So like, why did I take this class?

Wasssssuppp! 

:)

My name is Fabian Fernandez, and although these blog posts are manditory for my RTF 305 class, I made a promise to myself that I will enjoy writing these blogs as much as possible!

So exactly why am I taking this RTF 305 class?

Recently, I discovered that one of my favorite things in life to do in my leisure time is to create fun works of art technologically for an audience to enjoy. I've had this passion ever since my high school classes would assign projects that require making music videos. Ever since those days, my favorite thing to do is shoot videos with my friends and edit the videos for hours with my basic Windows Movie Maker. YouTube also was something that I was engaged in throughout my summers. Watching vlogs on the web was something I did pretty frequently. The best part of this movie-making process is watching the finished product after it has been published. I love looking at something that I can be totally proud of and want to show off to my friends.

So I guess this is why I truly am taking RTF 305. I decided to major in Radio/Television/Film here at UT. RTF 305 just happened to be in my FIG "The Good, The Bad, and the Comm" and so I decided that since every RTF Major has to get RTF 305 outta the way sooner or later, I might as well do it now. Hopefully I will come to love the class that is Introduction to Media Studies! I look forward to learning just how technology has shaped our culture and to learn its many effects on society.

One of my favorite blogs ever is http://www.gizmodo.com mainly because everything that I would ever need to know about technology can be found there. Gizmodo was my main go-to site to find out everything about the infamous iPhone 4 (which I still have yet to receive =/ )! I highly encourage anyone to it if they haven't been to it yet. It has everything you might need to know about all the latest technology and systems!

As for the multimedia I am required to add to this blog, I decided to add a video of one of my first videos I did for my English class. I was required to make a commercial that appealed to audiences. Me and my group put together a little video about an uncanny time to lose service to your cell phone. Here it is! :D

Well until next time, peace, love, and hook 'em!
