    This article was interesting to me because it taught me that even minor aspects could have a huge impact on a show and whether it will succeed or tank. I thought it was interesting that the time slot of a show can have a heavy impact on viewers and ratings. Thursday night is a popular night for TV already, ABC has some of their most popular hits such as Grey’s Anatomy which has , NBC has the NFL games, like the article pointed out and Fox now has this family drama to get thrown into the mix. This article put in perspective how important picking the right time and day to hit their target audience would be. Another interesting aspect that caught my eye when scrolling through the article headlines was ‘Fox’s Pitch’.…

    The Real, the Bad, and the Ugly by Cassie Heidecker is an interesting example of analyzing the reality TV epidemic and in addition to the people that view it. The author starts out by listing things that go into a reality TV production and things that happen in real life in order to state that these are two different things despite the idea that reality TV is supposed to be “real”. The mundanity of real life is emphasised here vs. the idea that reality TV is scripted and has a lot of extra work put into it to make reality TV more appealing to a broader audience. The author goes on to say that real life is boring which I thought was funny and a little ironic considering that later the author mentions that she is somebody who sets aside time…

    The final scene is interesting to the audience as it creates suspense and conveys to the audience many themes, such as sacrifice, destiny, and love. The use of cross-cutting from Jamal’s point of view to Salim’s and even Latika’s creates anticipation for the audience as to what is going to happen. Boyle is purposefully showing the shots of Latika running towards the phone and Salim layering money in the bath tub to create suspense for the audience as the figure out what will happen, and how each scene pieces into the end game of the movie. A scene that was particularly interesting and true to the theme of redemption was Salim’s death scene.…
