Blog Post 2: Web 2.0 Video

I actually liked the above clip. It starts with a hand writing down stuff about text being linear. As the music starts going text from a computer appears. They start joining and moving around words to create new sentences. It starts going in more detail about how to use “html” and accessing the internet. It showed how to create a blog just like ours.
So, this is why I liked the clip. The melody was an excellent effect to include to it. The way they interpreted the hand at the beginning was very interesting as well. From the video clip, I think the computer is a fascinating fixation and the purpose of the clip is that technology is the new future.Everyone around the world uses a computer and the internet. 73.9% of people in North America use the internet. The clip is saying that we are the web, meaning that the people that go onto the internet and share their ideas are the people who create it. We are the people teaching the machine to do what it does.
The audience of the clip is the people who run across it and watch it. These people stop and look at it because of the title. “The machine is us/ing us.” He called it that because, that’s the purpose statement he is trying to get across to people. He listened to the audience’s feedback and knew he had a good video. His media or medium is an online video. That works great with what is in his clip because it deals with computers and it is on a computer.
The way he arranged the clip is what I think was the most important part of the video. The arrangements are the basic building blocks of writing. They need meet the needs, expectations, hopes, and desires of the audience. If he would have put the text first then the hand and written work, it would have baffled the viewers.
