Media Meditation #3



I wanted to put this video up here for a nice contrast against the other two videos that i have already posted. This is a video that was made by California to get people to come to there because it is such an awesome place. The one thing i found odd is that i was trying to get the one that everyone has seen on T.V that talks about everything that is in California, not just winter sports. When i did found it said that it said it was disabled to be embedded by the owner. This was the same for every version of it i found. So i had to settle for a different version that for the most part showed what i wanted to.
When this happen the first thing that came to mind was ownership. It says on end of the clip that it is part of the state California. Which makes me wonder why would they not want people to be spreading their commercial around? Could it be that they do not want to be associated with someone they do not want to? This can also tag in to the Political Shift. Is California starting to regulate everything that goes out? i could see why they are doing this, who would want bad press.
When you goes in to the other tools they also used the Personal Shift. This video first was aired on tv but then was moved to Youtube. The thing that make me wonder is if they are allowing comments,some are pretty negative, why not allow people to embed the video. Another thing i find interesting is the production technique and the Reality Construction. This is a nice way to show the difference between snowboard media and people who are trying to make money off of the sport. You can see that the person filming the video does not know the right angle's and they miss part of the riders in the shot, which would never happen in a real snowboard video.
