YEAR 2: Media Culture ENTRY #1

CHOOSING THE RIGHT TOPIC

For this Media Culture lesson, we're given 6 topics to choose from and pick only 1 topic out of 6 and we have to make a research for it. Here are the 6 topics that are given for us to choose from,

Question ONE
Compare the advertisement of a local brand in different language editions and demonstrate how semiotics can reveal the differences and similarities between them. 

Question TWO
Explore the ideas of modernism and postmodernism in action films made in the last thirty years. By textually analysing your chosen films discuss how the ideas are presented and understood by the audience. 

Question THREE
Examine the role of women in local or regional fashion-based traditional mass media. How are women represented? Do they relate to everyday ideas and attitudes of women? 

Question FOUR
Compare and contrast a series produced locally/regionally to a thematically similar one produced in the West (America/Europe). What values and attitudes are being portrayed? How are they being portrayed and do they reflect reality? 

Question FIVE
Trace the career of an icon in the industry related to your major. Analyse the significant phases, work, and personal qualities that propelled this individual to his or her acclaimed status. Did any institutions contribute to his success or failures as well? 

Question SIX
Critically examine the popular usage of digital cameras, Photoshop, or Instagram, and its impact on professionals in the creative industry.
