New Jersey Turnpike

is the television title sequence for HBO`s series named “The Sopranos” created by DAVID CHASE in 1999. I`m going to talk about the video’s basic content and context, its key formal elements, and analyse its construction of meaning. The beginning to every episode of The Sopranos starts with the view provided of HBO`s own branding; A screen full of static appears and the disappears to reveal their logo. The sequence opens with the view coming from the interior of a car exiting a tunnel and getting on the new jersey turnpike. We see a quick shot of the driver’s hand adjusting the radio.

African-American spirituals are religious folksongs that developed from experiences of enslaved Africans in the American South during the colonial period. During that time, slaves were deprived of their freedom, language, families, as well as their connection to African culture. In fact, slaves owned by Christians were forbidden from practicing any religion, except Christianity (“African American Spirituals- Folk and Traditional Styles,” n.d., para 2). As Africanized Christianity became a part…

Technology, and media specifically, can distort what we see as reality. The news, television programs and articles make our society think outside their own values. The media can have a huge impact on our behaviors such as violence, sexual behavior and stereotypes. The impacts that the media has I feel are primarily negative. Yes, they can have a positive impact, but generally I feel it portrays the wrong idea, causing a very negative impact on those viewing. The media has a huge impact on our…
