I like the addition of the pics and ads. Not sure I love a couple of the ads in particular (too sexy??? It seems a little creepy to pan down the body of scantily clad women, but maybe that's the point? I don't know...), but I like having ads.

I'm not a fan of the music

Clips and text / script seem fine. Wonder if we should carefully review what we said and then figure out what we didn't say and add the "new words" as a backdrop to pictures of ads / videos.

Should we start with a montage of ads? Not sure this is a good idea because our words are so slow...deep and profound would be another way to describe them...and the images wold be so fast. Maybe this dichotomy would be poor film making...don't know.

Like Christa's idea about the written definition of media literacy.

Maybe we should have a written definition of media literacy in the first video to go along with the verbal descriptions.
