The medium that I chose to do the Photoshop assignment on was YouTube. YouTube has changed our society because anyone can record, edit and upload a video onto YouTube for the world to see. Everyone can put themselves out there to have their 15 minutes of fame. I tried to depict this in my Photoshop image by showing a Camcorder and a Flip Camera to show how accessible it is to film a movie. I then put in an image of Windows Movie Maker, one of the many free editing softwares that is available to edit movies. Not only can people edit their own movies by cutting out scenes or rearranging them, they can get a movie offline (like a music video, advertisement, or a speech) and use an editing software to add text, music or voice-over, and other elements. YouTube is a global platform, which means that anyone searching on YouTube can see your video once you publish it to the site. This public viewing is why I chose to put the world behind the YouTube logo, and have an audience watching the computer screen. Like McLuan said, YouTube is a medium because it is an extension of ourselves.
