I remember going into this seminar not knowing what communications was, just knowing that movies and TV fell into that category, which is why I chose it, as I said on my first assignment. I learned so much more than that. I learned how people communicate with one another and how fanfiction has become very popular and can be treated as an art, depending on how that fanfiction is written. I never knew how much of an pact fandoms have made, but their impact is large, so I learned they have to be taken seriously. Moving forward, I know that I will look at advertisements in a different way, and whenever I watch particular YouTube videos, I'll look at them in a different way, too, knowing that they are also a form of advertisement.

The PR team I would vote for is the PR team for the Boston subway. The reason for that is because they mentioned the specific problems the subway had this winter and how they would go about solving them. They also sounded very confident, which is important for a PR team. The main problem they talked about was that the subway basically stopped working. What I loved was that they said that the MBTA should issue a formal apology, as that would show that they recognized the unfortunate problem that occurred and that they would take full responsibility for the damage that the problem had done, something that I, as someone who rides the subway, would appreciate.

Recently, James Horner, the composer responsible for the scores of films like Titanic and Avatar, passed away in a plane crash. The director of those films, James Cameron, reflected on his experience with working with him, which was originally published on The Hollywood Reporter. Cameron described hearing Horner’s score on Battle Beyond the Stars, a film that both of them worked on, as “the best thing about the film.” Therefore, he wanted to work with Horner on Aliens, but things did not go as planned, since Horner spent less than two days on the score and Cameron had to be involved in editing the score because of that. However, Cameron and Horner worked with each other again on Titanic, initially trying to pretend that the falling out never happened. Unlike Aliens, Horner fully committed to composing the score for Titanic, and once Cameron heard it, he cried. Cameron continued by explaining the hard work Horner put in the score for Avatar, where he did “an awful lot of experimentation.” Cameron ends by saying that he was happy with their interaction when he saw him for the last time, where there was a live orchestra playing the score of Titanic in sync with the movie. When E! Online repackaged this story, they did not paint the entire picture. While they talked about Horner’s contribution for Titanic, they brushed over Avatar and made no mention of the falling out the two had after Aliens, making their relationship seem completely friendly the whole time they knew each other.

Since 2009, I've been a Little Monster, which probably is not a surprise. I'm still part of the Lady Gaga fandom, but I was never one of those fans who made fanfiction based off her or anything like that. I was just a very big fan, but it was the most crazy when I was in middle school, because the main thing that I always talked about was her. When my friends came over to my house, I mostly just showed them her videos and songs during the whole hangout. I think my obsession peaked when I was trying to convince a bunch of people to watch her video because Justin Bieber was about to pass her as having the most viewed video of all time. Looking back on it, I can't believe I went that crazy. Lady Gaga is a normal human being, just like all of us. She just happens to be famous, and for good reason.

When I watch a television show, I feel that one of the most important elements is relatability, as it gives me a feeling that someone else is experiencing the same thing that I am, and that’s why I watch Modern Family once in a while. I felt that I could relate to this episode in particular, since it was all shown through Claire’s computer screen. I usually communicate with my family and friends through the internet, so it was great to see that displayed. The most important plot point for me was Claire’s worrying over Haley, when she thinks she got married and eloped with her boyfriend because of that, except she was in the house sleeping the whole time. That core plotline was something that I could connect to because not only do I have the same sleeping schedule as Haley (possibly even worse), but I also could relate to Haley’s viewpoint on her mother, since my parents can often have the same attitude as Claire and not understand me, which gets annoying, but I suppose that happens with every family. As that was being displayed in Modern Family, not only was I laughing at it, but I was thinking, “I’m really not the only person who experiences this,” and that, in my opinion, was the reason why I loved the episode so much.
