    Friday Night Lights Analysis

    The movie “Friday Night Lights” is based on a real life best seller “Friday Night Lights: A Town, A Team, and a Dream”, by author H.G. Bissinger. The movie’s setting takes place at Permian High School in Odessa, Texas in 1988 when the tension between races were still strong in some areas of the south. There is some focus in some areas of the film that has to do with racial tension and the ongoing conflict between the student body and the city as a whole. Even though desegregation had happened by the time the book was written and the film was made, the schools at times were still racially divided. I also felt the movie showed how this football program exploited their black athletes.…

    Freaks And Geeks Analysis

    The critically acclaimed show Freaks and Geeks is a shining example of a TV show that ended far too early. Freaks and Geeks was a show that captured the awkwardness of adolescence, as opposed to the romanticized and nostalgic view typically portrayed on TV. Shortly after Freaks and Geeks ended, a spiritual successor arose in the form of the show Undeclared, created by Judd Apatow, a producer of Freaks and Geeks. Where Freaks and Geeks was more drama than comedy, Undeclared was a lighthearted show that explored the college experience. Although Undeclared presents plots typical to the college experience, due to the lighthearted tone of the show, aspects of typical college life are presented too simplistically.…

    Night Of The Living Dead Analysis

    Monsters have long been used to express an inner flaw or turmoil that is manifested in a particular society or an individual. We see this time and time again, from Little Red Riding Hood to the collection of Grimm’s Fairytales. Night of the Living Dead, the movie can be seen as a struggle or revolt against collectivism and consumer culture. When the Night of the Living Dead is looked at in comparison to the time it was created, a deeper meaning becomes much more transparent.

    Full house is a family show that demonstrates many variations of relational communications. When we analyze the relationships with in this big family you start to see the themes that were discussed in the beginning of this paper.

    Freaks And Geeks Analysis

    Freaks and Geeks was a rarity in the early millennium of television. Existing in a hyper-dramatized era of film and television, the witty series effectively captures the awkwardness and angst of adolescence with simplicity and humor, reflected even in the very first episode, which I have screened. The episode mainly utilizes conventional formal elements, and it makes sense: to capture the reality of teenagers in suburbia, using conventional norms in areas such as lighting and editing masks production and allows the narrative to progress naturally and invisibly. Hence, this screening journal will focus heavier on diegetic components: the encoding of the show’s characters through some incorporations of visual and aural components, and how these characters function in developing themes and ideologies,…

    What Makes American Horror Story Season 7

    The previous season of “American Horror Story” may seem a deep exploration of the show’s past seasons. Indeed, it makes noise for its unpredicted storyline but its ending is quite monotonous. With that, there are some believe that “American Horror Story” Season 7 will be the anthology’s final offering.

    Breaking Bad Analysis

    In this increasingly media-driven society, competition in the entertainment industry to create the next big hit is fierce; it seems as though new shows assault our televisions in a ceaseless stream. Despite this influx of shows, it oftentimes feels as though nothing exceptional is offered to viewers; ideas are simply reused instead of created. Every now and again, however, audiences are wholly captivated by a show with a brilliance that far surpasses its competitors. When thinking of notable shows-- both older and more recent ones-- several come to mind, but throughout the entirety of television's history, it is 2008 that lays claim to the beginning of what may be the greatest show to ever air on television: Vince Gilligan's Breaking Bad.

    American Horror Story Vs Supernatural

    The two TV shows that I decided to compare and contrast were American Horror Story and Supernatural. Both of these TV shows are under the genre of horror and they both like to re-create the things that go bump in the night. Both of these TV shows are geared toward a large target audience of ages 18 through 50, and both have characters that the audience can grow with. Nevertheless, the networks that they are tied to, have a different opinion on how they scare their audiences in their seat. American horror story is a a non- syndicated cable program that is with FX, and is in the genre of horror fiction The content of the show changes every season however the episodes keep their element of fear fresh.…
