I would say that I have learned quite a bit in media studies 120. It was a really great course and I’m glad that I chose to take it. Not because there wasn’t a whole lot of work and projects, just because I gained a better understanding of how the media works. ... One of the first things we talked and learned about in the class were the four principles: All media is constructed, All media uses forms, codes, and conventions, All media has ideologies and values, and that All media have commercial interests. ... After taking this class I don’t look at television and adds the same way anymore, I always have to think about the methods they’re trying to use to draw me in, and I think this has made me a better consumer, and I’m not going to go out and buy a specific product just because I saw a “cool” commercial for it on TV. ... I leaned a lot from that exercise. And whenever we watched it over again, it began to seem less and less real, and now when I watch movies and television shows I sometimes have to try and make myself not think about how the scenes were created, because it takes away from the experience.
