Journal Entry 6

1. What CST and IST grade what you allocate yourself for this project? Justify your response. In this projct I would give myself an B. Our movie was good but it wasn’t okay because we had troubles with blue screening and it wasn’t reolved. We also had troubles with group members and I should have done better myself.
2. What could you do tonight that would improve your grade?I can’t really do anything because the project is over however doing this journal really helps.
3. What grade do you think your team will give you for teamwork? Why?I think that for teamwork my group will give me a low A or high B because I put the effort in and tried my best but I should have done things better like spread the work around
4. Thinking about your presentation on Monday, what do you need to do to score an “A” grade? (hint: Look at the presentation skills). What could you do before Monday, to ensure you receive an “A”?

I would need to use appropriate language, eye contact, voice projection and knowledge of the project.

Journal 5

·       What influences your values about issues relating to your life?

 

·       Do you ever compare images/values presented by the media to those of the bible? If so why? If not why not?

·       Has this project challenged you to examine your values? Why / Why not

Things that influence my values on issues are mostly my Family. Family comes first and also the people who I Love that mean the most to me. My School comes next as they taught me some of my values

The only thing I relate to the Media to the Bible would be all the bad things that have happened which relates to Satan and the Apocyalpse which is what the world is becoming.

It sort of does because it keeps me in line. To see some things on the news helps me toavoid them as seeing what they have done to people and communities

Journal 4

·       How do you feel the media portrays social justice issues?

 

·       Has it been difficult to find articles on social justice issues why/why not?

 

·       Do you think that the media operates from a moral framework? Give evidence by using your research. 

 

I think That Social justice is portrayed quite well by some media such as ” A Current Affair” and “60 Minutes” but not enough. Alot of the major brands in some way contribute to social Justice issues which are things such as Nike and their advertising but in actual fact cause alot of pain and suffering to people in third world countries.

 

It seems easy to find articles on some social justice issues because it’s global and big and apart of our world. Our issue seems to be the one were we can not find anything on. Its is harder yet agian to find two articles that contradict each other so we can present on that.

 

I think that most of the media focuses on a moral framework but every now and again you find one aspect of the media that makes the whole thing like it has the morality of a criminal. There was once a thing about a boy named Corey Delany who through a big party in Melbourne and damaged alot of property. At First the media was quite strict and making him out to be a lowlife but then he became famous and then newspapers started publishing what he was wearing and where to buy them from which is totally immoral.

Entry Document

The media provides much of the information we use to make decisions about our lives. Whether it is our daily newspapers, television news, radio, music or entertainment, the media influences our personal and social values and ethics. But how reliable are the media reports that shape our views of the world?

Media Watch is Australia’s leading forum for media analysis and comment. Media Watch has built an unrivalled record of exposing media shenanigans and turns the spotlight onto those who literally ‘make the news’: the reporters, editors, sub-editors, producers, camera operators, sound recordists and photographers who claim to deliver the world to our doorsteps, radios, computers and living rooms.

However, the ability to identify, analyse and comment on unethical media broadcasts is difficult and media watch often requires tip offs from the general public. To improve upon this process, Media Watch is launching the “Have your say?” program which will provide individuals with the opportunity to be just like ‘Jonathon Holmes’ in constructing their own Media Watch episodes to be aired on the Media Watch website or other video streaming sites such as youtube.

ABC are excited with this program as it will give the general public the opportunity to discover for themselves how reliable the media reports that shape many of our views of the world?

Furthermore, in adhering to the hype that has been generated by the world youth day the theme of the current episodes will be on ‘social justice’. A list of suitable topics will be provided at a later date. However, often the best Media Watch reports are the ones that are discovered often underneath the fabrication, deception and dishonesty.

Important – All episodes must follow the structure set out in the submission criteria!

Submission Criteria:

1.) Must select a relevant social justice issue presented in contemporary media.
2.)Provide researched examples of how this social justice issue has been presented across a range of different media.
3.) Using the media examples, critique how the media attempt to influence our values and ethics on this social justice issue.
4.) Compare and contrast your own values and attitudes with those demonstrated by the media on the issue.
5.) Provide relevant Church teachings that support your values and attitudes.
6.) A 1 page synopsis of your theme and summary of research is to be provided before production of the episode can start.
7.) Episodes must not exceed 10 minutes.
8.) All episodes must be created and edited using digital hardware and software.
9.) All episodes must be uploaded to the specified website.

Final Presentation

Each episode will be presented to a panel of THREE judges and after this presentation individuals will be required to respond to the following question.

How could they respond practically to the challenges raised by this current social justice issue?
