  • Virtual Advertising
    18-551 Spring 2000 Group 5 Dallas Baker Jen Deroy Kevin Gotze Virtual Advertising Final Report PROBLEM Advertising is an increasingly important industry in the modern media-driven world, and as technology evolves, it helps advertisers reach their target audience in more and more ways. Ads pop up on Web sites, through sponsorships, and on digital billboards, all to maximize visibility of a company or product. As it is, there is still plenty of wasted advertising, and we feel with the help of technology we can solve one particular problem. Sporting events are broadcasted nationally, yet the ads in the stadium are often oriented to the local market. For example, a Broncos/Steelers game at Mile High Stadium may have ads for a Denver based company, which the fans in Pittsburgh watching on TV are unable to access or benefit from. Or possibly, a Pepsi sponsored event takes place in a stadium in which there are Coca-Cola ads. This sort of counter- productive advertising could easily be remedied with the help of video signal processing. Now that efficient means of implementing this particular technology are available to us, we can superimpose our preferred ads over unwanted ads, like in the case of a CBS broadcast at Times Square. CBS superimposed a CBS logo atop the NBC logo that is on the Times Square TV. THE SOLUTION By digitally altering video footage we overlaid our own ÔGroup 5Õ ad over a Budweiser ad to demonstrate how we could diversify advertising, making the ad more efficient and effective. Given the original ad, we used color information to find the area of the ad in each frame, then superimposed our ad atop of it.

Aldrich, 2. Everywhere we go, we interact with logos in one way or another, whether it is the car we drive, the toothpaste we use, or even the water we buy, a logo is present throughout our every move. The logo can be defined as “a graphic mark or embleM commonly used by commercial enterprises, organizations and even individuals to aid and promote instant public recognition.”1 The logo has evolved over hundreds of years, and due to its continued presence in our lives, there are many facets of the logo that I chose to explore as the primary focus of my thesis.

Early adopters of digital technology postured and distin­ guished their start-ups in overdetermined attempts to promote a series of stark binaries: old media versus new media, passive versus interactive, push versus pull. These forms of promotional "theorization" served well the proprietary need for the dot-corns to individuate and to sell their "vaporware" (a process by which products are prematurely hyped as mere concepts or prototypes before actual products are available, all in an effort to preemptively stall the sales and market share of existing products by competitors).

  • Television Programming
    Chapter 10: Television 1 Television I: Television Programming 10.1 Felix the Cat, 1929. 10.2 First human step on the moon. 10.3 The toppling of Saddam. “This is television. That’s all it is. It’s nothing to do with people. It’s the ratings. For fifty years, we’ve told ‘em what to eat, what to drink, what to wear. For Christ’s sake Ben, don’t you understand? Americans love television. They wean their kids on it. Listen. They love game shows. They love wrestling. They love sports, violence. So what do we do? We give ‘em what they want.” Actor Richard Dawson, as a game show host, in The Running Man (1987, US, Paul Michael Glaser) Television has changed the perceptual base of Western culture and has profoundly influenced the development of other mass media popular arts. It has also changed the avant- garde. The structure and icon function of television programming will be discussed in this chapter. The next chapter will discuss television commercials. Chapter 10: Television 2 The main reason for the cultural and artistic impact of television is easy to identify: for the first time in Western history, the primary source of culture-building images is located within the home itself. Television has produced images ranging from the Felix the Cat doll (10.1) used in NBC’s experimental broadcasts before World War II to the live shots of an American setting foot on the surface of the moon (10.2) to belated scenes of the invasion of Grenada to images of the 2003 war with Iraq such as the one of a Saddam Hussein statue discussed at the very beginning of this book (10.3).

  • A Critical Media Approach to Puerto Rican Olympic Sports
    The Pennsylvania State University The Graduate School College of Communications Branded sports sovereignty: A critical media approach to Puerto Rican Olympic sports A Thesis in Media Studies by Rafael R. Díaz-Torres Copyright 2011 Rafael R. Díaz-Torres Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts August 2011 ii The thesis of Rafael R. Díaz-Torres was revised and approved* by the following: Ronald Bettig Associate Professor of Film-Video and Media Studies Thesis Adviser Michelle Rodino-Colocino Assistant Professor of Film-Video and Media Studies Jeanne Hall Associate Professor of Film-Video and Media Studies Marie Hardin Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Graduate Education * Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT This work studies the concept and idea of sports sovereignty and its application for Puerto Rican Olympic sports representations. A critical mass media approach is applied to the analysis of the role of corporate communications in the construction, representation and consumption of international sports participations and Puerto Rican athletes. Textual analyses of articles, testimonies and films are combined with political economy approaches that seek to question the ways American mass media‟s intervention in Olympic sports undermine the possibility of political power and mobilization for symbolic sports sovereignties that operate in colonial territories like the island of Puerto Rico. This thesis work also questions those discourses that describe the island‟s sports sovereignty as an instrument of resistance capable of generating political power in favor of political decolonization for the territory and its citizens. The operation of Puerto Rico‟s sports sovereignty as a form of commodity within a neo-liberal market economy threatens its progressive politics possibilities and instead transforms it into a reactionary practice that reproduces forms of media imperialism as it also fails to question the United States dominance on the island.

In the October-December quarter, NBCUniversal's broadcast TV ad revenue fell 6.5 percent, after a boost in 2016 from election ads.
