I explored ITunes U for one day.

Oh!! I stopped my blog for more than 3 months. Yeah! I was kind of busy recently but now, I have time to do something becasue the projects I had are done. I am using Itunes since yesterday and I am continuously downloading video and audio lectures. Till now, I roamed 8 universities; among 8, Berkeley University has the best contents in terms of quality and quantity. You can notice from this picture that there are a lot of lectures.

Nowadays, I am interested with computer programs so I checked the lectures regarding with computer programming in Berkeley University. Oh! My God! They are professional programming structures and data structures and so on so I quickly moved the page back. hehe. I am not sure that video and audio lectures give you help to get an applicable knowledge or not, but I think that it is better than nothing, if you can understand them. A! One more thing! If you visit the site of Stanford University, at your right side of the monitor, you can see “download top 10.” The top 1 is the speech of Steve Jobs during graduation of Stanford(maybe); it is just 15 minutes long but his speech is really interesting. I guess that most of the people who are successful in the society are kind of like outsiders; they are somewhat different from the ordinaries. Probably that made them become successful.

Go back to Itunes, One more useful thing for me from Itunes is Podcasts, I knew that there was Podcasts in this world; it is used by plenty of users. Surely, my interest is English so I explored language section; I found one lecture series for better writing by “Grammar Girl.” I clicked download for whole parts, also I added, “Just vocabulary.” As a result, non I have 300 download lists;I am so greedy. Right? I guess I download them during whole weekend. And one good thing is that I thought files can be played only through Itunes, but based on my experience, they can be played using other players. Therefore, you can put them in your mp3 after converting.

I really admire what Apple is doing, they are gainnig money form the public and they are returning some to the public through various ways. Anyway I hope that you can find good lecture. There is always a way, if you want to do something. Promote pm your own for your future; without investigation, you cannot achieve anything. I will not download anymore until I finish all of those I downloaded. I am so happy now because I have lots of thing to do.

please put subtitle.

I really wanted to understand what they said; frankly, I could not understand what are contents of documentary because narrations were Tagalog. During film viewing, Ma’am Virgie excused me that they will speck Tagalog for that time. I understood about it. I think that I am student who study in the Philippines so I respect their culture and languages. And Koreans are same as Filipino. If there are Koreans, they speck Korean instead English so it’s same anyway Let’s go back to documentary. Hum… Reaction paper of documentaries? Actually, I don’t have a lot of comment on them. I just watch the visuals and sound that’s all but the visuals were enough to make some comment to me. Recently, I did lots of editing such as VJ Hunt, RTV projects and E-NEW room so now I am more interested with many programs and way of editing. I will not mention each of them because I don’t want to criticize their good works; I think that whether they are good or not, all of them are worthy; I know that we were just watch their final products but behind of documentary there were groups efforts and hard works and I know that some of them get help from someone. I noticed some weakness from them on editing 1. When sound transferred to another sound, it was sudden loud so it bothered audiences. 2. Sounds were not synchronized with scenes. 3. Some scenes were too long, although those scenes had not really significant meaning. I could not find more, becasue wihtout knowing contents, it is so hard to edit. Anyway they were good and I learned what format of documentary is. I am sure that next year if I produce documentary, this experience will help me to produce better documentary and i will put English subtitle.
