Reading 119 to 124.. Finally something I could get into lol!!

Im sooo happy this reading wasn't as dry as the first! This one was more about watching television and how to analyze it. It was cool how the text used real life and popular shows to explain how directors think. Also I found it interesting to know how the camera being held ay different levels and angles makes a difference. I thought all shows were basically filmed the same way. I never thought it really made a differance on which camera was used and where you held it. But now that I think of it, when I used to watch sope operas with my grandma, there were ALWAYS close-ups. Seriously, there would be a major close-up then it would go into another scene. Lol. Im starting to think this book really knows what it's talking about jk. Another thing that stood out to me numerous times, that was mentioned in the book was the limited races displayed in shows. Sometimes I wonder why isn't there a black person in the cast? If there is a black person, then they're either crazy, ghetto, funny, unemployed, and have a lot of drama. Im some cases it's funny, but not when the entire cast is white and the black person is the onnly one looking foolish. Smh.

I guess some people subject to degrading themselves to a certain degree when they have a nice pay check waving in their face...

But so far so good, very enlightening ready for the next section!
