Today we watched a animated video about consumerism in one of our social studies classes. so if you don't know consumerism is a social and economic order that encourages the acquisition of goods and services in increasing amounts. Consumerism encourages purchasing and consumption of goods and services in excess of a person's basic needs. In a consumerist society people are bombarded by adverts discount product launches product giveaways among many other promotions meant to encourage constant and significant spending on goods and services. Therefore consumerism allows people greater access to the goods and services that improve their lives. The final point for the positives of consumerism is that it generally increases people's quality of life. By helping people meet these needs consumerism has improved the lives of many people.

We are learning about film study and different types of camera shots. So far we have learnt about different types of camera shots, different camera angles emphasise different things, an establishing shot shows the set with no people to set the scene. We used 3 things to make a film type using dialogue, music and props we took photos of each other from different types of angles.
