Welcome to the Blog!

 Today, on November 4th, 2021, I will have created my first post on my AICE Media Studies blog. This blog will serve as a way that I can track my progress in the course. As a result of the few months that I have already spent in this course, I have already formed some of my expectations for the future of this course. These include: being able to determine a producer’s intentions behind placing certain code in a media text, being able to analyze media texts to be able to fully interpret a media text. 

Overall, I just expect to be able to leave this class being able to fully interpret media, which can be done by the understanding how signs and codes work within films. This, in turn will allow me to enjoy it more.

Some media texts, which have an intricate plot, I often found that I was unable to understand what was going on at any given time. The amount of media I've had to consume, has helped me improve my ability to do this.
