The Codes of Television

This article seemed redundant and somewhat pointless to me. In television today, there are many ways to portray the "good guy" and the "bad guy." Camera work, lighting, editing etc.. is important in focusing in on the main character, but also the way the character acts and what he of she wears is also in obvious factor to the character. Before i took this class i never really focused on what the camera angles are and what music comes on, but since we have been looking at and discussing more movies I noticed more about what the character is wearing and the way the camera is focused on them. Although this is a good observation to have, it is sometimes nice just to watch a movie, forget all of the technical extras and enjoy a good flick!!!
