seeing tv
I have watched television on many occasions throughout my life. When I was growing up I watched TV to pass the time on days when I could not go outside, and the whole day I would complain to my parents that, "there is never anything fun to do in the house." As a child I would sit down in the family TV room watching, what I now consider, mindless shows for hours upon end. I did that to relieve the current state of boredom that I was in. Little did I know that those wasted hours I spent in front of a box would shape some of my outlooks on people and life for the future. I did not come upon this realization until I started attending classes in the beginning of this semester. Through the readings, movies, lectures, and this project I came to realize that I was and am just as impressionable as the next person is when it comes to TV. Between counting the technical events that occur in a TV program and watching programs without turning on the sound I came to the realization that all things portrayed on TV are seen as entertaining. If everything is entertaining it becomes harder to decipher which aspects are real, if any. To watch a television show and attempt to count the technical events is not an easy task. I say attempt
Watching the news without sound made it very hard to understand what was going on. I realized that all the characters on the show were skinny women with beautiful features and handsome men with muscular bodies. There was a good portrayal of this in a recent movie, "Wag the Dog". While doing this I watched a sitcom and for the ten minutes that I paid attention to strictly technical events I could not follow what was occurring in the show. While concentrating on just technical changes there was no way that I could keep up with the story line. There were a lot of changes from one shot to another shot, which would be completely different from the previous Masterson 4one. It is not until after many commercial break's that they move on to the more "fluff" stories on "Good Samaritan" types. Thus just adds to the ideas that the world today is very concerned with beauty and beauty comes from your outward appearance. The violence is put in the beginning segments to grab the attention of the viewers, which brings us to a disturbing realization. I realize that the news does not cover as many important issues as it should and, the corporations that own the TV stations filter what is covered. I had to when they would cut from scene to scene or person to person not showing who, if anybody, was talking. With all the different types of television programs there are equal amounts of different commercials. There were technical events in the program but there are not as many as in a sitcom or other TV programs. I counted a total of two hundred and seventy five events in a ten-minute span of the show. Sex appeal is a big thing in the media.
