Realism In Media numbers of factors contribute to an understanding of realism. These factors apply equally to any fictional genre, from a dramatised documentary to the most outlandish science fiction. Our assesment of realism may consequently differ radically from text to text, but the smae questions can always be raised.Realism can therefore be seen as a combination of : - The plausibility of story events
- The believability in characters' motivations ( is this how people or we ourselves behave in similar situation ? )
- The relation of the story to plot. ( is the plot instrusive? Does the plot rely too much on co-incidence or other overt controversies ? )
- The logic of the story and plot events. ( Does it follow that if x happens y will follow ? )
- The representation of filmic space (even in the most extreme fantasy or science fictional scenario, can we ' suspend our disbelief ' suffeiciently to accept it is how it would be ? ).
- The verisimilitude - how convincing are the surface deatils ? ( Does the gud look and fire like the real gun ?

Taglines In Media
A tagline is a phrase or slogan that is catchy which is used in Media.
The idea behind this is to create a unique that will:- Sum up the overall content of the film.
- Sell the film/ product to an audience.
A tagline should ideally be short, sharp creative and most importantly memorable.

What is Media?

Media is advanced technology, using technology like apple mac computers, cameras and all the latest gadgets around.

Over the past few media lessons we have been using software on the apple macs, like photo shop, in photo shop we tried to design he Casablanca poster exactly how it looks. But using our photos as the main characters.

Types of media consumption
Primary - the media is exclusive focus of attention.
Secondary - media consumption is secondary to another activity, there is no active focus on it. E.g. background radio while cooking.
Tertiary - the weakest and least intensive relationship. The media is present, but not focused on at all. E.g. hearing a TV show through a wall while trying to work
