POST 5- TOUGH GUISE

  

Zac Efron portrays Troy Bolton in the tween hit High School Musical. Throughout the triliogy Troy must make decisions on who he wants to be. The basketball guy or the singer. Especially in the first movie Troy stuggles to make his mind up on who he wants to be. He feels pressure from his basketball team to be the "man" and "team captain". The team also says he can not be both the basketball star and the singer because its too "twinkle town". The team and his father (the coach) all convey that being a singer is too feminine for a basketball star.

POST 4-CONCEPT 4

In this episode, Sheldon believe he can prove knows all the ingredients of Pringles chips. A whole quarky discussion is taken place about Pringles and multiple shots are taken of the product in multiple peoples hand. I believe the product placement is effective because it is used in humorous ways by sheldon and the cast. The cast and writers are very good at making a small, ineffective topic become a primary source for a whole 30 minute show.

POST 3- "10 Minutes"

          This short film was very dramatic, intense and depressing. To me it means that a lot can happen
in a short amount of time, some more significant then others. (Family being killed>photos being developed).



 

          The lesson I think everyone can learn from this flim is that time is of the essense. You do not get alot of it therefore take from it what you can. Also to remember that time is precious and that some people are living in a world like the war zone showed in the film. Where in the short time of 10 minutes, that little boy's life was changed forever. And on the other side of the world, 10 minutes was seen as the shortest time that the man could get his photos developed.

 

Everyone can learn to not waste time and make the best of the time they have.

 

POST 1- MEDIA LITERACY UNDERSTANDING

               I believe media literacy is something you take away from media education. Learning how to look through,comparing and contrasting messages and themes in everyday life. It's asking questions and looking not just for an answer but the answer. It's also constructive critical analyzing of all types of media. It's also learning the importance of studying media and why we are interested in it. It's also awareness of the media and learning the quality not quantity of media were are using individuals.
