1. The PSA in our media is always present. The clever schemes which illustrate serious topics are on tellevision all the time. This type of media is the kind that we need more of. these psa's do not objectify women or promote drugs, infact they do exactly the opposite. Our group has decided to focus on the use of electronics in school and the benefits of electronic devises in education. We plan to use a ball and chain to symbolize the struggle with the non-electronic complications of schooling. Eventually the ball and chain will release do to the new electronic device that I begin to use for academics. I plan to play the protagonist in our groups psa, I represent the kid who finds academic accessibility through electronics. With all the planning that our group has done so far, we hope to have a successful psa by the end of this project.

I really like the E Trade commercials with the little babies discussing stocks and bonds. They're really clever and that makes them really effective.  I'm not an E Trade customer  but Advertising does play a part in the things that I buy, especially food.

MTN and the lessons i've learned

The last MTN session was great!  I've been learning alot about film making and video work, as well as making new friends and having fun during the MTN sessions.  The clip that I am planning to use is from Ferris Buellers day off, my favorite movie.   Media literacy is the idea that one can breakdown the media and take from it the ideas that it is attempting to get across while  also breaking down the setting, tone, etcetera.
