Born into Brothels

1) How did you enjoy the film? What stood out for you? 

I really liked watching this movie in class. It was such ice breaking experience for me to see the other side of India. When I think of India I think of all the products, good values and curry spices. I always pictured the people of India were very established and outgoing labors this film was a complete shock to me.  They were doing nasty and disgusting things that I only thought happened downtown.  This movie really changed my personal view on this country. 
2) Did you learn anything new about photography, life, people? What?

I learned some very usefull information about photography.  I learned it doesnt matter how good you are it matter how much time and effort you put in, in what your trying to accomplish.  Life isnt easy and change is very hard to find and unless we put effort in trying to accomplish our goals it wont be done.3) How do you think the world needs to change?
How important is this?

I think the world needs to change in many ways. But first it has to start with younger pepole in todays society. We have the power to control the things that happen in the future . Children need to be more aware of the events that are happening around them. 

4) What are you willing to do TODAY to be a part
of that change?

I am willing to change my lifestyle in order to take part in changing the world.  I think if I take time to learn about the diffrent cultures i will become more open minded in particapting in events to help others.5) Do you know a good song/rap/poem with
good lyrics about change in the world?

Rap song/ by: Tupac changes

6) Pick a non-profit organization that is
important to you.
Why is this important to you?
Do they have a website?

To be honest I dont even no wht a non – profit organization personaly my opinion is people who help out in the community for free like the lunch and learn program is great for kids.  Because you stay out of trouble and you get a good lucnh.  So I think that would be a good example of a non-profit organization.

7) What ideas do you have for media
arts projects that we could do individually
or as a class to help contribute to these
organizations that are important to us?

Our class is producing some great work. We can come up with slogangs and psters and disrtubite them around the community to help out.

   MAGAZINE COVER

Questions:

a) What qualities of your magazine cover make it effective? (eg. What makes it eye catching?What about it promotes curiosity?, How is it visually pleasing?, What makes it easy to understand?

To me i think the most effective thing on my magazine would be the title.  I think 50 cent makes it eye catching because he is so well known.   It’s visualy pleasing because it can relate in todays world.  It’s easy to understand because there isnt alote of diffrent things in my magazine.

b) What was the order of hierarchy you were trying to achieve for the elements on your magazine cover?  The order of hierarchy i was trying to achive in my magazine was

1) title

2) 50 cent
