After the last few minutes of the last documentary from last class (a lot of lasts) please move to the lab to complete the following:
A. Check out the post below on "Is a Career in Media Studies for You?" Complete the assignment as stated.
B. Then, check out the post Technology Presentation Project and complete that assignment as written.
Important vocabulary terms:
Convergence: the changes and merging that has occurred in media content over time. One meaning refers to technology and another to business. Thus, the printing press (books in print) later developed into online digital books or the eReader.
Cross platform: consolidating various media companies or holdings in business. Disney, for example, does more than make animated films. Learn more about the Disney Corporation and their holdings here. Disney is a "cross platform" media company.
Narrative: storytelling & the process of storytelling.
High Culture: superior products that consumers consume; often labeled Art (capital A). Examples include: opera, the works of Mozart or Shakespeare, the films of Orson Welles, classical music, ballet, in some cultures: live theater; The New Yorker magazine, NPR, etc.
Low Culture: inferior products that consumers consume; often labeled popular culture or craft (as opposed to Art). Justin Beiber, Stephanie Myers' Twilight series, WWF, Kim Kardashian, The Apprentice, Grand Theft Auto, America's Got Talent, etc.
Modern Period: The Industrial Revolution through WWII.
Progressive Period: 1890's through 1920's--The time period setting in The Great Gatsby is a good example.
Postmodern Period: 1945 - now.
You should be familiar with the skyscraper model of culture and the map model of culture. Also, be familiar with the five steps in the critical process: description, analysis, interpretation, evaluation, and engagement (see handout).
There may be a quiz/test on new vocabulary next class. Hmm. There could be. Write these terms and make sure you have them in your notes! Remember to check last our last post as well.
