“Public Relations are the methods and strategies used to control how information about a person or company gets out to the public, especially to the media”

Public Relations

I chose to major in PR because I am very interested in the media aspect of companies and how information is communicated to make a business successful.

I have always had a passion for writing and I know in the PR career path I will have the opportunity to write and publish information to the media. I think Public Relations is such an important part of media because it communicates information to the public and can be used in a variety of different ways in the media.

In this field of study, I hope to work for a company in New York, LA, Orlando, Nashville, Dallas, etc. and work on the media aspect of the company, ensuring that the public knows what the company does and represent it in the best light.

Public Relations offers many different career paths and opportunities. Whether it’s through writing, public speaking, social media, podcasts, and many other ways to communicate information. The use of social media is growing rapidly so using PR skills on electronic devices is a great option for the future.

I chose to major in Public Relations over some other majors I was considering, like communication or marketing, because Gaylord offers incredible education in this field of study, one of the best in the Nation. I also wanted to put my writing skills, passion for social media and love for communicating to use and I believe Public Relations is the perfect fit for my skills.

I have enjoyed majoring in PR so far and I am excited to see what my future holds in this career path and how my studies here at The University of Oklahoma will assist me in the future!

The film industry plays a huge role in society today and is a main source of entertainment for people from all over the world. Throughout my life I have grown up watching films of many genres: Rom Com, Action, Drama, Horror, etc. But what makes a film a quality piece of entertainment?

A film that I would argue is a quality film is the recent movie, Barbie. Starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling, the movie takes you on an adventure through Barbie’s life and is not only fun and lighthearted, it also supports women empowerment through many ways.

The advertisement for this movie really stood out to me and I think is what made this such a quality film. Thousands of companies promoted the Barbie movie through their products being pink or Barbie themed in some way. The trailer and the marketing for the movie alone persuaded people to buy a ticket and invest in the movie.

Not only did Barbie have fantastic advertising, the costumes, set design, and actors/actresses were outstanding. It is obvious that this was not a cheap movie to produce, but the investments were worth it. According to an NPR article, “Barbie brought close to $1.3 billion at the worldwide box office” (NPR). I believe Barbie has been one of the most successful quality films created.

Besides the advertising, artists, set design, and costumes, I believe a quality film can be determined by cinematography, direction and editing. The movie The Greatest Showman is another production I would consider as a quality film.

IMDb

The Greatest Showman overall is an amazing film with incredible special effects, and behind the scenes detail that bring the story to life. The story is also very entertaining and captivating.

To me, a quality film contains many elements (as discussed throughout this blog) that are pieced together to create an entertaining and inspiring production.
