Basically, to sum up today, it was one of my favorite classes so far. This is because of the fact that we are not here to just further our career to become rich and famous. Our discussion on this today on this was fascinating, and I agree with everything we went over. We are not here to just learn some stuff and strive to become instant "Hollywood". This is an example of our own pleasures for ourselves and not satisfying others. We are here to use the gifts that God has given us. Also I was reading through the blogs and there's a major point I like about what Becca said....quote... "But, it is so easy to get caught up in what is popular, and what the audience wants to see, rather than what they need to see. I mean think about it, do you think God gave you this artistic ability to make you famous and glorify yourself, or to to glorify Him and make His name known?"... I couldn't agree more. We don't need to be in a mess of pleasing yourself and using what is popular to become "Hollywood". We need to use the talents and gifts that God has given us to again GLORIFY HIM! There is nothing else better than that. What better way to spread God's love than through media. This was the intention I had when I wanted to pursue in a media career and come to Huntington, knowing that I want to do it for God.
Another thing I want to touch on for today was the idea around "Having children in the room creates a different aspect on presenting media and can make a story it's best" This I totally agree on as well. If you were to present media to a group of children, what would you present? You wouldn't use super violence, cursing, basically sinful nature. No way, no way. You wouldn't present any of that. Ignoring this presents just a good chunk of media. Not particularly pointing to Disney on some aspects, but they present a good chunk of media in ways. This is just something to think about.
