Media literacy
The information I felt most important from the two videos were; media literacy is about accessing it and creating it and audiences are targeted by different advertisers because they know other people have different points of views and opinions. Another important point mentioned in the videos was that all media messages are organized to gain profit and or power. These are important points because it gives the audience an insight on what media studies is and what its all about, and it also addresses the fact that different ads attract different audiences.

This is a very interesting slide show, and you have made a lot of good points revolved around the topic of sexual images. I would not change anything.
ReplyDeleteGood examples for showing off what you personally think is too far for sexualization in commercials.

ReplyDeleteGood presentation, I like how you expressed your opinion in the slides! You made good points about sexual images in media. Good job Kenzie!

ReplyDeleteOverall you made a lot of great points. i thoroughly enjoyed your project! Great job!
