Actually… There are numerous Media accompanying us in our daily life that difficult to record it all one by one even we had noticed it, our smartphone is the most important and multifunction one obviously, they way we communicate with others, and having entertainment at the spare time. Also, it could be seen that brands and stores are using Media as a tool to compete with each others, such as video players stick on the wall, billboards placing in a mall, and even elevators. However, the method of sorting Media (i.e. Mid, Back and Foreground) this time had pretty confused me, was it depends on how the Media had been placed, or just the Camera Angle?
