Media literacy

Two Critical Reflections:

Media literacy is the practice of admission, exploring, assessing, and producing messages in a diversity of different media forms. (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_literacy). Another definition of media literacy is the critical knowledge of the nature of the media, the methods used by them and the influence of these methods. (www.mediaawareness.ca/english/resources/educational/teaching_backgrounders/media_literacy/glossary_media_literacy.cfm).In my opinion it’s very important for a FCM student to have the knowledge of media literacy. Creative multimedia is a major that people get the chance to create and produce art; art in different forms such as movies, music, design, and etc. We learn what to expect from media and the viewers of media. Throughout the course we learn to evaluate, analyze, communicate, and produce messages using different sources of media. As a FCM student my self, this knowledge will help me to be a successful designer in the upcoming future.
