Media and Youth 75

Heather Wallace

We developed an understanding of the media around us

Learned how to analyze music videos, films & advertisements

We learned the different categories of music videos

We also learned about the way the youth generation is being fed to big corporations

We also learned how to translate the messages in the media

We had the chance to pick any video we wanted an anylize it. We had to point of certain things about the music video, the genre, who it's target audience was and several other things.

I chose the song: Let me hold you by Bow wow & Omarion

I pointed out that in real life both artist are very short but in this video they're the same size as everyone else.
