Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (The Beatles)
Do video sharing sites such as youtube enhance or worsen creative culture?
The video i choose is the Beatles' Lucy in the sky with diamond. As I think that the trend and the idea of making music video is starting from Michael Jackson,to extract the elements from the songs, together with the act of the singers, to make a video with songs, story, theme and the singer. So when i watched this video, it brought a very funny feelings to me. It is very interesting to see the animated cartoons and colorful stuff shining. Since this is a song of the Beatles from very long time ago, it is very lucky to have youtube- a video sharing platform, to see the videos made long time ago.It also changed my mind that the idea of making music video is started before Michael Jackson.
The benefits of youtube as a sharing platform, it can let people upload very old video to give new inspiration to nowadays movie and video makers. Such as the above Beatles' music video do give many inspiration to the Internet community.Here is one of the example, the music video-Woo Weekend (singer BOA)
BOA's music video is adding the animated elements and the singer together. After watching these two music videos, i think that youtube is really acting as a very good sharing and inspiring platform. At least after i watching thee two video, i would have a passion too make such kinds of video. I think youtube is also encourage people to make their own video and than share it through youtube, this is clearly that youtube also acting as a encouraging and inspiring role.
Someone said that youtube is worsen the creative culture and create a bad phenomenon such as the "Bus Uncle" issue, if the youngsters watch this video, they may learn the bad behavior and finally affect the whole society. However i think that it is not the truth. Because as youtube become more and more popular, it is also become more and more systematic, people can report the video which is not appropriate. So the above problems can be solved easily.
In my point of view, youtube's benefits are much greater than its damages. People can share their videos, they can give comments to let people to have improvements, indeed, youtube can also help people doing their researches, provide some useful information and help people to learn. The internet community can choose what they want to watch, get inspiration to make, and bring fun to their life.
I agree with you, youtube has became a platform for people share their knowledge, feelings, stories...etc
回覆刪除And people can learn while they are watching the video/ comment.
And for the information
For my own experience, I can find some really alternative music in YouTube, which I cant find them in some main stream media (TVB, ATV...etc). Just like what I said, don't you think that YouTube is a place for people to know something that main stream media don't like to show?
For Chinese, maybe the fact of 64...
And I would say that, it is the thing that Wikipedia sharing with YouTube, they are built by ordinary people, and this allowed different voices to speak.
