Class highlights

In JOURN 2 I learned a lot of things about media literacy. I no longer can watch a movie the sam because of what I learned on product placement. When I see an ad in a movie I scream out "oh look, look product placement."  It would no longer be the same when im watching TV or seeing a movie and it wont be the same for my friends because they have to hear me say that everytime I see product placement. The first amendment is a big part in media because it basically means that you can put anything that you want out there for the public to see and if someone gets upset then oh well theres nothing you can do about it because there protected from the First Amendment.
Shameless product placement

Media Ethics/Media Law

In October 27, 2012 a student from Thailand was trying to earn extra money but instead was sued for copyright because he was selling foreign editions of textbooks online. He lost the case but later appealed to the Supreme court with many arguments like intellectual property and owners rights. I thought this case was really interesting because it relates to my experience in college because it is expensive and students would try to do anything just to get some extra money in our pockets,

Internet

I use the Internet all the time for all sorts of things but the most I use it on is probably gaming. I wouldn't want to be online dating with anyone I just think its weird because behind the computer the person can be anybody. My friend is addicted to online shopping, she is always talking about her deals that she finds online and all the good clothes she finds that's not at stores. She has a problem because she spends almost her entire pay checks on online shopping at Nordstrom, Abercrombie and Fitch etc. Now she has some what resolved her problem because she limits the amounts of money she can use for online shopping.

Movies

My favorite movie in 2013 is Iron Man 3. It was a very thrilling movie to watch and it kept me hooked through out the whole 2 hour 30 minute movie. My all time favorite movie is holes, based on the book. I've watched holes over 100 times and still haven't gotten tired of watching Stanley yelnats live in a correctional camp.

Magazines

Comicholics magazine
Concept:
It is a magazine that shows the people's voted super hero of the week and where new comics can be advertised. It's like the game former magazine but for comic books.

Readers:
It should atract all ages of comic book readers male and female. Any comic book lover who wants to find out what's up in the comic industry.

Competition:
This magazine shows comics instead of games so its different then other magazines that are out there but  Our closest competion will be gameformer and other video game magazines because they also show some characters in comics

I would include: the hot new comic releases that happen that month, the months top seller, the super hero of the week, new comics in the future, background stories to new comics.

My cover shows what's this issue about and who is the winner of the superhero of the week. I really liked this superman picture that I found and so I thought it was a good expression to show that Superman won the hero of the week.

Books

In the past I have read plenty of books but the three most influential ones are Lord of the Flies,  Macbeth and Bless me Ultima. In lord of the flies, kids are stranded on an island where they turn on each other and become animals. I think it's trying to send a message about war and how it turns normal people into animals and how unnecessary it is. In Macbeth I learned that there's always someone out there trying to plot against you and you should be catiuous with others. In Bless me Ultima, it thought me a lot about religion and what I think about it. This book showed that people don't always fall into a category that people expect them to be in but you can change because of all the different things out there.
