The document is a media log where the author explores different media sources to help develop an idea for a project around the theme of "community." Over five days, the author watches and reflects on Squid Game, a cryptocurrency video essay, a Joe Rogan podcast, the Netflix series You, and the Apple TV series The Boys. These exposures help the author think about how to convey the themes of "you, me, them and us" through a podcast, video essay, teaser episode, or opening to a TV series/film. The log concludes by listing some potential media concepts the author could pursue.

1. Media log

2. My initial idea from the stimuli is community as you, me, them and us describes
society. I'm going to make a media log to consolidate what I watch to give me a
better understanding into the theme i'm going to explore. My first idea was the
song by disclosure called you and me. I rewatched the video, and felt lt linked
perfectly with the stimulus because of the romantic nature the song intaled. After
watching the music video I quickly realised romance wasn't the theme I wanted
to explore further. However I thought about directing an opening of a TV series or
film as that's something I would enjoy doing. I feel I obtain the skill set and have
the resources around me to be successful.

3. Day 1
(TV series)
Finished watching Squid Game:
● popular series about a man in debt who decides to sign up to deadly
games in return for money join a community of like minded people to
play dangerous games in return for prize. This links to my stimuli you
me them and us as community is highlighted throughout the series
through teamwork and friendship.

4. Day 2
(Youtube video)
Video essay about cryptocurrency:
● Recently I've been watching youtube videos about investing and
the types of coins to choose from. My stimuli you, me, them and us
made me think about cryptocurrency as the market is based on
community. Potentially I could make a video essay or podcast
about this topic

5. Day 3
(podcast)
Podcast with Joe Rogan & Kevin Hart:
● This podcast is one of Joe Rogan's most popular episodes, they talk
throughout about community, life and success which made me think
of my stimuli. I could potentially produce a narrative podcast linking it
to you, me, them and us.

6. Day 4
(Netflix series You)
This week I started watching a popular netflix series called You. I
really like the way they transition through scenes, I feel they do it in a
smart way to keep the reader hooked while explaining the story. If I
were to produce a short film or opening episode to a series I would
look at the shots in You for inspiration

7. Day 5
(Apple TV series The boys)
The boys is a TV series based on superheroes. It links to our stimuli
as the superheroes are treated way different to the general public.
This made me think of you and us as the superheroes are seen as
superior whereas the rest of the public are treated unfairly.

8. Media concept
● Podcast
● Video essay
● Teaser episode
● Advertisement campaign
● Short story with song in the background (you and me
disclosure)
● Opening of TV series or movie
