Sexual Images In Media

Advertisement 1:

Value: Women As Sexual Objects









This advertisement shows codes of genders such as submissiveness, and needing protection. The way the woman is posing, and how she is dressed shows a nervous, scared look, but also trying to be sexy.
In this advertisement, they make it look like the women is a sexual object, which I'm against and that she is dependant on men.

 Advertisement 2:

 Value: Male Domination Over Women is Natural & Sexy








This advertisement shows codes of genders such as needing protection and the feminine touch. It makes the women look like she needs the man, that she's dependant of him and that the man is just kind of careless and in his own mind.

 Advertisement 3:

 Value: Women would sell sex whenever they could

This advertisement shows codes of genders such as the feminine touch, withdrawl from the world and submissiveness. It shows the women as a "sexy" object. The ad makes the women look like a "whore" type. They're using her to get people to read the message of it, or to get viewers. They know it'll catch the viewer's attention.

 My Thoughts
In my opinion, I think it is inappropriate for advertisers to use the same elements that can be found in pornography. It makes a different outlook or image for the people being used. It's something they didn't sign up for, if they wanted to be in pornography they would be. I think it is using people for unnecessary reasons to get attention or viewers. Advertisements and pornography should be set aside from each other. They are categorized as two different things, so why include things that would be shown in pornography in advertisements?

MEDIA LITERACY

MEDIA LITERACY       FIRST VIDEO: WHAT IS MEDIA LITERACY? IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THIS VIDEO IS  1) OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH MEDIA AND  2) THE MAIN CORPORATION IS TO MAKE MONEY    PEOPLE'S RELATIONSHIP WITH MEDIA IS SOMETIMES OVERWHELMING.  SOME             PEOPLE HAVE THEIR OPINION EVERYWHERE, LITERALLY. THEY ALWAYS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, WHETHER IT'S NEGATIVE OR POSITIVE. OR EVEN SOME PEOPLE HAVE AN ADDICTION TO MEDIA. THEY CAN'T GO WITHOUT IT, WITHOUT HAVING A MELTDOWN.  IN OTHER CASES, THERE'S PEOPLE THAT AREN'T REALLY UP WITH THE SOCIAL MEDIA, THEY'RE JUST NOT INTO IT, OR MAYBE THEY DONT KNOW MUCH ABOUT IT. WITH ME, MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MEDIA IS FAIR. I DON'T USE A LOT OF IT BUT I DO HAVE AN IDEA ABOUT IT ALL. THE MAIN SOURCE OF MEDIA I USE IS FACEBOOK. I USE IT TO CONNECT WITH FAMILY THAT'S NOT NEAR ME, ETC.   THE COMPANIES THAT OWN MEDIA, THEIR MAIN CORPORATION IS TO MAKE MONEY. THERE'S SOME ARTICLES YOU SEE ON FACEBOO

Final Assignment: Media Awareness Video

Examples of Awareness videos I think are effective: Bullying Awareness Video https://youtu.be/itUQIUMX9wg The effectiveness of this video is strong. It is about a girl who is bullied, she becomes depressed in time. At the end, it shows her about to kill herself. The actions used worked well. It catches the viewers eyes. Adding in the worm's eye view camera shot of the little girl, and the voice over during the video worked well. When it shows the rope, you get the vibe of what she's going to do, and having the voice over rather than her talking in the video is a good effect. Drug Awareness Video https://youtu.be/dkAx9xIW2gs This video is about people who used drugs, the consequences of using drugs, and how they got away from the drugs. The fact that they used a student, and a military man as the users makes it all the more effective. The part where it has the voiceover of the father of the student adds effectiveness. It can catch the
