games were also incredibly fun. It was interesting to see how everyone reacted as well when we first started playing the games. It seemed like anyone who was blindfolded was very nervous at first, which is understandable. It was easy to see that a good guide was important, without that the people who were blindfolded weren’t really into that game as much. This always bummed me out some since this class has the potential to be so much fun, but it’s hard when you can’t see. You almost would become…
Electronic Media affects the four aspects of society as indicated by Postman in different manners, but they all share a common consequence, they are turned from serious world issues into entertainment. Once upon a time, in a very distant past, when ‘’serious’’ news corporations broadcasted ‘’serious’’ news, they were backed up with facts that were taken seriously and viewers were given an adequate amount of time to digest what had just been…
humorous characters who are reckless with everything they do.

first introduced, this wasn’t the case. Television has always been on a rollercoaster between fads, and new technologies introduced throughout the decades. But one of the overall most influential decades for the television and the evolution of the entertainment aired for the people through it. In the early part of the 1960’s, the first nationally televised presidential debate was viewed by a record amount of people, further securing the TV’s importance in the typical family living…
The three shows that will leave you on the edge of your seat, biting your lip, and wondering what will happen next are are The walking Dead, Empire, and Breaking Bad. The Walking Dead is my all time most favorite show of all time, simply because it is interesting and you never know what's going to happen next. The Breaking bad is different, to see a broke chemistry teacher become a drug kingpin with upward of 100 million dollars in savings is a story that nobody should miss. Empire is in a whole…
The movie I chose for option one was “The Truman Show”(1998) starring Jim Carrey and Paul Giamatti. This Movie is also a science fiction comedy drama. The issue around this time is that there were slim to none philosophical movies in 1998. This analysis will include a basic summary of the movie. The movie also has a theme of utopia that will be discussed as well. To conclude I will describe how the future is told through the movie too and whether I agree or disagree with how the director/author…
As a child, I had a love for many movies, but I had a special love for a specific movie, The Breakfast Club. My Father says that I would sit in front of the Television and watch this movie for hours at a time. Some would believe that it is odd for a child, my age, to love the movies that I do. Ever since I can remember, I have had a love for movies from the 80’s. My favorites included: Sixteen Candles (1984), The Goonies (1985), Beetlejuice (1988), and especially Dirty Dancing (1987). Actually,…
Television as almost everything in life has had an evolution. The way we think of television is very different than the way our ancestors did. Television has been around since the late 1920’s. However, back in the day it was a very expensive luxury that only the elite could afford. With the passage of years television became more accessible and as a consequence more popular. In the 1950’s television was considered to be the primary medium in which many families gathered their information.…
The “Song of the Roustabouts” and Animals In Disney’s Dumbo(1941) many of Paul Wells’s narrative strategies are apparent. These narrative strategies help enhance the feeling you get while watching the movie and allow you to connect to the characters. Ben Sharpsteen, the supervising director of Dumbo used sound, symbolism, and choreography several times while making the movie, especially in the scene when they sing the song called, “Song of the Roustabouts.” When Dumbo, the other elephants,…
