A Trip to The Moon Response

                                                     A TRIP TO THE MOON

            

             This was all new to me, it was such an old video, and apparently the first actual movie ever made, which was cool to think about. It was truly a gem, a monument to the evolution of today’s media and the film industry. It almost seemed as if this was more interesting than any Scatter plot Michael Bay film. I have seen bits and clips from times in my childhood, but this was the first time I view the entire 1902 movie. Laughably the "astronauts" are all dressed in street clothes on the moon, waving and then simultaneously drawing blankets over themselves as human faced stars of the Big Dipper look at them. I also recall after some research the creator of the movie, Georges Méliès' was a professional magician which is where the alien creatures disappearing into poufs of smoke is from, bringing out his old roots. It was a fun experience and I hope to view many more films like this and gain some knowledge of early years of film revolution.            

           

Bronswik Affair

                                                   The Bronswik affair's effect

The Bronswick affair, a 1960's Mock-Documentary Showing one simple Idea... People are easily manipulated. A Television set, The Bronswick Brand was implemented with a small device called a Manipulode, it disrupted a though processing system in your mind and made you think (and buy) way more than you needed. The "Mocumentary" was easily picked apart and torn down to be fake, but it was still strong in one, the Message. Ironically, the fake story being potrayed was about the manipulation of the public, yet the main idea of the Mocumentary was to show people that they just believed a story formulated by an 8 year old with Down syndrome, but you know! As long as it's on TV it’s true! Good job to the creators of the Mocumentray, it really pushed its point well.

Examining Media

What modern Media Classification are you in?

I was given a sheet in My Media studies class, with a series of questions relating to portrayal of women and stereotyping in media. After watching a TV series, It showed me Passed and modern media is the most sexist, prejudges, monstrous thing I’ve ever seen. It was Terrible how badly women are placed and formed to be "in the kitchen, house wife" material. There was plenty of server product placements, but That isn't an issue for me. The questions really showed me the small things that are normally overlooked by everyday society, and shined a light on the classification and placement of people and ideas in media.
