"Welcome to Hollywood!"
My title is based off the opening scenes of the movie "Pretty Woman" and is relevant because a lot of my media viewing is limited to big hollywood productions.
I am almost embarrassed to share my media habits only because I never quite thought about the choices I was making until the first day of GWSS3307.
First of all, I do not watch a lot of television, or rent many movies in general, but when I do, I am usually watching cable t.v. at home, shows like “What Not To Wear�, “Designed to Sell� or “Man Vs. Wild�. When I do watch a movie, it is 9 times out of 10 that I have rented a DVD or borrowed one from a friend. In this case I watch the movies on my laptop or T.V with DVD player built in.
In short, I watch almost all Hollywood films, and up until this point, if I had watched an Indie film it was probably by accident, which is sad to say. My media-viewing background will definitely affect my knowledge and opinions in class when viewing Indie films, because I have never seen some of the techniques used in these films.
I am attempting to put a link in, but don't know if it will work. Here is the "Welcome to Hollywood" thing I was talking about.

Pretty Woman is an amazing movie! Great title!
I also never really thought about my media watching habits before this class, and I must admit that I was hesitant at first about sharing them on the blog.
