Journal Entry #2: Digital Communication

Today in BBT class, I watched another video on digital communication but the focus of this one was on electronic mail. When it comes to this certain topic, I found it very cool and surprising that you can set your email account to put your signature down automatically on every email. I always forget to put my name on everything so I am definitely going to use this in the future. I personally love texting, mostly cause I've been doing it for so long. I find it hard to use email and it's just a lot easier for me to text. BBC means blind carbon copy, which is basically like sending a private email. Any recipients on the BBC line of an email are not visible to the other recipients. I think this would be useful when you want to send an email to multiple people but you don't want the recipients to see who all received it. I think all young people should watch this video or at least hear the part about naming the email. Whenever I send an email, I usually don't name it or just forget to, now I'm definitely going to name them so the receiver doesn't take it as junk mail.

Camera Techniques

Within the five videos I have just watched, I learned many new camera techniques such as Point of View and Framing. With the first video I learned about the Rule of Thirds. I found this video so interesting and I could not get over how much better the photo looked when he used the rule. The second video talked about Filling the Frame, which is basically taking a more close up photo and more focused on one thing. I thought that this video was very helpful because I always tend to take photos from far away, but now I know better. The next video was all about Framing. This video was probably my favorite, since all the end photos look so good and it's such a simple technique to use. Another thing I learned about today was Point of View. The part I liked best about this video was how cool and unique each of the photos were, I would never think to turn the camera upside down and take a photo of a building, but maybe now I'll reconsider. The last video I watched was all about Leveling

3D Printed Car

Do you think the use of 3D printing can help car designers? Why or why not? No, I don't think it helped car designers at all. In fact, I think it's kind of a waste of time. If we already have a method of building cars that is fast, and works perfectly then there's no need to try and make it more technical, especially if i's going to take longer than the previous method. Do you think that cars would ever be manufactured this way? Explain your reasoning. I think that if we ever find a way to manufacture these types of cars faster and more efficient then maybe people would manufacture them this way, but if not then most car producers will probably stick to the old way and continue making the cars in a way suitable for everybody. What would you create with a 3D printer? It could be a car, part of a car or any other item. Discuss. I would create a couch with a 3D printer. It sounds weird, but I think it would be cool to have a couch in any style, color or print you
