The document discusses music videos, their purpose, and how they have evolved. It explains that originally, music videos were mainly a promotional tool used by the music industry to market artists and songs to audiences. However, as audiences now consume music videos online through sites like YouTube, fans have more control over discovering and sharing artists, while artists have more creative freedom without relying solely on industry support. The relationship between artists, audiences, and the industry is now more complex and multi-directional than the traditional top-down model of the past.

Dancing in The Stardom
The evolution of the music industry with the spread of the Internet. The full paper is available here: https://www.academia.edu/359318/The_recording_industry_and_grassroots_marketing_from_street_teams_to_flash_mobs
New media have changed the relationship between the recording industry and fans. TheInternet allows fans to share copyrighted music in p2p and Web 2.0 platforms. The
recording industry has reacted mainly with ‘prohibitionist’ strategies, while cultural scholarsargue that a ‘collaborationist’ approach is needed with the aim of creating an ‘affectiveeconomy’. In this paper, I describe the strategies of the major labels to create a fanbase of
grassroots promoters. During an ethnographic research project, I identified different forms
of grassroots marketing (‘street team’, ‘flash mob’, and ‘mission’). I argue that labels try toharness ‘participative stardom’: a ‘music star’ is created thanks to transmedia strategies
(online presence and TV appearances during media events and talent shows), then labelsoutsource promotional activities to fans, rewarding them with branded products and theopportunity to meet artists.
Policy pop power
The document discusses strategies for adapting traditional animation and manga businesses to the online world. It proposes creating a boundless online channel, multilingual idol groups to appeal to global young audiences, and using popular music and animation to promote interactive online content. Specifically, it recommends that Niconico take these ideas and expand into 9 languages to reach more international fans.
AuxQ EECS 441 Presentation 1 Winter 2020
AuxQ is developing a mobile app that allows users to create public music queues that can be changed in real-time. Currently, there is no way to collaboratively create playlists that update in real-time. The app aims to solve this by letting users collectively decide what song plays next at parties and other events. It will offer features like playlist creation, discovery of other playlists, and real-time collaboration between users to choose the next song.
AuxQ Presentation #5
The document describes a mobile application called AuxQ that allows users to collaboratively create and contribute to real-time music playlists for parties and social gatherings. It summarizes improvements made from MVP1 to MVP2, including allowing hosts to view songs and guests, adding upvote/downvote features for song ordering, and adding Facebook login for user profiles. User testing scores and feedback showed improvements in MVP2. Unexpected issues included demands for multiple playlist hosts and inconsistent UI across devices. The presentation concludes by revisiting their hypothesis and lessons learned about identifying pain points and the importance of user feedback.
WhoSampled Presentation - Mixcloud 2nd Birthday Party
The document discusses sampling in music and how it has become more prevalent. It notes that sampling is a cornerstone of genres like urban and electronic music over the last 30 years. Approximately 50% of recent US number one hits incorporated sampling. The document also discusses the legal issues around sampling, how the music industry can learn from how tech companies embrace and promote APIs to distribute content. It suggests record labels could similarly embrace fan mashups and release stems for remixes to promote new albums.

SWOT
iTunes is a free application for Mac and PC that allows users to organize and play digital music and video. It syncs content between computers and provides access to the iTunes Store. Some key milestones include selling over 70 million songs in its first year and over 10 billion songs total. iTunes holds a large share of the legal music download market in the US and was the second largest music seller behind Walmart in 2008. It is strongly integrated with Apple's iPod and the iTunes Store provides a significant revenue source, especially on Windows. However, some criticize its integration on Windows and difficulties exporting music from iTunes or downloading purchases again. Illegal music downloading and streaming services pose threats, but downloadable music and MP3 players remain
The Poker Club 9-shot analysis
The 9-shot opening title sequence for the crime/thriller film "The Poker Club" uses visual motifs and symbolism to set expectations for the genre while raising questions and intrigue for the audience. Shots progress from an ominous eye to playing cards and chips surrounded by darkness and splattered with blood, hinting at mysteries, deception, and violence involving a card game. Small clues are provided without fully revealing the story to encourage viewers to watch the film for answers.
The poker club – 9 shot analysis
The 9 shot analysis of the opening credits of "The Poker Club" establishes that violence and death will be prominent themes in the film. Shot 1 sets the scene of a poker game. Shots 2-4 introduce an ominous eye symbol and a gun placed over playing cards, suggesting danger. Shots 5-6 depict a playing card transforming disturbingly. Shots 7-8 show the gun in more detail, implying violence will overtake the poker game. The final shot shows a bloody playing card, leaving it ambiguous which character will die but generating tension. The fade-to-black ending leaves viewers feeling uncertain and on edge.
Ontology of Poker
There is blind chess but there is no blind poker. This is because to play poker essentially involves the use of cards and chips (or representations of or proxies for cards and chips). A game of chess, in contrast, may involve only the exchange of speech acts. We draw initial conclusions for the ontology of poker from this distinction.

Everyone Is Terrible At Poker
This document discusses common misconceptions and myths among regular poker players. It argues that most regular players are at a "club level" and have no chance against elite players due to a wide skill gap. It debunks common "rules of thumb" like the five and ten rule and folding early to avoid getting outplayed, explaining how following such myths will prevent improvement. The document recommends doing range-building exercises daily to improve strategy and rise above the level of regular players.

Monumental architecture -Rabiya Khan
Monumental architecture was an important part of medieval kingdoms in India. Kings built grand monuments like temples, mosques, and palaces to demonstrate their power, wealth, and devotion to religion. As architectural styles evolved, new techniques were introduced, such as the use of arches and domes during the Sultanate period. The Mughals greatly influenced Indian architecture with styles blending Persian and Indian elements. Iconic buildings from this era included the Taj Mahal and Red Fort, commissioned by Shah Jahan and other Mughal emperors to showcase their artistic vision and legacy.
Parametric Architecture – Botanical Treeson Cad
The document summarizes the goals and methods of the author's thesis project to create parametric 3D botanical trees in AutoCAD. The goals were to use L-systems and botanical growth curves to generate trees that could be customized through an interface.
