In our class on Tuesday, we have spoken about what are indicators for high quality and low quality products. Just for my part, personal communication is very important. If good friends of mine have recommended a product, which is for example available at the internet, the choice for buying the product is higher than only if you get some information in the internet. Nonetheless, the debate for what has high or low quality is often subjective. It depends on our personal interests and moods. Particularly mood-management is a significant factor for deciding what high/low quality means. If you had a stressing day, you sometimes just want to watch a show without any deeper content or any serious topics. Another aspect, which must be taken into consideration – especially for TV content – is who has written the movie/show, who are the actors and how famous the movie/show is. It is also good, if you have some experiences about the content, for instance through some previous seasons.
I very much agree with mood variance having a lot to do with what I consider quality at any given time. The stupidest, worst made video on YouTube might seem to me to be comic genius on one day, and utter garbage the next. It all depends on my moody disposition, lol.

ReplyDeleteIt's funny how your mood can affect what you view as good/bad quality. The song or movie that you hate the most can seem like the best ever at some point if you're having a terrible day but it turns out to be just what you needed at the time. Weird how that works. Because you know what you are watching or listening to actually sucks.
ReplyDeleteI definitly have specific things that i watch in order to change my mood. Iv even received comments on my youtube video that people watch it whenever they are having a bad day and need a "pick up"... I suppose i am in this business of "mood-changing" management. haha
