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
I totally understand what you mean about watching a movie and seeing product placement. My mind just seems to want to categorize everything, so I notice these things a LOT more now.
ReplyDeleteSometimes media literacy means realizing that the views we see of advertised productions don't just happen, that they're carefully placed.
