Task 7
Welcome to this week’s task!
Communication has come a long way over the years. We have gone from mailing letters to texting…from talking to friends face-to-face to talking to strangers virtually. We can all agree that personal communication has changed because of
media
. Media not only allows us to send and receive information quickly, it also allows us to enjoy and share entertainment.

from your textbook
“Chapter 15: Media, Technology, and Communicationâ€Â

Now that you have read about media, new media, and refreshed your memory on perception, it’s time to get started on this week’s project.
Choose
a movie to watch this week. It can be any movie of interest to you.
Then,
watch
the trailer for that movie.
Compare and contrast
the movie trailer with the actual movie. What did the movie trailer portray accurately about the movie (from your perception)? What did it portray differently?
