Media Mid-Term:
“How does the media affect on the children and violence in the United States”
The effect of the media on the kids became a major problem in the United States. In United States, kids are spending most of the time in front of TV. Most of them watch television programs and the others are playing games. Well, the media shouldn’t actually effect on the children that much as it is now. We have parental control on the television programs, ratings on the movies and video games. But, we don’t actually take any of them seriously. Most of the parents are busy with their work every day. They don’t really have time to think of controlling the television programs and video games that their children are playing and watching every day. That’s reason why it became the major problem in the United Sates. Video games are actually restricted because they ask you for the ID when you go to buy R-rated video games in the stores. So, how do you think the children get access to play those games? I am sure that parents buy them for their children. Most of the parents don’t check the ratings when they buy games for their children. They just want their children to spend their time as the way they like when the parents are out for work. They don’t seriously think that the video games can affect their children’s mind and life style.
There is one more important thing I want to talk about. That is about computers and internet affect on the children.

Sunrise: The song of two humans
I’m sure that this film is a model for all the films we have today. Even thou it is a silent film, it has all the lighting effects, camera techniques and special effects that shows what the director’s point about the movie and makes you understand more about the movie. In this essay, I will show that how the director makes husband possess and good by using the camera shooting techniques such as high, low, medium angles and the special effects.
The husband in this movie became good sometimes and possesses sometimes between his good wife and the evil, the lady from the city. In the first part of the movie, the husband was just drunk and didn’t shave and looks broke, depressed with his wife and it was at night. It means evil and you can see 2 ladies who like the same guy. One is his wife who almost dresses up white, simple and all the body parts are covered with her cloth. And the other one is the girl form the city that wears black dresses and skirt, which are fashionable almost all the time. It actually means about the color as white is good and black is evil as we have black list and non- black list which is white. And you can see the way those two ladies look. The wife looks grace and peaceful. But the woman from the city looks sexy, smoking and wears lots of makeup and lipstick compared to the wife. And you can see the lighting effect when the lady form the city makes the sound to get the guy out of the house. The lady from the city is out of the house in the dark and the guy is in the house filled with bright light. The darkness out of the house means the evil as it does mean about the lady from the city and the light in the house means that the good as it does mean about the wife. And you can clearly see that we can see the lady from the city just at night. We don’t see her in day time. When the wife is done preparing for the dinner, the guy is gone. The wife knows that he went out to see the lady from the city and she could actually go and have a fight with them if she’s not peaceful and a good wife. But she feel sad and go to her child’s bed and crying and staying with her child when the guy is staying with the lady from the city in the yard. The guy seems so happy when he was with the lady from the city. But the lighting effect changes right away. The combination of the lightning in the scene makes the guy look very angry and evil right away when the lady from the city asked him to drown his wife. But the guy accepts what she said when the lady from the city kissed him and acted like she loves him a lot. You can see the guy seems broke and came back to home and stare at his wife who is sleeping. You can see that the director put the cross sign on her blanket and I think it means that she is a good person and god saves her.
The wife seems so happy in the morning when the husband asked her to go for a ride on the boat. She thought the husband is coming back to her. You can see that the director shows you that the dog knows what’s going to happen. It barks and barks and run to the boat. But the husband doesn’t want anything to see that he murder his own wife. So, he was very angry and put the dog back in the house. Since then he looked evil and aggressive. You can see the shot from high angle make the husband look evil and the wife powerless on the boat. He almost killed her on the boat but he stopped trying to kill his poor wife and did beg her when he became good again. But the wife afraid of him and ran away. She didn’t actually believe him until they get to the church and saw the wedding. You can see the special effect when they walked out of the church and walking down the street. You can see that the background of the city street changed to the park with trees and flowers. I think it mean that they are all ok and happy. And you can see the husband look different when he shaved his face in the hair cut place. And again, you will see a lady who works in the hair cut place with the black dress, evil is coming to the husband and tried to flirt with him when he was shaved. But the husband denied it at that time. After he shaved, he seems like he is a handsome, nice husband. He protected his wife from the guy in the hair cut place. And you can see that see that they looked so happy when they are taking picture, going to the restaurant and dancing together. Everyone is cheering for them. That was the most lovely sequence in the film.
And you can see another special effect in the shot that they are having the wine in the restaurant. You can see some cupids flying on their heads when they are hugging each other in the restaurant. And the waiter guy did ruin their moment by bringing the check and standing behind them. And the waiter guy looks at them and acted like he doesn’t think that they can pay for their bill. I think he underestimate them by the way they dress up. Well, to be honest, I think that place is a high class place for them to dine in. But they still could pay their bill finally. On the way back home, they look romantic together on the boat and also in the background, people are dancing happily .Again, the big evil, the storm comes at night. You can see that the way the wind and the water are. It looks scary when they are on a small boat and the big storm came with wind and water. When the storm first started, she is sleeping in the boat and didn’t wake up right away. I think she didn’t wake up because she was drunk. And then, she woke up, ran into her husband and hugs him so tight because she was scared to death. And the scary storm flipped their boat upside down, make flow them apart and water goes steady.
The husband woke up and looked for his wife who wasn’t there and he feel really depressing. So, he went to his village back and asks for the people to help him find his wife. And you can see that lots of villagers came out of their house and helped him find his wife compared to they talked behind the husband when he was with the lady from the city. You can see that even the old couple who is working in the lady from the city’s house came out to help him. The director’s message in this shot is people like the good person compared to the evil. The husband and the villagers are looking for his wife through the whole river. But it was dark at night and they can’t find her easily. They saw the plants that husband tied to his wife’s body spread around the river and he thought she’s dead. So, they went back to the village and the husband cried a lot on his wife’s bed. At that time, the lady from the city came to his house because she thinks that he did what she told him to do. And when he sees her he looks angry and evil again and tried to kill her. The low angle shot from the far about the husband and the lady from the city makes the husband scary and posses. He looked like a monster at that time and he choked her. But he let her go when the old lady came and told him that his wife is saved. And then he went to his wife and sat next to her bed and comforts her. And the evil lady went out of the village. And the final shot comes up with their romantic lovely kissing shot.
My conclusion about this movie is that nobody likes evil. Everybody loves good, kind and honest people. The good person might not win the game today, tomorrow but he or she will win the game in final. And it also effect in our real world. If you do good things, good things are going to be back to you and if you did bad things, bad things are going to be back to you. What you do is what you deserve in final. The lighting effects, the camera techniques that were in this film are all important and role model for the films that we have today.

Blog- 12
sorry, i was thinking i wrote the blog 12 already but it was actually blog 11 which is the same report about research. i was researching about the Korean high school student murdered lots of students in the school because he played lots of shooting games and he became violence.i still need to find more reasons to prove that TV is not the only thing that makes the violence in the United States because i need to write 20 pages. i just need to find more reasons and evidences to prove my way of thinking.

in the class this morning, i wrote that TV is the most influential device that increase the crime rate in the United states. But in the lab, i did some researchs to prove why i think so and i found out that TV is not the only device that increase the crime rates. u can see that the use of computers and internet to see violent stuffs can also increase the crime rate as the same way as TVs do.because we have more computers than TVs these days and the numbers are still hugely increasing.Let's see in a family of 6 people, i'm sure that they don't have 6 TVs. they will probably have 3 Tvs maximum.But for compuetrs, they can have 4 or 5 computers in a family of 6. most of them could be laptops.computers are getting cheaper in these days and TVs are still expensive if you compare with computers. so, i change my goal to not only computers could increase the violent rate but also the compuers and internet.For the next class,i will do research to get more reasons and evidences to prove that what i think is right.

“Why I said what I said to JOHNNY FLORES"
