Fair Use Remix

Fair Use Remix

I watched a fair use remix that mixed hit movie Frozen and classic movie Mean Girls. I found this remix interesting because it involves two very popular movies/soundtracks in my era.

This remix was very proportional in the sense that the audio lined up perfectly with the video. I think that if it wasn't proportional it would have not been so good because it just looks unprofessional when the audio and video are not proportional.

Along with that, this remix did give credit to Disney and Paramount who produced it by stating in the description of the video that she doesn't own Disney, Frozen, Paramount or Mean Girls.

This American Life/Radio Lab

This American Life/Radio Lab

I chose to listen to one segment of American Life 538: Is this working? and from Radio Lab I listened to about 10 minutes of 60 words. I found multiple similarities and differences between the segments. The American Life segment spoke about rigid school systems and they featured someone with a story about their experience with a strict school system, while Radio Lab spoke about how 60 words of legal language have blurred the line between war and peace.

While listening to both videos I noticed that in This American Life that there were little sound effects, however when there were they were in the background when narrating and at the end of the interview. However in Radio Lab there was way more audio/sound effects which included audio from news broadcasts and interviews.

In terms of the interview style, Radio Lab was much more casual and was more like a discussion. While This American Life was clearly an interviewer asking questions and narrating and the interviewee answering and telling his story.
