Introduction
Although there are a significantly large number of models of communication, it is important to view them carefully when deciding which model is most advantageous and best explains a situation involving a sender and a receiver of a message..
In the film ‘Wag The Dog’ Barnlund’s Transactional model of Communications is most useful for explaining what happens when a message becomes problematic. In this model, it has been identified that messages often take place concurrently. Throughout the film ‘Wag the Dog’ there is clear evidence of the sending and receiving of messages happening simultaneously which is why Barnlund’s Transactional model of communication is most useful to describe what occurs when a message is found to be problematic …show more content…
Laswell’s theory is based on five questions ‘’Who Says What in Which Channel to Whom with What Effect’’ (Laswell 1948: 37)
Shannon and Weaver’s (1949) model incorporates noise and other things which can interfere and cause a disruption in the understanding between the sender of the message and the receiver. According to (Shepherd, 1993) the linear model reduces communication to a purely technical procedure.
In the interactive model Schramm (1955) it is indicated that the sender of the message and the receiver communicate better if they have experiences, which are the same.
Barnlund’s Transactional model of Communications recognizes that when communication occurs, messages often circulate from both the receiver and the source simultaneously. Although there are many other models of communication, Barnlund’s Transactional Model of Communication is the most applicable for demonstrating what takes place when the message is found to be presenting a problem, in the film ‘’Wag the Dog’’. Barnlund’s model demonstrates common experiences of both the sender and the receiver. It also shows messages being delivered at the same time, noise and feedback received from the receiver of the
