Week 9 Tutorial Reflection
During the week, Cheyenne, Aidan and I decided to focus on how conflict is portrayed by media, across history. Aidan found interest in interactive media, especially video games and their presentation of war and conflict. Cheyenne focused her medium of audio into broadcast radio and news coverage which lead into depictions of war through radio. I researched video as a medium and how it was utilised during war times to broadcast propaganda to the mass public to win their favour and turn them against the enemy. I also interested in comics and superheros as vessels for partiotism, especially Superman as he was a fictional figurehead in the fight against Nazi Germany. I have begun to focus on Superman as a character portrayed in comics and will research his adaption to the silver screen to show how mediums interact with each other.
