In the last two MTN visits I learned alot about the critical thinking that goes into creating a piece of media. The first presentation really illustrated what goes on in the background of a shot. There is alot more to a shot than what is in the main view of the camera. What goes on in the background of the shot is important in setting the mood, creating the setting and getting across a message. I also learned about how to create media. There are many steps involved in producing media starting with brainstorming and usually ending in editing the film.
I plan on using a commercial for my visual communications critique. There is usually alot of thought put into commercials because there is alot of money on the line.
Media literacy is very important. Media plays tricks to get you thinking how they want you to think. Being literet can help you filter through media's tricks and get to the true massage. Media has so much control on society and it is important for us to be able to think for ourselves.
