Title : India, diversity vision personified.

Synopsis: With multitudes of languages, different cultures, different traditions, and existence of every possible religion, India is a classical example of unity in diversity.

Introduction:

The term culture refers to a state of intellectual development or manners. Indian culture is rich and diverse and as a result unique in its very own way. Our way of communicating with one another, manners etc are one of the important components of our culture. Though we have accepted modern means of living, improved our lifestyle, our values and beliefs still remain unchanged. A person can change his way of clothing, way of eating and living but the rich values in a person always remains unchanged because they are deeply rooted within our hearts, mind, body and soul which we receive from our culture. Indian culture treats guests as god and serves them and takes care of them as if they are a part and parcel of the family itself. Even though we don’t have anything to eat, the guests are never left hungry and are always looked after by the members of the family. Elders and the respect for elders is the most important aspect in Indian culture.

This is my last video blog. I would like to show bollywood and its music and dance. This vlog basically will show the history of bollywood and where it has reached now. The famous actors. Infact, we also have Miss world India and Miss Universe India as the most successful actresses of bollywood.

Bollywood (Hindi) is an informal name given to popular Mumbai-based Hindi language film industry in India. Bollywood is commonly referred to as hindi cinema.

HISTORY:

Raja Harishchandra (1913) was the first feature film made in India. It was made by Dadasaheb phalke. By 1930's the industry was producing over 200 films per annum. In late 1950's Bollywood released its first color films.

Print Chic - Video Post

Welcome to the final vlog in the When Bird Meets Blog series. Here, a look beyond Guild funded press, to look at students producing press without the financial assistance of a student union. This vlog includes interviews with Nina Sabolir (the editor of Wasted) and Sarah Furtner (the editor of Fork). I hope that their enthusiasm for the printed
word will leave you feeling convinced by its continued relevance.

Thanks for watching!

SPECIAL: Student Media Scandals - Video Post

This week, I decided to pursue a different approach with my vlogging. Initially, I had planned to use this third episode to explore the advantages of hybridising print and internet forms, particularly in relation to Pelican. Given the recent developments involving contributor/aspiring politician Dom Rose, however, I decided to instead focus upon student media scandals that have occurred throughout the last couple of years. I think that these are worth taking seriously, because they exhibit the potential of the printed form to influence and impact upon communities (both on campus and beyond).

Vox Me Up - Video Post

Through the style of all these video blogs, I am attempting to mimic the general tone of student media. While the first vlog echoed the form of two opposing opinion columns, this one is designed to explicitly mirror Pelican's regular feature, "Vox Pops Round Campus" (a feature commonly nestled within the front pages of any quality student paper). Originally, my idea was to feature each individual vox pop as a video embedded within a flash document that mirror a Pelican spread - so as to create something of an "interactive page." Technical difficulties prevented me from realising this ambition; however, I hope that the quirky, individual responses of these four vox pops subjects will nonetheless remind you of the quintessential Pelican style.
