Story 1: “Plus-size model Ashley Graham brings her
#iamsizesexy body to New York catwalks”
In this article all
media components were used video/text/interactivity was used.
The article it self was eye catching because in
NYC fashion week all you see are thin models, you never hear about curvy
models. Ashley Graham shows courage in being a plus size model and encourages
models that you can be a size 16 and still be sexy. Then there is a video of
her being interviewed and her experience doing a catwalk on a fashion week
stage. The reporter is very enthusiastic and the model’s excitement is genuine.
The image that was posted was a screen shot of her instagram and her caption
say’s “History was made! Curves took over the runway at #NYFW. Thank you to
everyone who made this possible! And thank you to all the delicious curves that
strutted their stuff and who showed the world what #iamsizesexy means!”
this made me smile because its not every day that the media shows plus size
models and their work. There is no audio without video but I don’t think this
particular post would need that. I wouldn’t change anything but I would have
added more text to have more information about the whole experience.
Story 2: “Trump to Bush I
Could Have Owned You if I Wanted!”
In this story there are two videos, some texts
and no audio with out video.
This caught my attention because I have heard
about this election with trump and I don’t feel like he is fit to be president
but that’s just my opinion for numerous reasons. The strengths of these two
videos is Trump going back and forth with Jeb Bush and Carly Fiorina, Trump
believes that he could have owned Bush, Bush had claimed that Trump has offered
him money to support gambling in Florida but trump states that it was a lie.
Trump then tries to defend himself in the first video, the two go back and
forth and I found it amusing in one part because Bush kept interrupting Trump
and Trump says “Excuse me!” and the crowed starts laughing. It was effective
because it shows you the way he gets defensive with these accusations. The next video showed Trump and Carly Fiorina
face to face because of the comment Trump made about Carly’s face being an
insult to woman. He then says that her face is very pretty meanwhile he stated
previously that her face was an insult, the crowed was confused. Trump says one
thing and then does the other in my opinion.
What I would change about this article was the fact that there was
barley any text, they could had covered more and the videos could have been
longer, could have been a must see.
Story
3: “Apple News Is Better Than Newsstand, But That's Not Saying Much”
This article uses text and audio video. This
article was interesting because the evolution of technology is incredible. Apple
has evolved into the biggest thing out making new stands irrelevant. Most people read their news on their phones
of their tablets or any type of device, the traditional way seems like its
being lost as the years go by. The strengths of this article is the text and
video apples apps and ios 9 is making everything easier as they state in the
article and the video was effective because it shows you just what there
talking about, even showing images. I completely agree about the new technology
making the old way of reading the news obsolete soon.
Great job but I did want you to label this post as "ASSIGNMENT #1" - see Blackboard for your grade.
