Week 5

The first YouTube video of the ABC world news was really broad like. It was nothing compared to the news today. Almost no color, no music, no sound effects, no transition like slides, etc. The other video clips that include Obama and Oprah contain everything listed above – color, music, sound effects, etc. The differences between these two videos are simple, news seem more realistic with all the graphics nowadays. The old news has no hooks or attention grabbers other than the tone of Peter Jennings’ telling his audience what to know about. Unlike Oprah, she informs the audience with a pleasure, more relaxed tone. Within 18 years, these inventions of technology just keep growing. Bolter and Grusin both mention that “immediacy is supposed to make this computer interface “natural rather than arbitrary,” (67). They also agree that “in order to create a sense of presence, virtual reality should come as close as possible to our daily visual experience. Its graphic space should be continuous and full of objects and should fill the viewer’s field of vision without rupture.” (67). I can’t explain how much this sums it all up, but if you look at it, it’s true. In the Oprah/Obama video, there’s everything in a newsroom that could possibly take someone’s interest. This is the “virtual reality” that comes as colas as possible to daily visual experience. The old news video, showed more of the “natural more than arbitrary. I agree with Bolter and Grusin on the quotes that I chose. The quotes are more likely to explain the differences between the videos.

Remediation through the Ages

The ABC World news broadcast was conducted in a singular more simple style. There was only one person speaking and commenting at a time and the network at that time used text written out in note taking form to illustrate and thoroughly explain to the viewers a step by step explanation on what was happening in their story. The broadcast was strictly script and not open opinion or debate like news today.  Also the news was broadcasted as if on a schedule, one story at a time as in today multiple stories are broadcasted even ones that aren’t mentioned by the news anchor. They talk and debate about one major issue and bring up others to support their arguments that occurred in the past, and in the 90’s there was  no discussion or future prediction or even critically educated opinions. It  was very interesting to notice that Bolter and Grusin had grasped this concept when they formed the article on remediation. In that article they specifically pointed out that the news uses “graphical user interface…” it also illustrates that today, news broadcast on our televisions resemble a multimedia computer application more than it does an ordinary television broadcast that we saw in the ABC Broadcast in the 1990’s.

The differences and evolution of electronic remediation now compared to ten, twenty years ago demonstrate the growth of electro technology and style today. It was mentioned in the article that its “creators of the other electronic remediation seem to want to emphasize the difference rather than erase it.” In which I thought was an interesting concept, it clicked in my mind that we creators in the media world are not trying to change the portrayal of media, but rather build on it, give it a new perspective and call it their own by adding their “flavor” to it.
