Internet Safety

Internet safety is a big deal to me because I know there are a lot of creepy people out there. It also does not take much technology or research to figure out where someone is when they are on the internet. The safety games that were provided were good for young children. I would not call them games though because it is mostly just asks questions. I think if there was something a little more interactive then the kids would play them more. But, it does provide all the information children need to know about internet safety.

Censoring

There are a lot of things that a person can say that would upset someone. What many stations struggle with is not knowing what will upset who. In my opinion I do not think everything needs to be censored like they are making it. The technology is out there so parents can block certain channels or sites from their kids if they are worried about it. I think it is up to the parents choice what should be censored from their kid and what shouldn't. When I was in junior high I had to get papers signed saying that it was okay for me to watch a PG13 movie. Schools take precaution to not expose children to bad things, so I think the government should trust the parents and the school district that people will not expose kids to things their parents do not approve of.

Green Screen

We all know that technology is coming a long way and can only go further. The green screen that is used in a ton of movies can do some amazing things. You can make it seem as if so many things are actually happening that are not. When the video is taken it is put into an editing software with chroma key. The software will take out everything green and replace it with what you want to place there. You can switch out the green for a different color, you just have to make sure that color is nowhere else in the scene.

The Great Train Robbery Review

I never thought I was the type of person to watch a black and white film with just music and no talking. But, The Great Train Robbery actually held my attention. Maybe it held my attention longer because it was just a 10min film and not a hour film. When the guy was fighting the man with the shovel on the train, I could tell when they switched it to a dummy so that could have been a little better constructed. Also, the gun scene at the end when they were playing with the money was not my favorite. I did not like watching that scene because they were shooting at each other with horses between them. Maybe I did not like it because I am an animal person, but still it was a little sad to watch. I thought the end had a really good twist to it, I completely thought they were different people than who they turned out to be. So, not too bad of a black and white film.
