300 words of media study

In today’s lesson, I have learn about the difference of female and male in the media word and also how to represent something to make different types of people to follow their way without the media and with just by photos and text.

All media text are are re-presenting of reality. This means that are intentionally composed, lit, written, framed, cropped, captioned, branded, targeted and censored by their producers. ( This sentence is from the notes I have taken from class. ) This sentence means that nearly all of the media text is what is happening in the world around us, without it never even understand or know what was going on all around the world. But media text is not easy to make, they need to be composed, lit, written, framed, cropped, captioned, branded, targeted and censored by their producers.

When we are looking at a wildlife video or reading a news article, behind the scene, the producer of the media text only selected a certain area of information for us to know. What they had selected is what we received when we read or watch the media text.

For the gender part, it was a very interesting subject which everyone make funs out of it. But I have learned that gender difference could make a huge difference of media text. For example, when a thin man walk across a book stall and saw a magazine cover with a six pack man on the cover with his handsome face and shiny white teeth, he will obviously want to be like him. This image will drive the man to buy the magazine and that is what the producer of the media wants. Different kinds of magazine have different kinds of effect on different people and that id the main point of having media text. Media text could change people’s minds and thoughts.
