Description
Prepare a final 8-10 minute recorded multi-media presentation. Your presentation should include a brief summary of one of the theories from class, and your critical analysis of a media text. By ‘media texts” we do not mean something written about the media, but rather a text that exists in the media. Appropriate texts for analysis are advertising campaigns, PSAs, news coverage of a topic in tradition media outlets (TV or print media) or social media, hashtags, films or scripted series, reality TV shows, etc.Spend approximately 1/3 of your presentation introducing the topic and describing the theory and 2/3 of the presentation applying the theory to create an original analysis of your chosen media text. Be sure to include your chosen media texts as examples, but do not let the texts “speak for themselves.” Instead, provide a clear analysis of the texts founded on your chosen theory.
