Hey

I am writing a big project for an gymnasium AT exam (equivalent to a college final exam) and my topic is "to be on" (as in on the air, or under surveillance (makes more sense in Danish))

The project must: "Research and discus a case where personal broadcast and or surveillance where the use of modern technology plays a major part."

Tbh my first thought was of Day[9] and his dailys and the "state of the game" podcasts.

Further more i must choose what classes i want to take this in. I must choose 2 and can choose from this list:

Danish
English
Physics
History
Religion
Ancient history
Social science (i think this is the translation)
Biologi
Math
Psychology

OKAY this is where YOU come into play. I am not sure if i should choose DAY9 but since he is awesome i would like to do so.
I would like to just throw this up here and see if anyone knows of any prior projects about Day9 or has any ideas to angel and even classes to take. I dont have any vide or tech classes . I am not so interested in material ATM because i am not sure if i should take this topic

Any way thanks

every thing is appreciated

My current ideas is:
How Day9 uses the new media of streaming to reach a broad audience, especially using the interactive aspect (the voting and so on). And his influence on the community. perhaps also talking about forums like Teamliquid, but i think that would be extending myself.

things i have thougt about including

Day9 Dailys
day9 daily #100
article about #100 http://gatewaytogold.com/lessons-from-a-nerdy-gamer/
State of the game
Day9's "how to make your own live internet show" http://www.pcworld.com/article/213034/screencast_live_how_to_make_your_own_web_tv_show.html

I was really excited for a big new project by day[9].

on topic: I dont think you should do day[9]. While hes great for the community, whats hes doing isn't particularly new to the world at this point, nor is it really worth a lot of time studying his methodology, as it isn't very complex.

To be quite frank, school projects on eSport-related subjects always turn out lame. If you're really into this subject I'd suggest you do a general analysis of the new phenomena that is livestreaming for the masses. Doing it solely on Day9 will force you to stay on a descriptive level which won't give you a good grade (and this project of yours weighs double, so having a B or an A will really help your average for your college applications.)

Another interesting subject could be to analyze the use of youtube and internet advertising in the political world as we've seen over the past couple of years.

Ah.. the joy of writing your SRP :D
Well i think doing it about day9 is a pretty good idea!
The obvious two classes to include would be psychology & English. For us it was okay to have English as one of the classes, if you just wrote in english, but you should consult your teachers about that.
For the psychology aspect, you could talk about how some people work to improve a community through new media (Modern technology) & how improving yourself as a gamer helps with developing yourself as a person, by increasing selfesteem and whatever you can come up with! :D

Just a few thoughts from my end ^^ GL M8

Yea i agree, we all love day9 because of his passion for the community we are a part of, but anyone outside of this community would not understand or appreciate what he does on the same level. Unless your target audience are a bunch of SC2 fans i think there are better options.

I love day9 and have seen every daily ( since the sc2 ones started and some bw ones) and the way he reaches people through his casts is wonderful, but that experience is not nearly as powerful if your aren't interested in the subject matter. If someone did a project on a gardening stream you probably wouldn't give a shit unless you were an avid gardener.

Thanks for the feedback.

It is good to hear some different opinions. but i am afraid that some of u might be right: most dont care about gaming and thus it is hard to get a good grade.
However i havnt given up and dont have a better plan B so for now i will still think about how to do it.

BTW i would so dig a gardening Dirt9 show, that would be awesome

This. Doing it explicitly on day9 has the "fanboy"-image written all over it - that's the same as if doing something on reallife sports where you'd only write about your favourite team.

Nevertheless (coming from someone who has already finished university) I think it would be a great research subject to analyze livestreaming "for free"; you could easily include esports but just going away from youtube and analyzing the recent trend of "live"streaming. Social Science and/or psychology would be perfect because there are real "scientific" studies about the phenomena which is experiencing something "live" - here you could refer to a more general setting, say, write an introducing chapter about the differences of watching a soccer-match on TV "live" compared to "recorded". Just general psychology about how people experience something in a different way if they know this is "happening right now".
Then you could switch over to the models of livestream, ustream, etc., describe how they work and WHY they work (meaning, how they fund themselves etc.). Esports could be included from there on as one example. Especially ESL-TV which is quite big already.

mathematics for sure. however, deriving the actual mathematical formulas for the daily will be hard.
psychology could work for strategy.

Yea i am writing that same project, although i havent decided on a topic yet.

I think you should choose social science (samfundsfag?) and english as the other one. Maybe Danish aswell if you're more comfortable with that.

And yea i'd write about livestreaming aswell, plenty to write about with some of the online suicides and such, and then you could just use Day9 as an example of livestreaming.

If wishes were horses we'd be eating steak right now.

I'd agree with people on choosing a broader subject description lineout. You need something which you can actually analyze and then later on refer to when viewing everything from different angles and a bigger picture.
Analisys of a single persons work is fine if you're doing a review on a poet or the author of some famous books, but is less than desirable when you're going to have to write 20 pages about it.

You can always limit yourself somewhat in the introduction to your project, so making sure you have enough to work with before you can actually begin writing is more important at that point than limiting yourself.

The question reads to me as being very narrow and personal in its focus. To me that screams Day[9] as opposed to livestreaming in general.

Of course i always overanalysed questions at University. I tended to pick them apart and spend a significant amount of time padding my word count with what could be dismissed as semantic rubbish.

Whatever works for you I guess. Personally, I would not be risking my finals result on the topic of someone who uses a webcam to discuss video games. (Before army of Day9 fans murder me) - I do like Day9 as much as the next man, it's just not stimuli I'd be using to write my finals on. Simmilar to referencing your PC game achievements on a job resume.

None the less, all the best regardless of your decision.
I see the want to in your eyes.

Slightly off topic but I read that whole article. IMO its come from a very poor source, I mean its a great article supporting day[9], but the lady says that she children never went to school and haven't learned the traditional way, learning from gaming and t.v. etc... Like how is that possible they were not eve home schooled.

Social science.

Easy to talk about the new age of communication, how Day9 in his passion for games connect people from across the world, different social, cultural, religios and ethnic background through his cheer passion and genuinity of love towards a common ground; Virtual enteirtainment.

The thought for gamers and nerds everywere that someone "gets" them, and not only that, can stand for it with such cheer passion that no one could call it negative of him to do so, that makes alot of people feel a connection to Day9 and through him; Others like themselves across the globe.

I don't think anyone I've shown Day100# hasn't been moved by it.

social science/history: Day9 is a math major and he decided to pursue online gaming. I think Idra decided to forgo.. physics ? to pursue online gaming. Then you can branch into how other math/physics guys go into building computer algorithms to trade the stock market rather than do 'sciency' stuff.

Psychology: about them growing up sharing the sc frenzy, and their mom joining them and supporting them (when many parents would just scold them)

maybe this?

That's a very good approach to raising kids and see what it produced!

day9 #100 is perfect for that.
