Media studies is a course which teaches you practical things about.. well media studies. It teaches us about graphic designing and its component like how font can effect the look of an magazine and much more. We are also taught about Film making like how to make film opening and music video. After studying media studies we are able to analyze each clip critically and understand its meaning like which camera moment was used in that scene and why, why was the camera angle low extra. we can understand what goes through the director mind before each shot and how each shot are planed which are made into movies and tv shows which we love to see today. After understanding the core principle of media we can produce things way better which can be even small thing as a birthday video. This is what media studies is for me.
