The Grand Budapest Hotel (Wes Anderson, 2014) is a story about story as told by a storyteller. It builds these stories around quirky visual aesthetics, so much so, that some may complain it lacks any real message or meaning. And to some extent they are right, if we are to believe its director Wes Anderson: “when I do a movie, all I want to do is make an experience that can be as strong a version of whatever it is as it can be. I don’t really like any explanations….my opinion about it is really irrelevant, so then it’s a good idea not to have one [a message].”(Time). Nonetheless, even a film without a message has themes, whether it intends to or not. One of the central themes revolves around the value of storytelling, as we are constantly reminded that The Grand Budapest Hotel is a story through its overtly self-aware nature, which is no more evident than in the films introduction.

For my Media Literacy assignment, I choose one of my favorite television shows “The Night Of “(2016). First aired in the summer of 2016 by HBO/Sky Atlantic and produced by Academy Award winning screenwriter Steven Zaillian and novelist Richard Price, the criminal limited mini-series drama was based on the Britain BBC/Sky Atlantic original mini-series “Criminal Justice” created by Peter Moffat in 2008 (Paskin, 2016). According to the HBO website, the limited movie-series “The Night Of” received five Golden Globe nominations and high ratings among movie critics and viewers as well (Paskin, 2016).

In this assignment, I chose to examine the three different media outlets of Netflix, Pokemon Go, and Tumblr.

The media is one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful, ways though which social issues are influenced. The influence exerted on the issue can either help resolve it, or make it worse. As such, the information a presented in the media is very specific so as to control the direction of certain issues. Such issues may include war, immigration, or gay rights. As far as gays rights are concerned, the progression of this issue has been very slow due to the portrayal of gays in the media. First, there was a lack of representation. Then, it moved to a misrepresentation of gays in the media. The representation of gays in the media has created a specific image of gay individuals that is used to perpetuate inequality and discrimination

Media sources are not the best thing to think about when you want to be informed with news and other special events. Most sources can mislead people and society as a result. So how can media source's effect people and our society.

The director uses a lot of close ups through the entire film, which allows the viewer to see the face expression of each character. The characters in this film act with a lot of laughing, crying and screaming, the director decided to use a theatrical approach to show the importance of the

Before this class I never really had analyzed the variety film techniques director’s use, but taking this class had made me realize that film is an art that creates illusions on the screen. When I watched Drive that is when I had realized the director’s intentions to contrast different colors in order to tell a story, it’s not mainly about the dialogue if not the visual presentation of the movie. Drive is an exhilarating film that uses various techniques in order to support the theme such as warm vs cool lighting, actor’s position, and tight frames being demonstrated throughout the movie in a way to create mystery and illusion towards the characters.

Media is a huge influence on how the family is portrayed because television and movies are a source for learning how family structure should be. Comedies in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s showed family structures should more nuclear through shows like The Brady Bunch and Leave It to Beaver with a bread winning dad and a stay at home mom. Media made the expectations of families to be picture perfect and traditional. As time went on more racial diversity came into place through successful shows like The Cosby Show in the 1980’s. The media alters and adapts to the view of what a family should be like based on social and economical circumstances within our society. A perfect example of the modern view of family today is the hit

1) How do movies express meaning? It is important to consider in film studies because the basic tools of filmmaking help organize design of a film, and the filmmakers are able to express a range of meanings.

It is very beneficial to distil a concept to its essence to assist with the exploration of certain notions. Knowing what lies at the core of our subjective message as film makers will ultimately have the ability to capture the target audience more effectively, especially with an experimental production where the subject can be allusive or a test to grapple with.

The Mass media is the communication of spoken, written, or broadcast information or idea to a large audience. This could be through various medium such as newspapers, magazines, television, Internet, radio, movies, video games and others. This essay will analyse the representation of crime in newspapers and television. Newspapers are a very important type of media that keep the public informed about happening in the society and around the world. The newspapers tend to give a negative or an exaggerated or an inappropriate account of events especially when the report is related to a criminal activity. This representation of events may be hugely misleading and give the wrong ideas to the audience which may lead to an inappropriate response by society.

Many aspects of an image are considered by news agencies to decide if the image is suitable for a publication. The decision-making process of publishing images of graphic content varies by publication, and not all publication take the same position. For the Associated Press it was ethical to publish photographer Julie Jacobson’s image of Marine Lance Cpl. Joshua M. Bernard in the Afghanistan war.

Mass media is a media intended for a large audience. It may take the form of broadcast media, as in the case of television and radio, or print media, like newspapers and magazines. Internet media can also attain mass media status, and many media outlets maintain a web presence to take advantage of the ready availability of Internet in many regions of the world. Some people also refer to it as the “mainstream media,” referencing the fact that it tends to stick to prominent stories which will be of interest to a general audience, sometimes ignoring controversial breaking news. Many people around the world rely on this form of media for news and entertainment, and globally, it is a huge industry.

It can change opinions because they have access to people and this gives it a lot of strength. This strength can either be used constructively by educating the people or it can be used destructively by misleading the innocent people. Power of the media can transform the whole society especially in the developing countries it can be used as a 'weapon of mass destruction'. But I think the most important use of media is to educate the people about the basic human rights. The dilemma of the developing countries is that people are not fully aware of their basic rights and if they know, they don't know about what to do and where to go. They don't know their collective strength. Even they don't know how to protest and what is the importance of
