Current Relationship with Media

Introduction - My Relationship with Media


Currently, my relationship with media plays a huge part in my life and for a majority of people as well. I mostly use media to entertain myself. Whenever I get bored, I tend to go on my phone and watch videos for hours. For example, one time I was doing the list of chores my mother gave me, but I got really bored of it so I ended up going on Instagram. When I checked the time, hours went by and it was getting late, my parents were soon going to be home, and I haven't finished any of the chores I was supposed to do. Besides using media when I'm bored, I also use media as a useful source, especially when it has to do with school. I use media to help do research and whenever I feel stuck on a project or on a homework assignment, media is a way I try to communicate with others. Other times, I would use media as a way to help me mentally and physically. Whenever something was bugging me I usually distance myself from others and listen to music. Honestly, whatever type of music I listen to, it really sets my mood. For me, music helps me get pumped up before a game, gets me happy when I'm sad, or makes me even more sad. Music really helps me express how I feel and it also helps me deal with however I'm feeling, head on. I would say that at times I could be very dependent on media. I don't think media is important, but it could be very useful. Though at times, I feel like I can't live without it.

    I am completely the same way with media, it feels like I can't even live without it, but I need it in my life sometimes. It helps with school and an outlet to express my feelings, but I do need to distance myself from it when it takes up my time.

Miss Representation

In Miss Representation, it talked about how women or girls see certain things on social media and that they begin to feel the pressure towards them to meet mens ideals. Also, seeing that there's a certain way women should look like or there's a such thing of a perfect women, girls that don't dress how women should look like, they are seen as different. Because of this, they feel forced to put so much time and effort in themselves to look nice just so they can fit in with anyone else. I feel like I can connect to this because many times in my life, I know how it feels to "look" different because of how I dress. I also can relate to this because I was not happy with how I looked like and I tried so hard to look nice everyday just so I don't get made fun of or I could at least look decent looking. To this day, I sometimes catch myself trying hard to look nice so I can be noticed by others and I feel like I do this because I don't want to feel like people are

Universal Studios and Love Marks

Image
While watching this commercial about Universal Studios, we could see how spending time with family, having fun with our loved ones, and experiencing things we are missing out from were being portrayed throughout the entire message of this commercial. Because love, affect, and fun were being depicted we could clearly see how that is Universal Studios love mark and it fits the meaning of love marks, loyalty beyond reason. In the commercial it shows a family and it also displays many scenes of the rides "coming to life" to give a more exciting and adventurous feeling or emotion when we watch this commercial to make us have the urge to go and see what was being portrayed in the commercial in real life. When in reality, it might not be exactly what kids or even parents have expected on these commercials. These love marks make people connect in some type of way in order for companies to "lure" us into what they are trying to achieve in. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O
