While watching the video “Video Killed the Radio Star,” I used a variety of these skills, but two in particular stood out. The video encodes a message that can only be decoded through close observation, the music combined with the presentation of events that occurred in the last century requires a high level of understanding. The message this video offers is that times have changed with the advancement of technology, new steps and events will continue to make history. Some of the scenes depicted in the video require the ability to think critically about the media message and what was being said. When the video introduces a family at the beginning of the video, it is paired with a song that explains the change in the story due to the invention of the video. Understanding the content and being able to think critically about what the video is saying allows me to analyze the meaning of what the video is trying to convey to the viewer. By learning different skills and developing these skills, we as people can better understand the meaning of what is depicted
