What stuck with me the most from the lecture was that if you write for an intended audience that audience will eventually come. I really want to write TV shows in the future but I have always been worried that n0 one will like what I create. TV shows need a strong cult following to continue over a few seasons. So this little idea has changed the way I’ve though about creating films or television series. Thinking about your intended audience is a lot more important than I thought in high school. Whenever we had to write a paragraph on who our intended audience is and why I thought it was a waste of time. I just wanted to skip that part and get onto writing a script. Of course creating something for a specific audience doesn’t guarantee you success, but it will definitely help.

Also, print media seemed to be attacked quite a bit in the lecture. Is print really dead? Of course digital media will become more popular but I for one still prefer to read a book in it’s printed form than on a Kindle or a laptop screen. My eyes just can’t focus on a digital screen for so long. Perhaps it’s because as I was growing up we didn’t read picture books off screens and books are just what I’m used to. Maybe in the future, since little kids all seem to be carrying around iPads these days, people will grow up more used to reading off a screen.
