It's a bird...It's a plane...IT'S MY FIRST BLOG!

  11:00 p.m.
 After a thirteen hour school day that has turned my brain to the same mush served in your local Jester Cafeteria. What is inspiration? Is it a superhero that flies wearing a red cape and a large S on his chest, that happens to commonly be mistaken for a bird or a plane? How about a guy with a, well lets face it, a pretty darn low IQ that managed to overcome and succeed  life's many obstacles with the simple philosophy " Life is like a box of chocolates?" Ah, could inspiration be a determined football player who dreamed of playing for Notre Dame but was counted off as too small, too slow, and did I say to small? Yet, in the end, the crowd chanted his name.

 Personally, inspiration is the art of storytelling behind these three and countless other concepts. I don't just view motivational movies as inspiring but any "well made" movie.  For me its all about the way a story is told and not necessarily the story itself. I am eager to learn the craft of film making. That is why I am taking RTF 305 and look forward to transferring into the RTF program.

I am curious to learn how media has evolved over time. Living in the current digital age I am interested to discover the humble beginnings of communication technology and study its process of evolution.  Society and media are so intertwined. I look forward to understanding the relationship of society and media. Thus, begs the question, is society shaping media or media shaping society?
