Week 8 Tutorial Reflection
The broad scope is the most daunting aspect of Project Brief 4 yet it does allow us to focus on specific areas relating to our topic that we find interesting. Cheyenne, Aidan and I are researching mediums and today we decided to focus on three different mediums for our research and annotated bibliography. I started to research video as a medium and it became immediately clear that as the most well known medium, particularly in the Western world, it is heavily influenced by other media. Going forward, I will look at the relationships between mediums and how they are utilised to create meaning. By discussing mediums with my group, it became clear that every type uses different means to generate a desired audience reaction and this is an area I am interested in delving in to. Propaganda across mediums is something I have researched in the past and so we might focus on conflict and its portrayal across mediums through history for our project.
