What makes news?

JODI ARIAS she has been making headlines for months now about the murder she has committed to her Mormon boyfriend Travis Alexander. while looking into the media and what they have to say about Jodi and the trial i have stumbled upon to my extreme surprise a support website and these are some of the examples of why it is bias.

Bias by Headline
the first source that i discovered was probably the most bias of all of them it was to my shocking surprise a  support site for Jodi arias. some of the headlines come as followed the slogan of the site seems to be " we are team Jodi and we will be victorious" and " a detail reply to DR. drew's BS question"

Bias by Word Choice and Tone 

 the person that created this site often posts news broadcaster videos with a headline the news station puts on it and spins the words around to try to air them in a positive light or decrease the seriousness of the situation. 

Bias by Captions and Camera angles
 The creator of this site only uses positive pictures of Jodi where she is smiling or shot in a bright light. most of the pictures used are ones outside of the court room to promote a somewhat positive image. 

Bias by Labeling (names, titles) 
On this site they tend to use very positive words and phrases such as " good person" "support" "inocents"
"wrongly accuses"

isu processes

For my ISU i was originally going to do my add campaign on my own i was trying to figure out a way that i could promote ASE1 and when in discussion of brain storming with another student Neela Imani we both came up with a really good idea, that was to remix a well known song and re write lyrics that apply to ASE1 and promote ASE as a school that others would want to attend while still providing information that people may want to know about.

We started off our first day of working together by researching possible songs that we could use for our media campaign. we came up with 3 songs but the one that really stuck out for me and Neela was "started from the bottom" by Drake. We chose this song because me and Neela both felt that it fit with our lives and how we came to ASE1 and why. we started to brainstorm lyrics of words that would rhythm and fit in for how we wanted to paint our picture off ASE1.

Once we had our lyrics down we came up with a story board for how we wanted to film and shoot our music video for ASE1. We also had to record us rapping the lyrics into a recorder which we would edit together latter with the video. We went over things a few times before we actually went to shoot,the shooting process took approximately 2 days total.  We used a tripod for most of our shooting and for the other scenes inside the school we used a dolly shot to create the appearance of us walking towards who ever is watching the video  When we were shooting we wanted to get the point across that Cedarbrae the school me and Neela both came from was our "bottom" and transcending  to ASE was how we had arrived. we also were trying to spoof the original rap video and make a parody or sorts.

After the shooting process was complete we  had to embark on the editing this process didn't quite go as smooth as we had hoped for. it was very difficult to match up the timing of our video with the recording and this process took far long then we had anticipated.Once we had it as close as we could get it timing wise there was the problem that some of our recordings were more quite then others so we had to amplify them but when doing so we realized this decreased the clearness of the sound.

Presenting to the class went smoothly i do wish there was somethings that we could have changed but overall i am really proud of our video that we created together.

protest song

the social injustice's that are addressed in this song are consumerism and how much clothes effect our life as a social status object. the artist of this song is Macklamore (Ben Haggerty) and Ryan Lewis. They are connected to this movement because after this song became a Number one hit around the world sales at thrift stores shot up dramatically, you could argue that now people are just consumers all the same but i think the message of this song still dramatically comes across pointing out things such as why would you spend 50$ on a t-shirt that 6 other people could be wearing at a party or club you go to and the ignorance behind that. i really do enjoy this song i like the message that it sends to people and it is extremely catchy. if i were to write a protest song of my own it would probably be in the genre of acoustic music
