Since the start of this semester and class I have noticed myself being more perceptive of what I watch and how I watch it. I have always been one to notice certain things in media such as movies or television shows. After the first month of taking this course I now relate parts of movies or tv shows together. I have also found myself watching the news lately and noticing the extreme exagguration they take when giving the news, in order to seem more interesting and gain more viewers. For example this week I watched part of the political debate and notice many news channels over exaggerating or emphasizing on one specific detail in order to persuade the audiences mind. I find most of this type of media to be displeasing. For one they try and tell the viewer what they want them to believe. It also does no good criticizing or disrespecting other ideas being said. Other media I have examined this week I saw how editing greatly disoriented reality. In one show I was watching the previews where shown in a way to make the audience think something bad was going to happen to the character. But in actuality the two scenes were completely different scenes. I now know this is to keep the viewer in suspense and watch the episode to find out what actually happens. It is just another way to gain the audiences attraction. In a cartoon I also watched I noticed how the developers stilled images to lengthen the time of the episode or dilemma. In order to keep the story or season going.
