industry in the 1970s. As television became more and more popular in America, it became harder for news stations to compete with the entertainment aspect of television. The news was supposed to be the conveyor of reality and the truth.

For the owners of the television networks, it is just another way of making…

Directors are often the creative force behind the film while the producer is the business force. There are many similarities and differences between directors…

think this is interesting because I can relate it to my life in many forms of media, such as TV shows, social media, and music. There are certain TV shows that members of my family will put on and I won't be interested so I turn to my phone for entertainment. Also, I constantly flip through radio stations if the songs I don't like are playing. I find it interesting that as soon as we aren't interested in something from the media that we seek out another form of media to entertain ourselves and…

On average, American’s watch about 28 hours of television per week. Neil Postman’s “Amusing Ourselves to death” reinforces his many ideas and theories that revolve around the concept of how media is seen in a much bigger picture, and tries to offer some solutions to the issues that are happening right under our noses. It also shows how television has affected the perspectives of many and cultures in negative ways. Postman makes other points such as the how the truth can be seen or manipulated…

minutes of entertainment each day. By allowing children to spend ceremonious amounts of time watching the same sorts of oversexualized, one-dimensional female character, we deprive both boys and girls. It is okay to have female characters who have lower class jobs, or are sexually aware, it should be important for the storyline to have her in this role. Not because the male character has to have the dominant position of power. If society is going to continue to be so dependent on…

Unfortunately, according to Postman, we’re more concerned with the entertainment value of everything we see on TV. Yes, we’re more exposed to what goes on around the world, but we’re less concerned about the substance and more on the flash. This book can be an eye-opener, and cast a light on the society we’ve become:…

Angelina Jolie VS Jennifer Aniston “Movies can and do have tremendous influence in shaping young lives in the realm of entertainment towards the ideals and objectives of normal adulthood.” This famous quote by Walt Disney explains the importance of our day to day movies. Going off of movies, they wouldn’t even be around without the actors/actresses. They come in many, many different shapes and sizes, but the two main ones being discussed are Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston. Though they are…

I have wanted to pursue filmmaking for as long as I can remember. Every weekend my family has a movie night where we will either watch a new movie or an old favorite. While my family just sees a movie that they watch for entertainment, I see so much more than that. I see writers writing and rewriting a script to make it flawless. I see the cast and why they were chosen for that role. I see hours upon hours of work put into planning the movie. I see the different camera shots and why that type…
