Well, so far I am taking Mass Communication Degree majoring in Media Studies. I guess there have lots people not really familiar with Mass Communication course.
Let me explain here briefly. Mass Communication is an art course and some of the units require creative thinking rather than logical. For example, we study advertisement, film and creative strategy. Those subjects have to come out with a new idea from what people already know.
For instant, drive safe campaign advertisement(I just attended to listen the speech in class last week). As we all know not wearing seat belt might cause to death when accident happened. But, how many of them are really care about it? There only have a low percentage of people died by not wearing seat belt. Therefore, government organization provides some advertisement to educate people and create their awareness on drive safe campaign.
Well, come back to the advertisement again. Students are taught to think creatively such as advertisement that educate public on immediate consequence by not wearing seat belt (death) instead of keep persuade public to wear it while driving.
There are so many of my friends not really understand what kind of job can apply after took this course. Media has wide coverage and high influence on people. Medium such as print, broadcast internet are all related to media. I can apply any job which related to media no matter advertiser, broadcaster or public relation.
Previously I had high interested on production. I like to see people acting, and work as a team(have fun together, tired together). When the film has released to public, the feeling of excitement is hard to describe and couldn't replaceable especially the memorable experience during production.
However, work as production is really tough and tiring. It has long working period and less income, sometimes is really stressful when I couldn't achieve director's wants. Still, I love movies! And I will support my ex-teammates in my heart to produce more good films in local industry. Work hard!
So now,do you understand roughly what is Mass Communication course about?
