 Power in the media

"representing ourselves in a way that we choose can be good (argued in a power in the media essay) but it can also have negative effects. Discuss this" 


  • Gives a false representation of ourselves as we hope to please people 
  • people create a public persona online in hopes to paint themselves in a good light
  • We often do these public personas due to social pressure and wanting to be popular
  • we live in a society where we've essentially centered our lives around how much attention we can get online
  • Many people are turning their private lives (and their kids lives) into public entertainment
  • Thoughts that used to be private, can now be made public to a very large audience
  • Our need for privacy is now often ignored and shared online by others
  • Digital footprints mean it is virtually impossible to make something private once it has been made public
  • There are some positives; some private issues or incidents might be made public and educate us, change our world and beliefs, get justice
  • some people are able to have multiple public personae for different platforms, sites or audiences

Our music video will be about a girl who fell apart with her friend/s and has changed as a person because of it. Our video will be about 3 minutes and we will be filming in the city, preferably close to Queenstreet. We have chosen this location as it gives a good variety and represents how our main character feels lost in a crowd of people. We will also be filming in a park in the city, which can contrast with the bustling streets as it conveys a more peaceful atmosphere and serenity  which adds some good symbolism. . Our Music video will incorporate three main threads as well as being a mixed genre (Narrative and performance) which gives our target audience different directions to focus on.
