Gottfried Helnwein questions

I see a picture of a man climbing up the face of a woman. It is an artistic image because the man had to be photoshopped onto the face. I think the artist wanted the image to be different from other photos of faces, so he used photoshop to make it more interesting. I think his intent was to entertain viewers. the difference in scale between the face and the person make the woman look so much larger and the person looks as small as an ant.

Media Literacy

Jenny is trying to portray being adventurous, successful, motivational, mysterious, and aesthetic.

I think that Jenny was successful because it showed an adventurous photo that makes you curious about what she is doing.

I think Jenny is someone who would be a good role model because she has good content that looks like she is having fun, and her pictures look motivational. I think because she travels so much, she would not be the best mother or neighbor, but she could be a good friend because she can communicate via phone.

"Lost In The World Like Me"

What is the general premise of the video?
The video shows how everyone is always on their phones, never paying attention to the real world. It shows how the world is falling apart and no one cares because their entire life is on their phones. They are so brainwashed by their phones that they watch a suicide take place, video it for social media, and walk away.
Is the video effective in conveying it's intended message?
This video is very good at conveying the intended message because it clearly paints the story that social media is an issue by showing the main character trying to get people off of their phones because he realizes that the entire world is up in flames and everything is falling apart.

Do you feel that this is more of a cautionary story (a warning) or more of an examination of our current social situation? Why?
I feel that this story is both cautionary and an examination in some ways. I do think that everyone is always on their phones, and social media is an entire world of its own, but we have not gotten to the extent that everyone is so glued to their phones that major issues of the world go right over our heads. I think that we need to pay more attention to todays issues before things get bad.
