Connecting to the audience

It was an eventful day because I got my teeth pulled and I took a pill and it makes you sleepy but I went to class because I didn’t want to miss any more days but I didn’t really realized that I was in the wrong class I had got my days mix up. When I realized that I quickly got up and went to my right class I was very late but I still went because I also had to turn in my doctors note to my teacher. When I got to class they were going over things that we learned from other classes.  I copied down the different built points they were going over. The talked about the story, the message, the change, and the reason why? The story is what it is. They talked about power, and the language of others. We started to talked about the best way to connect to the audience is to make changes in it and create the identity of the story and what it is all about.

Stories that are easy to...

In class I learned that stories can be put together like instructions. Stories are like blue prints, it’s a language by always thinking of the audience first. The blue print of the story is the recipes that consist of 2 characters, 1 conflict, and 1 resolution. Stories are all universal; they have 10 types of stories. After putting together a story you have to sell it. In stories you need to get to the point you need to get to the idea of the story. So you don’t be too overawed with too many ideas. You need to just stick to the story. I learned that the reason why we tell stories is because they are easy to remember, easy to understand, easy to believe, and also easy to share. Stories are to be attention getters.

UCA

My friends was getting in to it, I was not really trying to get in the middle of it but one of them thought she was running everything and she thought that she could say what she wanted to whoever and they was just going to listen but it back fired on her. So she call her boyfriend to bring her guy because no one was listing to what she had to say because she was the one in the wrong fighting over something that was not even her business and bring others into something that had nothing to do it her or them. So something in me snapped because she is one of my good friends but when she started too talked about bringing a gun even though I didn’t think she was that serious. But the fact that she was even talking about the gun made be very mad and I told her that guns are for weak people and if you had a problem you should never torn to a gun because it shows how weak your really are. I told her this for too reason one because I know it was going to make her mad but she really was making me made at this point and I know that it was wrong for me to do it just for that reason. The 2^nd reason is because too many people in my family are dying from weak people using guns and not talking their problems out.

The Story

We did an over view of why The Story is very important to the audience because it’s about the massage, change and why? But we also learned that the story has more to it and what the core if it is. The Core has lots of different parts to it. The most important of the story is the Characters. The next important part is the Conflict is the next best part because it’s all about the problem.  The Resolution is important to the story also because it has to make scene and it bring the story to an end.  This is all a part of the first level creativity. There should always be at least 2 characters in a story one conflict and one resolution.  And lastly I learn about UCA which stands for (You See A?).  This is one of the ways you can find a story somewhere.                     

Always think of the audience first

Always think of the audience first that was the big topic of the day. I learned a lot in class about different facts about the audience. I learn that 60% of people have literacy. To me I’m not really surprise about the percentages because there are a lot of different people in this world with some type of disabilities. We also talked about the reading skills of the audience. They read on an average of a 5^th grade level. I think that this is true because when I read I want to just read through everything quickly and get it over. I want the story to grab my attention fast to keep me interested.  That’s what’s bring be to my next topic about what we learned, we learned that we should always keep what we write short and sweet. Keeping it short and sweet will keep the audience attention. Every word has a meaning and putting them together will tell a story. This class is becoming more and more inserting for me and I really like it.

First day of class

My first day of my Writhing for the media class went well. I was not really sure what to expect in this class because it was a WI class and that’s means it’s a (Writing Intensive) class. I’m not a very good writer so I really was not looking forward to this class. When class starting I started to think this was going to be something different. My teacher has a personality of his own and I like that because he can keep your attaching. We first got all the information for the class and that when we learn we had to make blogs in this class. I was thinking to myself I never really did a blog before so I didn’t know what to do on a blog. After the high lights of this class we started talking about GOALS AND POWER. We talked about how it’s used like “I want Power” its evil but it can also be powerful. We talked about the STORY as a mean to affect people by telling jokes, tales, and stories about other people etc.  We also learn about the WIIFM (what’s in it for me). The WIIFM is what people think about every day when talking or listing to someone else about some type of information. You only start listing when you can pick out something said that will benefit our selves. When writing a STORY you have to think about the different topics.  The topics of a STORY are the message, change, and why.  The first day of class went very well. Can’t wait to learn more
