Google Glass

I believe that trying to use google glass while driving is very ridiculous. This is redundant, the idea is very innovative, but the uses are dangerous. Something can pop up in the glass, make you lose sight of the road and kill someone. Why by this to use while driving when there are GPSs that do the exact same thing. Its worse than texting and driving. This should very much be criminalized.

GTA V

Personally this game is one of my favorites! Although the gameplay is great, you must respect the work and imagination that goes into creating such a game. GTA V world is so realistic, with the city of Los Santos being mirrored as modern day Los Angeles, California I picture the creators of this game did a lot of work trying to make sure that the players gained a simulated first hand experience through the state of California. The games main three characters from different walks of life all scene in California. You have the choice to be an ex-robber who is now rich, a meth addict red neck, or a repo man who is trying to change his life but always seems to steer off of his path. The fact that these are three very different character that you can control at anytime shows that the creators were trying to let you see the bad aspects of California and rises its way up to the most envied aspect of the state. Even the way the characters interact with each other shows evidence of deep observation in to west coast culture. Not only does it mirror California as a whole the creators also showed evidence of real life things happening in our nation now. In the city of Los Santos at points in the game it shows protests and closed stores that showed evidence of a recent recession.

Blog #6 Let The Blood Pour

The types of prop blood used in movies has a lot to do with the budget that the movie has. The earliest used prop blood in films were ketchup. Alfred Hitchcock used Bosco chocolate syrup because the movie Psycho. It was made in black and white so consistency and color did not matter. In TV shows the budget is shorter so blood does not look as real, but as the show gains views the budget will increase and blood is one thing that will be upgraded depending on how frequent blood is shown in the show. The same concept pretty much goes the same for movies just instead of viewers it is budgets. The more money the better the blood. Also the type of blood depends on how gory the film will be. If blood is shown more frequently then producers will be looking for a bigger budget to spend on more realistic prop blood. This also helps a producer determines exactly how much blood to by for each scene and re-shoots.
