Realism is referred to as thinking something is based on life-like actions or reality. Reality television shows and Hollywood movies are a perfect example of this. The object of both is to entertain the audience as well as make them believe for however long that segment of the show or however long the movie lasts is based upon true events and situations.
I will focus on reality television first:
This clip shows some of the drama that occurred on the reality television show, Jersey Shore. The goal of the producers was to show as much drama that would entertain their audience as well as focus on the character's that have the most dynamic personalities that tend to be the center of problems or start them. In this clip the characters are Mike "The Situation", Vinnie, Pauly D, Ronnie, Angelina, Sammi, Nicole "Snookie", and Jenni "JWOWW". Although some of the cast is not on the show since this season, they still continue to focus on certain characters. One of the characters they tend to focus on is Angelina, because there always seems to be drama or fights that are started because of her.
The media and other people criticize the show even though it is very popular. The characters only focus on GTL (gym, tan, laundry) and partying. If I thought that is really how people live then not only would I be very naiive, but I would also may or may not want to grow up like that.
Now, I will focus on Hollywood movies:
This is a trailer of the movie Avatar. It is supposed to be realistic and it captivates us for the entire movie. We feel as if we are there and we are living in the same world they are. However we know as soon as the screen turns black and the credits roll that most of that movie is not real at all.
About Me
- brandi d
- I am very shy at first but when you get to know me you'll know I never shut up. I have a sarcastic sense humor and like to joke around a lot but I can also be very compassionate. I am a huge sports fan and I am obsessed with baseball. My favorite place to be is Turner Field and before I die I want to visit every MLB stadium at least once. I am a very basic person and do not rely on lots of materialistic things- I think high maintenance people are either gold diggers or extremely selfish or both and I wouldn't date one so I'm not a huge fan. I love tattoos because they are creative and artistic and permanent. I am a very impulsive person but I like to make my actions and words clear and remembered. If you have any questions feel free to ask!
