A celebration I have this week is finalizing the video theme and process of my producers. This was very beneficial for me because I finally got to visualize what the edits are going to look like. Also, the footage was finally shot, so with that being done I am able to start editing now to start adding saturated color effects for a psychedelic result.
An example of cognitive dissonance I encountered was hearing how one cares for animals and really cares about their lives and well being but is steady eating meat. I feel like since you care that much, you shouldn't take part in eating poultry. It is going against what you believe when you feel a way and do something that contradicts that. In that situation, I left it alone. I confronted the person about it, but I did not continue to bring it up to them. I feel like it's your choice but it was a very hypocritical thing to do. Hashtag Activism didn't change my mind at all. I feel like hashtags do work in a couple of cases. One being the fact that people from all of the world have easier access to communicate with others through hashtagging without have to individually and manually search for people who are interested in the same topic and or share the same views. Two being the fact that it shows how many people are involved and care about the current events. Through hashtagging, it brings awareness of the tragedies and celebrations that are going on. Three being building a community. I feel like when we are all on the same page we are being brought together and realizing that we are not alone and that we have each other. The reading I found the most convincing was the one by Shaina. It didn't persuade me, but it was strong enough to let me see the other views and understand them. With discussing the reading with my peers it made me realize and be more open minded about hashtag activism.
