New Media is Lit

This is a professional example of a promo video for the art department at Edinboro University. I am unsure what program they used to create or how long it took them, but I did enjoy watching the video. I enjoyed their usage of students in their classes working on projects. I also enjoyed that they portrayed video of professors and students in the classrooms. This video was appealing to watch and made me want to learn more about the majors and program.

Originally they were known as diaries and were used to record someone's daily life and innermost thoughts. Today there are different kinds of journals.

Well without further ado the video will be placed below. I will place the newer, improved version of the video below. I didn't change much from the first to second iteration. Hope you like it!

There are three different definitions of literature though they can be summed up as such: written works to inform, persuade, or entertain an audience. So what is the relationship between literature and new media. The simple answer would be they are both a form of communication and although they exist and are used in daily life in different forms both are a means to catalog the culture and information of a time period.
