Pennypress is a series of music videos about American historical events that I developed and shot as my graduate thesis project. The following report describes the project in detail, discussing the ideas, goals and challenges behind each video as well as the themes and intentions for the project as a whole. / text

The purpose of this creative thesis project is to complete video greetings for the business "Recherche Cards," expected to be launched by late August 2007. Recherche DVD cards is a relatively new concept in the greetings industry, and will offer various video and 2D/3D animated greetings. The greetings can be sent online as they are or can be personalized with the client's videos and be mailed on a DVD format. For the clients looking for something exclusive, they can order a custom made card designed just for them. The ordering will take online only at www.recherchecards.com. The following proposal will discuss how it was conceived and brought to completion. / Department of Telecommunications

This content analysis study of music videos answered questions concerning the amount and severity of violence content during different time periods of the day. A system of classifying violence content as nonviolent, mostly light, neither light nor serious, mostly serious, and extremely serious was used to evaluate music videos from MTV. One hour from each day was randomly selected for evaluation for a period of thirty days. During this time, there were 313 occurrences of music videos which were aired and subsequently evaluated. The results indicated the majority of these music videos contained mostly light or no violence content. This study also revealed that the most likely time of day a viewer would see videos with violence would be from midnight until eight in the morning.

Actualmente el proceso de aprendizaje es un proceso intrínsecamente relativo puesto que es preciso que el estudiante desee aprender y se sienta motivado a ello. En lo que respecta a la Matemática, es sumamente importante motivar y despertar el interés de los estudiantes en determinados temas que son relevantes en su carrera profesional. Es así que, utilizamos el diseño de entornos virtuales de aprendizaje interactivos con videos educativos en “Pantalla Verde” como una parte dentro del modelo educativo en el cual se viene trabajando, el flipped classroom, en cursos blended (semipresenciales) de Matemática de la Universidad Peruana de Ciencias Aplicadas. / Currently the learning process is an intrinsically relative process since it is necessary that the student wants to learn and feel motivated to do so. With regard to Mathematics, it is extremely important to motivate and arouse students' interest in certain topics that are relevant to their professional career. Thus, we use the design of interactive virtual learning environments with educational videos in "Green Screen" as a part of the educational model in which the flipped classroom is being developed, in blended courses of University Mathematics Institute of Applied Sciences.
