So we were given the task of getting into groups and exploring a certain area in the city for Media 1 which was a fun little exercise. My group (fondly named ‘number 4’) was allocated Bourke Street. I guess it’s interesting thinking about what kind of Media is around us daily. As soon as we were in the street we noticed all kinds of media expression – from street art to advertising billboards. We took photos and videos for this: for example, I filmed a busker and took photos of shop fronts and so forth. At the corner of the street there was even political media expression, protestors demanding justice for Aboriginal Australians. It was an eye opener to realise how much Media we really mindlessly consume. And how it all ties back into pre-modern and modern society – all of this advertisement and promotion has never been more prominent.
