I am researching grant ideas and I am interested in something to do with media – music, television, and technology. I did not narrow down my subject but I am leaning towards introducing technology to young students to keep them interested in some aspects of music and television and encouraging them to get involved in activities, whether it is on their own free time or after school. Growing up music was such a huge part of my life and it still is today. Going to concerts is something I try to take advantage of often and there is nothing better than watching my favorite artist or band pour their emotions out on stage with the crowd singing back their songs and seeing them react. Watching my favorite television show, Friends, in middle school and high school was what really got me interested in television and helped me discover what I truly want to do with my life. I became extremely interested about the advertising campaigns Friends had, the writers, the actors, the relationships these cast and crew members had with each other and their audience, writing techniques, comedy, etc.
I have to research and organize this a bit more but these are just a few ideas I had.
- Filming live music – photography, videos, using digital cameras and video recorders
- Filming/photographing television
- Technology – PCs/Macs, Skype, Social Media- Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, AIM, Facebook Chat, etc.
