I have never personally watched the program, but the examples semiotic expression used in the picture you placed in your blog says a lot about the show. I think you did a great job analyzing “ Entourage” as a media text.

Through the focus on the sequence of events we can be critical about how we feel each character should have handled each situation. As you stated before the plot of each episode consist of “each character being confronted with what happened in last episode, then that character give testimonial in following episode from their perspective.” We can be critical of how the characters narrate the story from their point of view when the mockumentary shows the audience captured footage. The mockumentary type presentation makes way for narrative criticism. Since the show is made as a mockumentary, it demonstrates how regular people act in everyday life, but in a comical atmosphere. Certain signs allow us to figure out our lives as well as predict what might be happening in others.Īnalyzing “ The Office” as a form of media text was a very good choice. People tend to want to make sense of their experiences. Being critical of the media allows us to analyze the signs and symbols embedded in text, thus enabling us to see the big picture. With that being said, I also agree with your view on Media Criticism as a study. For this, I believe that the media can be quite insensitive when it comes to other cultures and slows down our societal growth when it comes to cultural tolerance from a multiperspectival view. No one wants to be the butt of a joke or conversation. A lot of people tend to stick to what they are told so they do not feel the need to break away from their comfort zone as long as they are on the good end of the stereotypical view. I agree that perceptions of many social groups have been influenced by the media. The media plays a big role in our everyday lives and shapes how we think of each other as well as ourselves. I really like the way you opened your discussion about the various media text placed in our culture. I believe it is safe to say that I agree with a lot of what my classmates had to say. To help write my final blog, I chose three of my classmate’s blogs, Jorge Brown-Ogeda, Fred Santarelli, and Christian Taylor, to read over and analyze.

This happens to be my favorite blog post because I was able to check out what my classmates had to say about what they learned in Media Criticism. It’s interesting how there are so many different media text, but almost all of them enforce the same ideologies. I am now able to analyze different text in search of deeper meaning. I am also proud to say that I have become quite the media critic. I enjoyed writing about different forms of media text that we see every day. Hello everyone! Unfortunately, this will be the last blog I will be posting this semester.
