Return from Winter Break

January 10, 2022

Winter Break Over winter break, which is a 2 week holiday period in America, I watched many films as I was stuck at home for the most time. This was a good time for me to reflect on what I've learned in media studies at the halfway mark in the year. Media Consumed - Invincible Season 1 - Spiderman: No Way Home - Disney's Encanto What I learned Media studies has made me seriously analytical when consuming media. I am able to notice specific aspects of a production and understand why the director decided to implement these. For example, why the director decided to include a master shot or insert shot. Media studies has also helped me with my concentration in film and my ability to follow the plot. 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.
