A Look at Music Videos - Celine Dion My Heart Will Go On

Initial reaction: 
When I first heard the music  the theme seemed to be sad and greatly depressing

Analysis and interpretation: 
The music video shows a lot of variety through out the song. The scene changes with the song to show a story between the two lovers. It is obvious that this song was made for the movie because the clips from Titanic are in the video. This song was made to establish a connection between the audience and the couple so that we felt what they felt. I think the song does this well. The themes of this song may be that even though they both love each other they have the ability to move on.

Consideration of cultural context: 
I am guessing that this song was inspired by the actual titanic.

Expression of aesthetic judgement: 
The instrumental, lyrics, and clips in the music  video come together as one to portray a story of the lovers and make you feel connected to their story. The music set the mood of sadness but you can tell it is about love. The visual were clips from the movie. They brought the audience from the beginning to the end of the love story and really developed a connection with the audience.


Ongoing reflection: 
I feel that the song is very effective by itself but with the video it becomes a little stronger.

Web 2.0

From the beginning literacy has been defined as being able to read and write. Now days that has completely changed. We no longer have to just read a book or write on a piece of paper. We can now also type out documents and access info using various websites and applications. The Internet opens up a new way do things better, organize and customize. The technology we already have and the ones that are to come will keep changing the definition of literacy. Soon literacy will not be physically be reading or writing but will be reading on ebooks or posting blogs.



Web 2.0 is challenging us to rethink ourselves. Our relationships are a lot more complicated now. There are so many thing that one needs to take into account when using the Internet for communication. Fiends we meet in person are different That the friends we meet online. We don't actually know anything about the person except for what they tell us. Education has also changed. Education is integrated online for students to take full advantage of the Internet. In some cases we may not need to go to school at all. Every aspect of our live are now integrated with the internet.
