VERSIMILITUDE EXAMPLE
DEFINITION
The appearance of being true or real
Verisimilitude, in a narrow sense, is the likeness or semblance of a narrative to reality, or to the truth. It comes from Latin: verum meaning truth and similis meaning similar. In a broader sense, verisimilitude refers to the believability of a narrative—the extent to which a narrative appears realistic, likely, or plausible (regardless of whether it is actually fictional or non-fictional).
EXAMPLE
For those unaffiliated with the double-edged sword of Paul Verhoeven’s American films, Robocop might sound like a poorly titled schlock-fest. The reality however, is that this uber-violent comedy-thriller is an ingenious satire on the dangers of consumer culture and the evaporation of the people’s power by corporate interests.There are countless moments of absolute genius in this film, but perhaps one of the funniest has a malfunctioning product empty hundreds of rounds of ammunition into a senior executive to the point of near evaporation. The CEO’s horrified response upon seeing this ‘glitch’ occur:
“You call this a glitch? We’re scheduled to begin construction in 6 months. Your temporary setback could cost us 50 million dollars in interest payments alone!”

Camera Tricks
We learned about the camera angles today. We also learned about what Aperture, Shutter speed and ISO is. We learned how different ISO, Aperture and shutter speed can make a difference in a particular picture.
ISO: 200
Shutter speed:1/20
Aperture: 5.0
Angle: Mid Shot
Here are a few camera angles I experimented with different IOS.

MotorTrends Logo
I was given a project to make a logo for my magazine.
The genre I chose for it is automobile because I'm pretty much interested in this stuff.
I've always been interested in cars and writing about cars will surely be a good thing to do.
I chose the word MotorTrend not because it just popped in my mind. I had a lot of ideas but this suited me the most since there's no other magazine with the same name, making my magazine's name sound unique.
Attached with this article is the logo I've created for the magazine. Why did I make it like that?
Firstly, I wanted the color to be lesser black but not so light. And blue was like the perfect option.
The fonts I chose for the logo is sarif fonts because they're pleasing to eyes and another reason for that being, it doesn't matter what size my logo is printed in, users will still be pretty cool reading it. Old English is the font I used and for the tagline, I used sans-serif since obviously I didn't want it to sound boring by using same kind of fonts.
The name MotorTrend sounds pretty cool since the word reflects a meaning. Motors reflect the genre, that is automobile. And trend is obviously an important word since my magazine is going to be the trend setter for automobiles.
Lastly, I've got to tell about technical specifications of this logo.
It is created in Adobe Illustrator alone and the resolution set was 300. I created the artwork in 500x500 but later cropped it to fit the art.
The picture attached with this post was saved for web, that's the reason the quality is not pretty good.
Stay in touch to find out more about my magazine and stuff.

Why I chose Media Studies?
Uhmm.. I actually didn't choose media studies myself. Sir asim wanted me to opt for it because he thought I'm pretty good at it. So, to be honest, I opted for media studies because he wanted me to. And uhmm.. probably because I find it interesting too.
