Our group began gathering video footage for our assignment. Jess primarily held the camera and I focused on interviewing. I really enjoyed listening to my peers and prompting further discussion. It is really fun to pose similar questions to a wide audience and achieve a huge variety of opinions. This is a very "democratic approach" to surveying and presenting knowledge to others.
Most people within the Faculty of Education gladly contributed. The common movies and television shows mentioned have been Juno, Degrassi and 90210. We will definitely include important clips from these episodes in our video. In addition to this, the news coverage of Jamie Lynn Spears was also discussed.
Our group has been discussing the best way to organize the footage. It was decided that beginning with a media montage would be useful to prepare the viewer for the topic. Statistics will be infused in the video to help guide the viewer's experience. The footage will be split into three segments. First, students will provide examples of teen pregnancy in the media. Next, students will discuss the real world. Finally, the topic of health education will be explored. The aim will be to show that media images effect reality (rather than strictly reflecting reality). The final statements will be hopeful and optimistic. It will become clear that critical dissections of messages in the media is fundamental for healthy and confident youth.
