Lockdown - Tuesday Classwork - Case Study Slideshow

 Hi guys,

Today you are going to create a resource for yourself for Power and the Media that will be excellent for studying.

You are going to create a SLIDESHOW PRESENTATION using a blog tool to collate the following information in a creative, visually effective way;

ARTICLE FOR WHO OWNS THE MEDIA 

Big Picture Arguments for POWER AND THE MEDIA 

- who owns the media? (use the handout I gave you to make a summary of the conglomerates that own the media worldwide (include details like market share and who the subsidiaries are of the big ones)

- The audience is now able to represent themselves on platforms like YOUTUBE. Use Youtube case study notes (details from yesterday's research) to back this claim up. 

- The audience is now able to represent themselves on social media platforms (use Instagram / Facebook info that you researched from when you did your Music Video to show how popular these platforms are, how many users they have and what sort of power this gives the audience in terms of interacting with media)

- Hollywood although powerful is taking the audience's views into consideration. Black Panther is our example of Disney's move in the 'right' direction and including a more diverse cast. Create a slide that has all the details of Black Panther (director, year it was released, A-list actors, reception by audience (what was it rated on Rotten Tomatoes? what did critics say about it?). Disney is also responding to audience demands by removing scene from Dumbo and taking SOTS out of circulation. 

- "Women are now able to represent themselves in a more diverse way, although Hollywood has a long way to go in terms of getting women into roles of power in the movie industry." Use articles given to you and research we did to look at women in film and detailed examples of women in Music Videos (who directed them, who is the artist, who produced them?) Compare and contrast to women in R & B videos a few decades ago.

- " although audiences have more power with proliferation of internet and Web 2.0, Big Tech still holds considerable power". Give examples of when Youtube has censored content it deems to be 'misinformation' or 'harmful. Use the Trump banned from FB  and Sky News suspended from Youtube examples. Comment on how the shift is being made from platforms being free platforms to being editorials and publications with editors of content.

- " technological developments have meant that technology is cheaper and more accessible, this means that more people are able to represent themselves online and have a say when representations they identify with, don't align with who they believe they are."  What are some stats about how many people have technological devices, how long they spend on it and interaction with internet?
