Vertical Integration:

The Big 6 companies dominate because they own their own personal Productions, Distribution and Exhibition. This means that most of the profits are brought back to them (other than the few profits they have to use for un-owned exhibitions).

ADR mixers correct dialogue and sound that was un-needed and problematic in the original production (background sound, dialogue with lip-synching,cleans up audio) 

Gaffer: The Gaffer is the head of the Lighting and Power Department on a film set.

Grip: Makes sure the set and rigs are safe to use.

Homework 1

 1) Media shouldn't be allowed to embarrass or humiliate people. I believe that media shouldn't treat its users badly as people have their own opinions on what they believe in. In addition, embarrassing or humiliating people can have extremely bad consequences. Most media is made for entertainment or advertising, so if you don't like something that's on there you should just continue on as it is none of your business (unless it is something truly bad). If something isn't your type then either move on from it or block the account so you cant see the content. 2) media is neutral/unbiased This statement is false, as many forms of media can be lies just to get your attention.

Media Language Analysis

Mise-en-scene The fact that 007 is wearing all black could signify that he is going to be sneaking around undercover, looking more commando then professional. Also, he has a gun and holster, showing that he knows what he is doing and is ready for what he is doing. By showing the watch on his left wrist means that it could be something important, such as a spy gadget, because if it wasn't important, it wouldn't be shown (or it could advertise a brand such as a rolex). As...
