During my summer I watched a films called "The Tanning Of America" which is a documentary which is based on how Hip-Hop it created a culture. It also made a evolutionary movement that had got more advanced through the decades “The Tanning Of America” also explains how it made a change in films, television shows, fashion sense, business, politics and also race relations. This doc drew me closer to the art Hip-Hop and the reason why I felt this way was because Hip-Hop was developed through different genres such as Soul, Disco, Pop and a few others
it really inspired me because of the history. I also watched Captain Phillips which kept me entertained from beginning to end. I really enjoyed it because it was action packed. The plot of the story was basically a captain who got his ship surrounded by a small group of pirates, the pirates take the captain as hostage to the sea eventually they get the captain back.
I listened to a stack full of songs although one of the songs that was stuck in my head constantly was a song called " I need answers"- Dizzy Wright and the reason why I chose the song was because the lyrics are really touching to me in my personal opinion. I also listened to “So Fresh” by Will Smith, Biz Markie and Slick Rick I listened to this song because it's just a song I can relax to will I’m in the strolling in the sun.
In my summer I watched a lot of TV but one program I watched was "Eastenders" I watch it because it's entertaining and it always finds a way to get me interested with the dramatic story lines and ever since I took media I’ve started to notice all the shots in the episode and I also look at the facial expressions. I also watched “My Wife & Kids” and also “The Simpsons” because it makes me laugh so much there both sitcoms that find ways at entertain me.
The websites I use on a daily basis are Facebook and Twitter because I feel that I can speak my mind and also talk to friends and family also I can find out what's going on in the world and how I can find out more about it from that to searching it up on the Google.
A month ago there was an incident in Ferguson, Missouri a 18 year old victim was shot he was unarmed and he was shot by a police officer. The wounds were so serious that he died and the reason why it got my attention is because he wasn't holding a weapon yet they shot him. To me I think it's a stereotype that is too often because the police officer that shot him thought that he was armed and he wasn't which got me very annoyed also this makes the police look bad because they killed someone with no weapon.
