This past week we focused on gathering our guild. What is a guild? All specialists must belong to a guild representing their skill before they can be hired. Guilds protect the reputation of their professions and defend the rights of their members. We had a choice in which guild we wanted to create, such as: -3D modelers -VR Videography -VR Video Editors -Programmers -Screen Writers -Actors -Set Designers The guild I joined was the actors guild. Just like in a real workplace, we must have a plan B and even sometimes a plan C. So other guilds I have expressed interest in is the Videography and Screen Writers guild; because we all are primarily involved with film. We are getting "paid" for our job based on our performance, So we calculated an average in which actors get paid. We also created requirements that need to be met by those who want to join. We haven't faced any real challenges this week. However, a celebration of ours was gathering our group and talking about experience and skills. It was helpful to get to know everyone. In English this week, we read quite a bit about propaganda and double-speak. This impacted my thinking about virtual reality. When we are in a VR world we are not in a real world with real problems and celebrations. It's a replica of the real thing; but not perfect. By learning how political leaders use propaganda and double-speak to manipulate us to agree with them seems very similar to VR. Propaganda and VR can both be a version of what's real or the truth. These articles opened my eyes to how much we leave unnoticed. A question that I had after reading is; How many votes or support have these people earned using propaganda?
