Night time dramas do employ different kinds of genres such as legal drama, medical drama, forensic, soap opera, and teen drama among others. Unlike before when night time dramas are only using one genre, today they embrace the art of combining genres in order to create diversity in terms of interpretation and notion depending on the audiences’ demographic profile. This is consistent to Fiske’s argument that society is not stationary but is dynamic – which means that the popular taste in television shows, particularly on night time dramas changes from time to time. In other words, in order for Continue reading...

The disturbances in the relationships that happen in the plotline of most drama stories are caused by one of the characters messing up with the feelings of another character. This, in turn, leads to a crisis because the character who got messed up by the other character often acquires the reason to seek revenge or do something that is equivalent to what the other party has done, thereby triggering a chain reaction of disturbances. Sometimes, the main causes of the disturbances in the plotline’s happenings are directly showed in the story and sometimes, they are not. The common Continue reading...

McAdam believed that, for there to have a successful social activism there had to be these three factors which are insurgent consciousness, political opportunities structure and organization readiness (McAdam 339). These three factors formed what McAdam referred to as framing which means coming together to work as a team.

The title 12 Angry Men offers the audience a glimpse into both the cast and premise of the film – the film’s only real substantial cast are Continue reading...

Value over Volume

Each generation has had issues with the last, either with their work ethic, their seeming lack of respect, or something else entirely. There has never been any one generation that has looked to the young men and women they’ve raised and said with absolute certainty “They will run the world as we would.” This is simply not the measure by which each new generation holds themselves. Very few children aspire anymore to be like their parents, and even those that do follow that star in a different path than those who created them.
According to journalist Bob Cohn, Continue reading...

Just the other day, I, Sergei Eisenstein, had a curious experience – I walked around a strange street corner and found myself in the year 2013, in front of a small arthouse theater playing something called Rashomon, by a young Japanese fellow named Akira Kurosawa. Intrigued, I decided to buy a ticket and watch the film. Ninety minutes later, I left the theater with a feeling of joy – I was absolutely inspired by this film. So much of what Kurosawa accomplished in this film follows along with the very principles I tried to instill in my own films and write Continue reading...

The play Macbeth is the shortest one of the Shakespeare’s tragedies and consists of just 1,993 lines. But the brevity of this tragedy does not have any impact on its artistic and compositional merits. In this work, the author raises the question of the destructive influence of one-man rule and in particular the struggle for power that turns the brave Macbeth from a noble and celebrated hero into an all hated villain. It is terrible to see how a brave old warrior who was not afraid to look directly into the face of death, now clings to Continue reading...

One of the most distinctive elements of Terrence Malick’s films, and his work as a director, is the dreamlike, poetic nature of the look and story of his films. Far from being told in traditional narratives, Malick primarily uses evocative imagery and ethereal editing to depict the tragic and beautiful nature of human experience, particularly as it relates to nature. The oblique nature of his storytelling is distinctive and unique, as his characters become ciphers for the difficulty and majesty of life in all its forms, with whispered voiceover practically replacing dialogue and plot points replaced with elegantly-captured Continue reading...

The Greek myth of Oedipus is perhaps best known through the lens of Sophocles’ play Oedipus Rex, telling the story of the king’s fall from grace due to the fulfillment of a prophecy that saw him unknowingly killing his father and marrying his mother. The myth itself has a fascinating relationship between Greek culture and the Sophocles play that tells its story; while Sophocles provides the basic framework of the story, there are subtle differences in the details and focus of the play that change the myth somewhat, further refining its relationship to Greek culture as a cautionary Continue reading...

They also experience a conflict with a child, a fear of poverty, and the betrayal of a child who strays from their plans and visions for them.

Thesis Statement

A number of judges, lawyers, and members of the media claimed watching TV programs such as CSI caused jurors to acquit guilty offenders wrongfully. Such was termed as the CSI effect.

Subordinate Ideas

A. Crime and courtroom proceedings have long been fodder for film and television scriptwriters (Shelton 1). In recent years, however, the media's use of the courtroom as a vehicle for drama has not only proliferated, it has changed focus (Shelton 1).
B. Although CSI viewers had higher expectations for scientific evidence than non-CSI viewers, these expectations had little, if any, bearing on the respondents' propensity to convict (Shelton Continue reading...

I am always a fan of The Bold and the Beautiful which airs during the day time. I love the story line and the sub-plotting because it generally talks about family life and business and how each aspect could be a factor for each other, either a positive or a negative factor (Wikia n.p.). Since its inception, there was no acquisition of an Asian or African character or anyone that is of indigenous ethnicity. The characters that are involved in the drama are generally American white and are very much representative of the American culture of being strong willed Continue reading...

Women in the recent years have emerged from being the supporting casts of many daytime shows and films to take up the stories as dominant characters. They have become integral in breathing life into stories and plots of daytime shows by being used to challenge the social norms held about the female gender. Many of the daytime dramas have been based on the female narrative. The plotlines of the drama show not only prize women as key figures but also as sources of history as they age which continuously keeps the audience entertained. A good example of a daytime Continue reading...

The only daytime drama that I watch is The Young and the Restless. The only indigenous character that I know is Gwen, which is described as Afro-American woman. I would say that there is no resemblance of pure ethnic background in the way Gwen plays her role in the drama or if she ever is described as African in ethnicity or practice. Culturally, Gwen has already adopted the American culture that is free and modern. Gwen is often described by a combination of being professional and being a party girl at night (Bowe n.p). However, I was also captivated Continue reading...

I decided that I wanted to go to see the movie after watching its trailer on the web. There was nothing extraordinary about the trailer and what was shown in it, but what caught me first was the style of the film. It Continue reading...

Basing on “Theory of Film: The Redemption of Physical Reality” by Siegfried Kracauer published in 1960, it is obvious that though the film grows out of photography, the realism is not the most important function of cinema. In his investigation of the qualities of the cinematic medium, Kracauer pays the reader’s attention to the importance of the “magic” factor in the motion picture.
Kracauer mentions that the properties of the film are divided into two types: basic and technical. While basic properties stand for revealing physical reality, the technical ones are represented by the editing. He compares the Continue reading...

The Tempest is a drama by William Shakespeare written in 1611, which was his shortest play built around the Bermuda shipwreck and the new world’s colonies. It can be considered as a romantic play, but at the same time it is a work that talks about the culture and history too. It has depictions about the problem of plague that had taken thousands of lives at that time. The trade and the resultant economic boom had resulted in farm family displacements. As the rural farm life gave away to the city life, the serene atmosphere that faded evoked Continue reading...
