Product Placement

Product placement, in my opinion, is very important and it does affect peoples decisions when it comes to buying things. It is a good way of advertising a company's product and i think it always gives a positive result. I think direct advertising is more effective because it shows the product directly to you and not a three second glance on the TV. I think if you were to use product placement in a movie, it would be effective only if it was shown many times and really obviously. Product placement is a good idea and it is a good way for companies to promote their products. I do think it effects peoples decisions when it comes to purchasing products, and if they were to think back to the movies that had the products in them, they would want them.

Media Studies

As a teenager, media is a key element in our growth. I feel as though i rely a lot on the media for information, gossip and fashion tips. What I know about media is that it is pretty powerful and it controls a lot in our society. In this class, I want to expand my knowledge on media and learn more about it. I want to learn how it controls a lot of decisions and how it can make people do things. In this first week of class, I have learned how many people are seriously affected by the media in the activities we did in class. I didn't realize how it can really make people feel bad about themselves and how issues with famous people are very publicised and how everyone talks about other peoples lives.
