Today in our workshop we received our marks back for PB3 – luckily I wasn’t too disappointed.  It was actually quite a productive workshop where we all were able to improve our questions for PB4 and have some class feedback.

We then had group time to work together and develop our ideas on audience and how it’s being impacted by media’s representation of beauty.  We started putting together our footage into our video essay and found some very fitting music.  Seeing it come together and our ideas actually forming a coherent idea is very promising.  I also started scripting the audio essay, so when the time comes to focus on that we have a fair understanding of what we are going to speak about.  I think the concern with this audio essay is producing an engaging piece of audio due to the fact that we can’t rely on video footage to entertain the audience.  We have come up with the idea of inserting our own personal experience into the script so it’s raw and true.  I think this will add some legitimacy into the argument that media is negatively impacting an audience because we first handedly will tell you how we as 3 young women have been negatively impacted by media’s idea of ‘beauty’.
