Reflection:
Research helped me figure out conventions of travel advertisments and media texts sharing our genre, this helped as a basis on what to add and have in our video. I aswell devleoped the skills on how to identify what type of technical element is used and analyse and infer the meaning and the reason of why it's used. There is a problem with my device and or software that dosent allow me to be able to upload images to blogger.
