Point of View - clarification

Group:  tell me more about point of view for my thinking cap this week.
Is the intention that you capture VARIOUS pov's or is the intention that you (somehow) point to the ONE pov which you depict?  Just comment with thoughts about this to help me better understand your needs and find suitable movies to show and discuss.  thx.

'How to Network in the Film Industry in Effective Way' Idea

Hey, everyone!
For the Social Media project, how about if we work on 'How to Network in the Film Industry in the Most Effective Way?' I know it's pretty straightforward of a project but I deeply believe it will benefit us all and not just that, I think we can work on it to its full potential in a matter of the three months that we have. What do you think?  Batsheba or Zalikha

creative advertiament

Tuesday - tomorrow

Bring last week's  and this week's McLuhan (bring first week's if you didn't re-submit it already)
Bring four term definitions from Wu's book "The Master Switch"
Post the + or - of media from classroom exercise last week.
Read over these posts - no new comments?  no new posts?  Did you join?  Do you have an interest in media?  Did you follow the story about the FCC?  Did you look at the new "links we like"?  Did you "vote" for Best Film?  Did you begin to "play" in this social media?

Next week:  due March 4
The Master Switch
A for Angels:  the beginnings of radio (Chapter 2)                 A  Zhuo    JJ            Zalikha
B for Beauteous:  the beginnings of the telephone (Chapter 3) B  Vasha  Nadeen     JD
C for Creatives:  the beginnings of film (Chapter 4)               C  Lucy   Dimitrius  Christy
Your Job as a Team could divide up like this:
1. one presenter of the major concepts, major names - maybe you have a handout for the class
2. one presenter of the timeline of events - oral
3. one creator of a 1-2 page highlights - maybe one person is "behind the camera" and creates the text

It's interesting that this was a "Kickstart" project and got funded very quickly:  shower w your phone!

Mitso's film

2.       Discriminatory network
3.       Kronos effect
3.       Schumpeter:  who is he; for what is he famous
