Sometimes a media theory can be inserted without even knowing it, I went over my idea in the last post (go read it if you haven't [ Yes I will be saying this every post, you cant stop me :3 ]), but what I didn't realize was that I already kind of incorporated a media theory into it (I didn't build on it though, so that's why I'm here) .
So in my idea summary, I mentioned the central government of the story spewing propaganda to discourage creative and "out of line thoughts" (as a way to like ensure no one finds out the awful things their doing and figure out a way to stop it despite the mind wipes) which is kind of hypodermic Needle Theory (The theory that says media has a direct and powerful influence on its audience). Though, there's a reason I wrote "kind of"
Building off of the Hypodermic Needle Theory !
So the way I want to push this theory into my overall story and opening is by basically turning the already established propaganda being displayed in the mirrors (I mentioned in the last post that these mirrors were government mandated) and making it known that the government is in control of the media, I may also include some extensions of this idea, like including a broadcast of similar content, all with a way of knowing its from the government (like a little statement bottom right, etc.).The masses will be influenced directly from this (Though I'm not sure exactly how to show this) and to outliers the mind wipes and propaganda will still be seen as something normal because of how frequent and how long it has been done (Which correlates with the Cultivation Theory [I'm pretty sure]).
I can tell this projects going to be much fun !
