ReplyDelete1. What is meant by - "the medium is the message"?
“The medium is the message” refers to how the medium of communication influences an audience’s perception of of the content or message.
2. Why is this phrase more relevant in your world today? Think - the answer is not in the article
This phrase is more relevant in our world today, because social media and technology are used in our everyday lives now. Social media allows for a much larger audience to obtain information and communicate in a short amount of time; this makes this phrase way more relevant.
3. "Being visually literate is a prerequisite in today's world," - - explain how this statement applies to you.
Being visually literate applies to me, because it’s exactly how our world communicates these days. It helps us be able to cross linguistic and cultural borders, resulting in us being able to make our audience larger.
4. What are are the skills mentioned in the article that you have learned? Which skill is most relevant to you?
Skills mentioned in this article that I have learned include stop-motion animation and digital design. I believe the skills that are most relevant to me would be digital design and movie-making.
5. Why did the students that chose the documentary think they were taking the "easy path" when they were given a choice? Why did they have to work harder?
The students who chose the documentary thought that they were taking the ‘easy path’, because they were under the impression they wouldn’t have to do much writing or put much thought into it. Documentaries, however, are much more complex than writing an essay, play, a website, or a movie. They had to work harder, because they not only had to research about the topic, but they also had to do storyboarding, scripting, filming, and editing.
6. What "bases" are covered (academically) by producing a film?
The academic bases that are covered by producing a film are creative thinking, technical knowledge, long-term planning, short-term planning, etc.
7. What are the "soft" "skills" acquired when learning and then producing a film?
The ‘soft skills’ acquired when learning and then producing a film include collaborating, delegating, articulating ideas, planning, and compromising. As Deayton said, if you lack teamwork skills, that might be a huge problem.
