1. The silent films of this period revolutionized the film industry by pionerring the first instances of motion cinema. They are good films, they promoted thought and wonder from the first people who watched the movies. Many innovations that are evident in modern day films were ctreated here; such as color, camera movement, both voice acting and visual expression, sound, music, and narration were introduced to the film medi um. In the film, Trains Pulls In Station, the first film was published and shown in theatres. It was teh`st time motion was captured and showed to a live audience, who was afraid to see a train comming at them in real life. Film was a new thing. The Sprinkeler Sprinkled was the first instance of acting, and charlie chaplins films were the first succesul silent films. His acting allowed the audience to feel emotions protrayed by the character. All old films are dated by today, but they made films what they are today.

4 C's of Media #1 - Media as a Construct of Reality

1. and 2. - Reality in Britney Spears - Baby One More Time' is presented as a inappropriate party in your pants, all the girls just burst out of the class in provocative clothing that would never be allowed in actual school. Way more girls then guys, and teachers hardly exist, let alone any authority of any kind. No body sit in gym, and all they do is dribble basketballs. The school might as well be a play boy mansion. The bigger slut you are, the more popular/successful you are. great message!

3. The stereotypes that are the most evident in the pop song are in most others. They are the coordinated dance scenes, provocative clothing on the women, and the nonsensical random dancing for no reason. In the end, everythign is great, that usually transfers across all pop. A dance solves the conflict, with high energy beats.

4. What creeds and values? All the music video si is a random orgy of scantilly clad woman and dancing. Basically the message is that if you dance in the gym, the teachers come in and dance with you and you get an A! All sarcasm aside, it really is a terrible message for growing up teens, saying the sluttier the better of you'll be.

5. Most pop music videos, (and most music vidoes in general) are targeted to teenagers becasue they are shown to be more susceptible to being influenced by media. If aparticular girl names britney wears special brand name sweat pants, they want them too. people who want to be Brittney will buy this CD, and they wanna be her because she seem popular and successful and has an easy, unrealistic life in this videos.

6. I think this is bad music video. The quality being portrayed leaves nothing of value and questions of what kinda crack were the producers on. The take on reality this is totally skewd, everything in a slutty and to be blunt, stale lens. This has been done before. Its all great in school, it teaches girls to be sluts, to not try to get good grades since classes seem to contain nothing more then waiting for the bell to ring. A good music video leaves you feeling satisfied and you get feeling they actually tried and it was not just for money. This is the exact opposite. Product placement on the clothes everywhere, and cheap sex appeal. Not good.

The Supereme Baconator's First Post!

1. I believe that media is very important in my life, because on of my favourite things to do is too create movies with my friends. Without media, I could never even film the movie, because movies are a form of media, or share it with YouTube, the largest site for video media. I also like to play video games, and those would also be gone.

2. A few types of media a very important to me. The first one I use daily is Facebook, a form of social networking. I also love to surf the web, and that has gotta be one of the most media saturated environments around. I love to read, listen to music, watch movies, all of which are typed of media.

3. I think that modern popular culture is really annoying, I don't care about the celebrities or reality television of popular culture. One thing I do really enjoy is all the the technological advances, like facebook and mobile devices, that i use frequently. I tend to like things that I truly like, and not roll with the fake gang.

4. I am really into film media, I love to make videos with my friends, and then share then on YouTube. I watch videos all the time, and I try to learn from their camera angles and effects. It has influenced me because I used to think the only thing I liked was drawing but through filming-making i have discovered I so have a passion for making movies. This comming summer, me and my friends plan to do the biggest production we have ever done, we have planend everything for it: costumes, scripts, props, etc. So I am really excited to start that.

THATS ALL BRO!
