Popular culture is the artistic and creative expression in entertainment and style that appeals to society as whole. It includes music, film, sports, painting, sculpture, and even photography. It can be diffused in many ways, but one of the most powerful and effective ways to address society is through film and television. Broadcasting, radio and television are the primary means by which information and entertainment are delivered to the public in virtually every nation around the world, and they have become a crucial instrument of modern social and political organization.

It is also a cross-cultural translatability as it is understood in a diversity of contexts and markets. According to Graeme Burton (2000), the genre study leads to understanding of audience pleasures and revelation of cultural myths. Also an understanding of finance and marketing within television and finally an understanding of intertextuality and postmodernist forms of television. However audiences are aware of the codes and conventions that distinguish one genre product from the next. Genre has to be what

When watching movies, one can usually decipher what is fake and what is real, as well as, who is acting and who is not. Whether that be through exaggerated effects, poor acting, or previous knowledge, one can decide early on if the film being viewed is factual or fabricated. However, Exit Through the Gift Shop, a film directed by street artist Banksy, has left many viewers unsure if the film is an authentic documentary or merely a “mockumentary.” While some elements of the movie contain truthful content, it can be concluded that the film as a whole is a mockumentary, and just another one of Banksy’s notorious pranks. One of the first giveaways that the film is fake is by Thierry Guetta, the apparent Los Angeles filmmaker, who is the focal point of the entire documentary.

Authentic application is when students apply the phonics concepts they have learned and apply it to a real world situation like reading and writing. Students can use authentic application through interactive writing. With interactive writing, students are applying their knowledge on phonics to actually take turn writing letters and words.

It describes how documentary films can be used to explore new or ignored realities not seen in narrative films. This way of viewing documentary film draws on new cinematic perspectives and techniques which focus on real world events. Documentary films can also be viewed as confronting assumptions or altering opinions in which some films work to pursued the viewer to challenge conventions through offering a new perspective. Another way that these kinds of film’s can be viewed is as social, cultural or personal lenses such as one could view the two traditions of documentary cinema; the social documentary and the ethnographic film. The main goal of social documentaries is to authentically represent how people live and interact in certain societies, cultures, and situations. One could view The Stories We Tell as a social documentary. Ethnographic cinema, however, traces it’s roots back to early cinema and it focuses on cultural revelations by showing specific peoples, cultures, and rituals marginalized by mainstream culture. This form of filmmaking relies on cinéma vérité, or truthful cinema, meaning that documentary films must approach and report on these cultures with integrity. Mocumentary’s are humorous and comedic films presented in a documentary style which show a fictional

It is an axiom of cultural studies that a text is anything that generates meaning through signifying practices (barker 393). Cultural studies is a body of theory generated by thinkers who regard the production of theoretical knowledge as a political practice.(barker 5).According to hall, culture is the network of meaning that individuals and groups use to make sense or communicate to one another.In cultural theorists terms, television need to be understood in terms of; texts' program', the relationship between texts and audiences 'audience research', political economy' organization and industries', and pattern of cultural meaning

In this essay, I will explain why a documentary is always more realistic than a fiction film. I will show my thesis by exploring elements that influence how realistic a film is: film editing and format, genre, and transparency. I will use the documentary of Armadillo (2010), by Janus Pedersen, and the fiction film of The Chronicle of Anna Magdalena Bach (1968), by Danièle Huille as examples.

Interaction is an important application between an audience and an artistic medium. According to Koster, “every medium is interactive” (pg. 149). Audiences choose different ways to interact with their medium depending on what they want out of the art. In this instance, despite the lack of “action” in the long productions, people still are fascinated. Hellum discusses how in the slow television, people start to create their own stories and drama when there isn’t any. The audience is interacting with the program in their own way.

In a light of growing appetite for entertainment, filmmakers face uneasy decisions. Decisions that challenge their ethical obligations to make professional documentaries for the social good, not for commercial/financial gain. The tendency to produce cheap and fast films makes it difficult to maintain the scope of professionalism. The title of “documentaries” obligated to be based on real subjects, themes, words, sounds, and images. The scenes cannot be staged, or cut out.

We can define ethnographic film as the type of film that encompasses ethnographic understanding, with the main considerations in the analysis being how the standards and the goals of ethnography are approached and the way information is presented in comparison with written ethnography (Heider, 2007). In this essay, we will attempt to illustrate the potentials and the limitations of two selected films for understanding different cultures.
