b) How would you rate the video?
Actually, I think this video is so funny as the person shows the most "truthful" face to us. There is a great facial expression on his face. He is crying and even screaming in order to share all the feelings he wants to let all people know.

c) Is it of high quality in technical terms? Is it interesting aesthetically e.g. camera angles, use of light, the narrative, and so on?
It is not technical as no special manner is used for making this video. It seems that Chris Crocker was shot himself. Frontal camera angles, soft and ordinary lighting is not interesting aesthetically.
But for the narrative, I think there is a distinctive style. The point here is that there is no completed storyline, only one character to have a reflection of his emotions in this you tube video, so it is different from other you tube videos. To some extents, I would think that it is quite interesting but not aesthetic.
d) Does it raise interesting socio-cultural issues?
Yes, it does. Everyone want to share their opinion on some particular issues, they can make a video and post it on you tube, then all people can watch that. There is no boundary between the viewer and the maker when sharing a video online. You can have some comments on the video. Others see your comments, they may respond to that and thus there is also an interaction between the viewers. You tube makes people open-minded enough as it can help exchange the opinions that are from different countries. It definitely changes the soical culture in the world.
e) Do you think deserved the attention that it received from the Internet community?
It is deserved for us to pay attention to this video. Even it is only for Chris Crocker to express his own ideas and feelings online, it still can let us know what happens in the world, what the people are thinking or what news they are interested in. They all are the reflections of our society and show the socio-cultural changes, we should not overlook it.
f) Briefly describe the video
This video is going to appeal to the public for leaving brittany Spears alone. As I mentioned above, Chris Crocker pretends to be a girl and talks about brittany Spears's performance. He is so pathetic when he shares his feelings on this particular event.

g) Find at least one interesting video, based on Crocker’s or Bus Uncle, and upload it to your blog
This video had a storyline to react what Chris Crocker done in the "Leave Brittany Alone". In this video, Brittany's head was bombed. It is quite funny and amusing.
h) Report some positive and negative comments about this new ability for computer users to make and widely distribute and respond to online films (such as the above three videos). (eg see Leadbeater, We-think, xviii; Burgess and Green, Youtube, Cambridge: Polity, 2009, 10…, 21-30).
According to the above reading, there are some positive and negative bout this new ability for computer users to make and widely distribute and respond to online films.
For the positive comments, there are the growth of knowledge as everyone can enjoy the information on the Internet freely. People just need to search the particular topic online, then they can get lots of information they want. It is more easier to get the information definitely.
In addition, people make a musical video and then upload it on Youtube, they may become the most popular person on the Internet if their video can draw the attention of the public, for example. As we know, Youtube is a way to "broadcast yourself" into fame and fortune. Therefore, Youtube can give a chance to the computer users to show their talents or initiatives for the public. Finally, they may win a recording contract and become an "ordinary" celebrity.
On the other hand, there are some cultural rearrangements as people are liberating to comment on others' uploading on the Internet. Sometimes, it shows that people are disputing for the conflict of the cultural or political beliefs and values. When people have some comments on others' opinion, others can respond to the comments also, then the complex relations between the producers of the online films and viewers will emerge.
Moreover, we may be doubtful about the information that is correct or not. One of the reason for that is "the uncertainties around various forms of expertise and authority". It could involves some political and cultural problems. For instance, when the hegemony arises, it will get the attention of the public and lose the democratic. Finally, it might be biased the readers whether the information is authentic or not.
These all are the positive and negative comments about this new ability for computer users to make and widely distribute and respond to online films.
