Screening Room

This is a clever idea, the movie is very different from anything you would expect it to be when it first starts. However it is kinda catchy and you just want to continue watching to find out what happens to the man with the mustache. All in all I thought this was a clever movie idea, even though it is something probably not very many people would be interested in. I think that YouTube's screening room is very helpful to those who want to write movies but don't have the connections it takes to get their movies to the big screen. Who knows this could be where our next big money movies come from. It is right from the views point.

WB tour

This tour was very different from the others. I liked the photo idea of a time line through history. Although the down side to that was you really didn't get to see as much of the studio as I would have liked. The Ellen video was actually pretty funny too and I did laugh. WB used to be my favorite thing, anytime that I went to the Mall of America that was one of the first stores I had to go to so for me this tour brought back many childhood memories and that I particularly enjoyed.

Weather Channel Tour

The weather channel studio was very interesting. I did like it a lot, however I think that the Times is still better. I noticed that in this tour they talked about all the environmental things that they have done with their construction, however I feel like they really aren't helping all that much. I mean think of all the electricity and cables they have running through the building. To me thats not very environmental unless they have a wind farm outside that they didn't talk about. Don't get me wrong all the HD effects and capacity look really nice but I'm not really sold on if it's worth it.

New York Times Tour

While watching the tour I was very interested in how much detail there is underneath the true exterior. I personally love to hear why something was built the way it was or what the designer had in mind for the buildings future. My favorite part of the tour would have to be the garden inside on the main level. I think that that itself would really be a breathe of fresh air to the workers of the Times. I know that the narrator said the building had an old time feel of the exterior but to me it looked very modern and clean. I also thought that the cafeteria area was very unique in that it was open for two levels but only had one level of sitting. All in all it was a very interesting tour and I like that I have now learned more info about another building in New York.

Recording Studio

When looking through all of the videos of recording studios the one thing that stuck out the most to me was how they gave the lobby and lounge areas an at home feel. I think that that would be very helpful to someone who was looking to record so that they don't become nervous or anxious when they are trying to focus on producing top of the line music. I know that for me the at home feel really calms my nerves.

State of Media

I think that this websites data was pretty close to what I expected, more news during daytime hours less at night for television, more global news for the internet, cell phone use is increasing. These were all things that seem normal to me. The only surprise that I saw was how little ipods are being used I assumed that they were still a growing market.

Ethics

I think that ethics are a very touchy subject and it is a subject that many care very strong opinions about. I found the sections about conflict of interests and privacy to be the most interesting. These two topics seem to be the most talked about in my eyes. I don't know how many times in school, work, even in families ethics are discussed and privacy or conflicts arise. No matter where you look everyone will have their own opinion, it just means you have to be respectful of others and be considerate of what they want.
