Mind Map of 1970's America

Image
The purpose of this post is to highlight the history and events of America in the 1970's; the implementation in the creation of this mind map help our group visualise the struggle and events that impacted peoples lives and how it altered the politics and society of the time period. As a result of this creation, the mind map helps my group to easily understand more about this time period which may also offer us more inspiration due to the time period from this information. Categorising points such as the image below truly paints a vivid picture and creates a widening of understanding to the construction and building of references to the societal culture. If we plan and construct a mind map of focus and widening of ideas can easily be condensed and understand the reasoning behind many factors of our music video such as costume and characters etc.

Advantages and disadvantages in using Sony Vegas

In this blog post I will be discussing and highlighting the advantages and disadvantages in the editing software (Sony Vegas) that we have been using for editing and producing our music video. Advantages: VEGAS Pro has all the features professional editors need to create their video projects.

A unique tool in this software is the VEGAS Pro Connect iPad app. The purpose of this app allows you to perform basic desktop functions on your tablet.

The Hypodermic  Theory  suggests that viewers of media content are a passive audience who are powerless to resist the impact of the messages inside the media source. Thus that they do not have any influence on the messages coming out of these media sources; this is a lot like Action Theory, in the way that messages are portrayed and noted by the receiver  of media. In a way it gets injected into audiences, hence why it is called the  hypodermic  needle model. An example of a huge event supporting this model is from the year 1938 whereby people believed there was an alien invasion because the radio version of H.G. Wells "War of the World" was broadcasted across the world. As a result of this , it caused mass panics and anxiety as an estimated 1 million US citizens to believe an invasion was in fact underway.The nation
