The main difference between global and local revision is that in global revision, there is a more significant change between the two drafts. Global revision occurs when you change something on a more broad, larger level, such as revising the purpose or main concept of a piece. On the other hand, local revision is changing a smaller, less significant detail in the piece while the overall purpose/concept remains the same. For example, the example of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger that we heard in class represented global revision because the music videos for each sample that we saw promoted completely different concepts. The first video of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger was by the original artist Daft Hands, and the video of the hands spelling out the words of the song provided a unique message. However, in the second video of the same song remixed by Kanye West, you could still hear the basic influence and melody of the original song by Daft Hands, but the concept and style of the song and video was completely different because it took on a more rapper/gangster feel to the overall purpose.
The examples of Apologize that we listened to in class represented local revision because the overall purpose and the videos remained the same in each version. The thing that changed was the sound of the song based on the instruments that were being used. Therefore, this represents local revision because only a specific detail (the sound of the song) was altered, rather than the entire overall purpose of the song.
