Media Literacy

A intertexuatly is the shaping of texts meanings. the reason we use magazines and other different kinds of objects is because they all have different subliminal messages that are sent in them. Some magazines Ads at times advertise a certain message or object but have way deeper undertone in what they are really trying to portray. Even though some companies are supposed to be more family oriented than others they all still use the same different types forms in which they send there message which is either with sex, money or power.

Preparing For A Career In Media


The one chapter in the Media guide that stood out to me was chapter 3 which was called "Preparing For A Career In Media". this chapter is about different steps or tips that can help you start your quest for a job in media and communications. This chapter helps learn before i begin my career all the needed steps that can help me reach my goal. The first step is to first have a good career planning. Which means making sure you know where you wanna go and what needed steps are needed to be taken to reach there. It also gives you a good idea of having a notebook or journal throughout your journey so you can always write down anything you learn or any ideas you may come across and would not want to forget. I know that for me becoming a videographer/filmmaker is going to be long journey. i hope to finish my bachelors then enroll myself into New york Film academy. New york film academy is very prestigious film school that teaches you deeply everything you need to know about filmmaking and cinematography. I hope to get into this school and excel and then hopefully get an internship into a very nice video production company.
