Several weeks ago, Mr. Miller's Journalism 1 class learned about Communication. We learned about the different types of communication; individual communication, mass communication and group communication. Mass communication has no immediate feedback. It has no immediate feedback because when you're speaking to a mass audience, you can't hear what they all have to say all at once. It's also has the potential to reach a mass audience and travels through a space and/or time through a medium. Things like tv shows have to go through a whole process before we get to internalize the idea. The idea is created in the brain(stimulus). After that goes the idea is originated, (you) would have to write the script, get all the cast and crew and tape it (encoding). Then the episode/show is sent to transmit over the cable network. Once you have watched the show/episode, it becomes decoded in your brain which then turns into internalization.
During the decoding process there are impediments that disrupt you from viewing the form of media. There's semantic noise (typos), channel noise (technical problems) and environmental noise which is distraction/interference.
During the internalization process, there are filters that prevent you from viewing the form of media. Physical filters ( I can't ) are things such as being blind or deaf. Psychological filters (I won't) are preset filters set in your mind like phobias. Informational filters (I don't know how) are things such as a foreign language, "I don't know how to speak German, how can I listen to German radio?"Overall, I really didn't think there was so much to the idea of communication. However, it is interesting to see how long it takes to make things like tv shows.
