was NOT GENERATED BY THE USER. I also had instances in which the user had made edits in the 'anything qualifies' sense that seems to have been standard with the class, which I did not factor as significant in my reading of the categorizing of our videos as edits (many, for example, were extremely minute). Some of you may consider that a mis-reading, but if so, I'd encourage you to explain your perspective. As I take it, our use of the label "edited" connotes that the user is aware of and has demonsted the editing process beyond uploading a video and throwing a soundtrack on top of this (e.g. scene transitions, text, or speed alterations). The edit should evidence at least a rudimentary use of editing beyond dropping either video or sound into, let's say, Vegas, and then simply rendering and uploading the work. My point being - as we have currently classified it, edited content can include work that actually lacks any real editing whatsoever on behalf of the user - beyond their superficially having rendered the material in some form of editing software. Thoughts?

the videos your group produces look really professional - do you have advice on the software you use to edit them?

I thought this was interesting and relevant for our research subjects. It covers the beginnings of cognitive science and involvement with the CIA during the Cold War. It discusses the way humans are made up of what we remember and how we perceive our memories, and if scientists could figure out (and they have tried) to control human memories, then they have the power to control their behavior as well. It focuses on the Cold War era and ends with some indirect questions about the future.
The video is made up of 6 parts of 10 minuted each...here is part 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JR5N_AmbpOE Enjoy, Jess

The posted questions bring my thoughts to forest people, hiding quietly as alien safari-tourists pass through, unknowing that they are being watched. Or another image of indian warrior scouts crouching low to avoid being spotted as a wagon train passes by in the distance.
Anonymous allows a choice to remain un-connected and not contactable. Anonymous allows not having to make a promise or live up to a commitment. Anonymous provides a cloak of protection for one with observations, hypothesese, or judgements becaues they do not have to be asked about thse nor do they have to defend their position. So anonymous fits with in the concept of being uninvolved. Being uninvolved can be a tragedy. A truck driver might get pulled from his rig and beaten by a gang if the nearby residents are uninvolved. Pursesnatchers, muggers, theives of all sorts and other maliciously minded persons can perform their anti-social acts with impunity if those nearby are anonymous. Anonymous can protect an individual but it can also mean no protection for others who need contact. |

For all of those who are interested in 2nd life as a topic - this isn't entirely relevant and talks a lot about the creation of 2nd life and kind of generating its own hype, but the Q&A had some decent stuff. Below is the website and then the start times of blurbs that I found interesting and a bit about what that blurb is about.
Philip Rosedale on Second Life http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/the_inspiration_of_second_life.html 19 minutes – avatar of speaker (Rosedale) 21:47 – description of demographics of 2nd life 25 minutes – good blurb about “human experience moving onto the internet” as horrifying and response to it. “being present in a virtual world… and having a good life there is a challenge… we must be better than ourselves… be more tolerant, be smarter, be more adaptable”

In response to the forwarded YouTube video from Dr. Wesch -
Question - did anybody notice the life-sized human hand (mannequin?) in the video? I just found it interesting... Comment - If anybody didn't know what the YouTube poop meant, Urban dictionary had a good definition of YouTube Poop (I didn't really know exactly what that meant). http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=YouTube%20Poop The 6th entry has an interesting bit about language coming into use from "poopers" |

I found www.mobygratis.com to be great for music. It's free music from the electronic artist, Moby. After registering, you can get his instrumentals and b-sides.
His youtube account has a whole playlist of movies and films that have used his music at: http://www.youtube.com/mobygratis

While it may be true that within the academic community that studies of media ecology overlook economic factors, I would submit that there are hundreds of people in my industry — advertising and direct marketing — that consider this on an ongoing basis in the service of selling. Meanwhile, market analysts consider the economic factors of media ecology as they rate investing in Google versus The New York Times Company. Perhaps I misunderstand your use of terminology since this is the academic world. However the business world is certainly looking at how the economics of the media environment are changing due to rapidly shifting media usage. Academic studies of media ecology may overlook political implications but I am certain that political research firms have written a lot about this. Of course, it would be proprietary information, something there is less and less of in the new digital world. Which makes it all the more valuable.

-One thing we've failed to pay attention to is online gaming sites. People log in a massive amount of time on these sites at both school and work. These are purely for entertainment purposes and are often accessed during traditionally productive time periods. Moreover, the medium they are transmitted through often varies from game-to-game-- some allow for a greater degree of socializing than others (e.g. Xbox live, yahoogames, etc.). An enormous amount of socializing occurs on these, and they are becoming more prominent all of the time (particularly xbox live) and could very well represent one of the most obvious forebearers of internet-computer-tv integration-- a interestingly hybridized revolution in medium.
-If the medium is the message we need to face the fact that the internet is now an ever-changing, ever-evolving and ever-growing amalgamation of a wide variety of mediums. As such, we should certainly not focus on it as being a single medium or, perhaps instead, state that our purpose is to analyze a particular medium within the internet. -Furthermore, the internet allows users to select which medium they wish to access. This means that the internet mediums that are most-accessed may actually reflect the various desires of users to a greater degree than any previous mediums. This in turn could mean that the message of the medium is, to a previously unprecedented degree, becoming the message of the masses. However we must be cautious; until nearly all users are given the ability to customize and even create mediums that completely conform to their own desires, this message continues to be structured (by structured structures predisposed to act as structuring structures...? My apologies for mangling this quote.)

I think once the current God i.e. Google starts to interfere or perhaps I should say that once their interference becomes noticeable, another God will emerge parallel to Google, with a new universe parallel to the Google universe (Google, Gmail, Youtube, Google-Earth ...) and this basically is in contrast to some real world beliefs that there is only one God ...

To me, editable text seems like one of the critical advantages that the Internet has over TV. Not everyone can participate in discussion via video and images (yet); text is simple and instant. While this article makes a valid point that graphics may get beefed-up on the net in the coming years (possibly with certain more corporate sites taking advantage of this feature), I doubt the element of text chat will ever be entirely eliminated.

I think we need to add a new section about what topics are most popular in each section to really describe them. For instance Science and Technology: space stuff, video games, new gadgets, Tech guru talks
