Television provides an outlet for people to get the news, seeing commercials on TV that can create persuasive messages and emotional experiences that are different to others. Also, television is used for entertainment by watching movies or TV shows that they are interested in. Encoding and decoding also plays an important role in the way people perceive certain television shows.
Depending on the context of a television show it explains how a person interprets the show. On a show like NYPD Blue, CSI or NCSI the viewer is able to distinguish that whatever happens on the TV show is real life because someone always seems to get hurt. On these TV shows you see friendship grow within the teams due to them extensively working together. On NYPD blue detective Det. Andy Sipowicz is seemed as the father and he keeps the team together. He is also the rough and tough cop while the others do their jobs but they have a different approach to how they do it. This show shows the real life experiences of NYPD officers and the day to day life they live every day. On CSI Grissom is the head of the team and he is also well liked by his employees because he is a people person. This TV show also covey’s a certain look to how Las Vegas is. It starts out showing the glamour of the city and then it shows the team in the lab and they get a case or they show the team at a crime scene ready to get to work on the case.
The way I view television is that there is a lot of violence on TV and sometimes people view it as the norm so it is brushed off. Some portrayal’s our not the norm but for shows like CSI and NYPD blue they are normal to society because they show law enforcement at work and the drama that they have to go through in their everyday life. I am glad that these TV shows are on later because children could end up seeing these and act like the people on TV because a lot of parents use the Television as a babysitter so that they can do their own thing at home and not be bothered by the kids or play games with them. Some commercials on TV that children see are not good because they end up acting like that and the parents wonder where they learn it from and don’t realize that they have seen it on TV. Television is a big part of entertainment and it will always be viewed differently by other people.
Great analysis of the shows. 20 points.
