Recommended: Fashion industry analysis

It is with great enthusiasm that I submit my application for Vox Media’s Racked Video Intern position. I think that I would be a great addition to the Racked team as it’s a company that focuses on making retail and fashion accessible. As a short form storyteller myself, I have the understanding that an viewer should be able to be fully experience a discussion or be introduced to a new topic in a matter of minutes. My prior experience as a short form storyteller takes root in my schooling as an animation major at the School of Visual Arts. During this time I learned After Effects, which I used to produce short projects every week. These projects included short films, commercials, and music videos. Not only will I be able to bring an animation

    I thought Sling Blade was written and filmed well. It did get slow in parts, but overall it kept my attention. I picked up on minute details that on a regular basis I wouldn’t have. This paper made me see the underlying aspects such as the music, lighting, and script. It made me pay attention to what the characters were saying and how they were relating. I now look at film in a new light. I don’t just watch the surface. I dig deeper and watch for everything.

    How Reality TV affects the audience and the characters who were participating into it? Does it really give knowledge to people who were watching and supporting? Or is it just the sake of money and exposing their appearance on television? When it comes to watching television, people at home can choose which types of program they want to want for many reasons.

    I chose a clip from KTXS News. The news clip was titled: Back-to-school an anxious, stressful time for children with special needs. If I had watched this video with no previous knowledge of students with disabilities, the news clip would have taught me that students with Autism need special attention, routine, have sensory aversions, and that life is challenging. This information is not false, however, it is not true for every child who presents with Autism. The video depicts students with Autism as having lots of struggles. The first thing they mention in the clip is the child’s name, the school he attends, and 3 things that he is not able to do as a result of his disability. There are no doubt struggles for families of children with disabilities,

  • Portrayal of Teens in the Media

    Have you ever met someone who acted just as teens are stereotyped? Not many people have because they do not exist. Real teens are poorly portrayed in the media and are the complete opposite of their stereotypes. Books and TV shows make teens out to be wild or crazy, irresponsible and out of control. One hardly ever hears about teen-heroes. Instead, newspapers and magazines are plastered with stories of teens and crime. And while looking at commercial billboards and other related media, the regular teen seems to be sex-crazed and image-obsessed.

  • Analysis Of The Documentary Freedom Summer

    The documentary Freedom Summer was released on January 17, 2014 by veteran documentarian Stanley Nelson. The documentary was made to serve as a reminder of the summer activists spent in 1964 in order to register African-American voters. The film showed the state of Mississippi during that time as being filled with hatred and segregation toward African Americans. The film is trying to show us the people who united together to bring freedom to African Americans. Even white people rebelled with African Americans to show that they did not support racism and that African Americans should have the right to vote just like any citizen.

    I would like to begin this reflection paper with my past experiences. First, I am an older student – obtaining my first bachelors from Hofstra University. As a sophomore in broadcast journalism, I was assigned the task of interviewing a graduate student in speech-language pathology as part of a career exploration video for incoming freshman. Filming her and her fellow classmates as they helped children overcome their stutter and gain both confidence and a voice, I was fascinated by the amazing work they were doing. But I had already begun searching for a career path in public relations, soon taking a job at a public relations firm on Long Island focusing on business clients. Within three months, I started dreaming about a career more than a

    Why is that reality TV shows instead of encouraging, end up discouraging someone? The whole purpose of being a part of a TV show is try to win because you feel confident in what you are competing for. However in shows such as Americas Next Top Model the judges seek for the contestants flaws and point them out. According to Jennifer Pozner’s “Ghetto Bitches, China Dolls, Cha Cha Divas” reality shows contradict themselves. Pozner points out that a contestant was asked what she felt she was more of, Korean or American. She said she had never really thought of it, she didn’t really know which one she considered herself more of. Why does she have to choose between either? Wasn’t she supposed to be unique? Feel confident in her own skin? Well AMNTM decided they were going to emphasize on this topic and attack her on it. We are told that we need to love ourselves, be strong, and be confident yet women are being criticized on screen. To what extent is reality TV going to be so hypercritical and contradict its slogan?

We need to get that tape out of the VCR!” I shrieked with angst. Before we had a moment to remove the tape, my parents ambled inside with groceries.
