In the world of user-generated content, each one of us is capable of becoming an overnight sensation. As we observe, discuss, and analyze Web 2.0, we will start to unravel what it means to live in Web 2.0. But mostly—as this is above all a writing course—from the first day of class, we will compose an exploration of the many forms and types of media that make up our daily experiences. In doing so, we will compose a living record of the what it means to create and compose in Web 2.0.

Harry Potter Friday Parody by The Hillywood Show®
This video is a parody of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part I and Rebecca Black’s “Friday”. I think this video is a great example of user generated content because the creator of this video was able to process his own version of the movie and the song. He produced his own faux production company and made a parody of the movie. He created his own lyrics to the songs and narrated it thru the movies actions. This video had over 1 million hits. It has internationally been awarded as Most Viewed, which proves that it has effectively entertained the viewers. This video is effective because it combines two popular content in pop culture and creates and entertaining spoof.
This video might have been different if it was produced by “traditional” media, such as TV channels, because then they would have gotten paid by Warner Brothers for the promotional aspects of this video. There would have been more CG effects and recognizable faces, rather then regular kids taking part. Being a user generated content; this video shows an independently diverted perception of this movie and song.
