Social Media and Me
Write a 350- to 700-word summary describing characteristics and uses of three different social media platforms with the objective of networking within your career field. Do make clear what that field is. Describe your own current social media accounts and why you use them, or if you do not currently use three social media platforms, describe three you would use and why. Do not instruct the reader what to do but rather speak for yourself. Incorporate research regarding how to present a professional profile on social media platforms.
Cite at least one resource.
Format your assignment according to appropriate course-level APA guidelines.
For optimum credit, apply all APA formatting, grammar, punctuation, and usage notes from your week one paper before submitting.
2. Entertainment Media Pitch
Imagine you have the opportunity to pitch an original idea for a new TV or movie program that is based on current market trends. You will need to research what the popular genres are in either movies or television and write your pitch with the intention of selling a story that falls in line with what is currently profitable. Be sure to call it a proposal (pitch is a salesman’s term).
Write a 350- to 700-word pitch directed to either a movie or television producer. Bear in mind that this is not an academic essay, so you are not writing a paper about a pitch.
If a movie, include a full story summary (not just a tease without an ending) and characters with a description of why the story falls in line with what is currently profitable. Include an analysis discussing how your project reflects current popular entertainment trends and reflects (or not) American cultural values and their influence on social behavior.
If a TV series, describe the characters and a first episode story summary, and describe the ongoing format of the series with a description of why it falls in line with what is currently profitable. Include an analysis discussing how your project reflects current popular entertainment trends and reflects (or not) American cultural values and their influence on social behavior.
If you choose to pitch a reality show, describe the premise, location, participants, and process of the series, and how the program matches current popular entertainment trends and does or does not reflect American cultural values and their influence on social behavior.
Do not pitch remakes, revivals, stories, characters, or concepts to which you do not own the rights.
Include an APA cover page. Be sure to spell check and apply grammar, punctuation, and usage notes from your previous papers.
