Assignment Summary

In conclusion to my blog, I looked up some movies (Taken and Shinjuku Incident) that I enjoyed and reviewed them, and reviewed the Britney Spears concert and finally reviewing the Jackie Chan Mountain Dew commercial. Also, in doing this project I learned how to better review any source of media that I choose and if it the media was good or not. I enjoyed doing this project and creating this blog was a lot of fun for me to do. I also had a fun time taking this course and I learned a wide variety of the electronic industry that I either didn't know or was surprised about.

Fourth Media Review

I saw a Mountain Dew commerical that featured Jackie Chan. The commerical length ran for thirty seconds and that it was a fast moving commercial. The short commercial was about Jackie running from villains and that he gets trapped in an alley. He then see's his friends through a wall and a Mountain Dew machine appears and then the machines shoots out a mountain dew and hits the villain. The commercial featured a cool effect of Jackie seeing his friends through a wall. In conclusion, I thought this commerical was neat and humorous.

Third Media Review

In 2001, I went to see Brittney Spears at the MCI center (now called the Verizon center) located in Washington D.C. The concert was cool and the music was loud. There was a lot of dancing and the routines were choreographed well. The lighting was done in a fast fashion as their was nonstop dancing from beginning to the end. In conclusion, The concert was very enjoyable and I had a great time seeing this event.

Second Media Review

The movie "Shinjuku Incident" is about an immigrant that travels from the outskirt's of China to Shinjuku, Hong Kong illegally. The Movie stars Jackie Chan as Steelhand, who meets his friends and family and they start a gang to fight Yakuzzas. The film is more realistic and Jackie Chan plays a serious role that features no comedy what so ever and he doesn't use any Martial Arts either. The film is very graphic and that the mainland of China actually bannded this movie due to the violence. In conclusion, this is a movie that I would recommend people to see Jackie Chan's new outlook on Drama.

First Media Review

The first movie that I want to review is Taken.  The movie "Taken" is a non-stop thrill ride about a character named Bryan Mills played by Liam Nesson.  The story centers around a father's quest to find his daughter in Paris where she got captured by drug traffickers.  Liam Nesson did a really good job as the main character as well as the rest of the cast.  The film is very suspenseful and there is never a dull moment.  The action sequences are really good and they are edited very well for a PG-13 movie.  The music score for this movie is moving and is really good.  In my opinion, Taken is a very well done film and I think many people that watch this will not be disappointed.  

My Introduction

Hello, My name is Michael Daugherty and welcome to my blog.  I have been studying T.V. Production for about 4 years and I enjoy it.  What I want to get out of taking Introduction to Electronic Media is learn everything I can and over my time in this class, I will find my strongpoint in some sort of media.  Also, I have been working at the Frederick County Government for 2 years and it's been a great learning experience for me.  Before working at the Government, I was taking T.V. productions courses at the Career and Tech Center for about 2 years and I learned lots about this.  During my senior year, my instructor from CTC got me into an internship for the government and in 6 months, I became a part time employee.  

My educational goals is to get my AA degree from FCC and then go to a great tech school.  What I like to do in my spare time is go to the movies, play guitar, Bowling, Hockey, Football, and to create movies.  What I don't like is loud noises.  Some of the movies I like are Taken, Unknown, Watchmen, The Peacemakers, Out of Sight, Anchorman - The Legend of Ron Burgundy, Stepbrothers and Observe and Report.  In conclusion to my first post, I hope everyone that visits my blog enjoys it and that I will add some followers on to my blog in the days to come.
