  • BRIDGING MEDIA-SPECIFIC APPROACHES the Value of Feminist Television Criticism’S Synthetic Approach
    BRIDGING MEDIA-SPECIFIC APPROACHES The value of feminist television criticism’s synthetic approach Amanda D. Lotz and Sharon Marie Ross Introduction Feminist study of media encompasses a variety of media forms, each of which possesses a distinct set of issues determined by the medium and how it is used, as well as by the variant theoretical and methodological traditions through which scholars have studied the medium. US feminist film and television criticism have maintained distinct methodological and theoretical emphases—yet the two areas of study are closely related. For example, feminist television studies developed from a synthesis of theoretical and methodological work in a range of fields, including feminist film criticism and theory, and remains at once connected to and distinct from feminist approaches to studying film. The commercial dominance of the US television system required that feminist television critics explore the “popular” to a degree less evident in US feminist film criticism, although feminist film critics have examined mainstream film texts with tools similar to those used by feminist television critics in other national contexts (Joanne Hollows 2000; Jacinda Read 2000; Yvonne Tasker 1993, 1998). Understanding the relationship between varied areas of feminist media scholar- ship—their necessary divergences and their commonalities—aids in developing increasingly sophisticated theory and in responding to technological, socio-cultural, and theoretical changes. The transition to digital formats and hybrid delivery systems has begun to alter traditions of both “film” and “television,” while postfeminist approaches have reinvigorated feminist media debates. Additionally, new media have established a place in popular use and academic criticism. This context makes it more crucial than ever to address the reasons for medium-specific feminist approaches as well as to consider what can be gained through shared conversations.

  • The Work of the Critic
    CHAPTER 1 The Work of the Critic Oh, gentle lady, do not put me to’t. For I am nothing if not critical. —Iago to Desdemona (Shakespeare, Othello, Act 2, Scene I) INTRODUCTION What is the advantage of knowing how to perform television criticism if you are not going to be a professional television critic? The advantage to you as a television viewer is that you will not only be able to make informed judgment about the television programs you watch, but also you will better understand your reaction and the reactions of others who share the experience of watching. Critical acuity enables you to move from casual enjoyment of a television program to a fuller and richer understanding. A viewer who does not possess critical viewing skills may enjoy watching a television program and experience various responses to it, such as laughter, relief, fright, shock, tension, or relaxation. These are fun- damental sensations that people may get from watching television, and, for the most part, viewers who are not critics remain at this level. Critical awareness, however, enables you to move to a higher level that illuminates production practices and enhances your under- standing of culture, human nature, and interpretation. Students studying television production with ambitions to write, direct, edit, produce, and/or become camera operators will find knowledge of television criticism necessary and useful as well. Television criticism is about the evaluation of content, its context, organiza- tion, story and characterization, style, genre, and audience desire. Knowledge of these concepts is the foundation of successful production. THE ENDS OF CRITICISM Just as critics of books evaluate works of fiction and nonfiction by holding them to estab- lished standards, television critics utilize methodology and theory to comprehend, analyze, interpret, and evaluate television programs.

  • The Place of Voiceover in Academic Audiovisual Film and Television Criticism
    EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES www.necsus-ejms.org The Place of Voiceover in Academic Audiovisual Film and Television Criticism Ian Garwood NECSUS 5 (2), Autumn 2016: 271–275 URL: https://necsus-ejms.org/the-place-of-voiceover-in- audiovisual-film-and-television-criticism Keywords: audiovisual essay, criticism, film, television, voiceover The line between academic and non-scholarly video- graphic film criticism The production of The Place of Voiceover in Academic Audiovisual Film and Television Criticism (2016) coincided with the release of two books focused on videographic film studies: The Videographic Essay – Criticism in Sound and Image, edited by Christian Keathley and Jason Mittell;[1] and Film Studies in Motion: From Audiovisual Essay to Academic Research Video, by Thomas van den Berg and Miklos Kiss.[2] The most recent instalments in a rich vein of writing exploring the potential of audiovisual research within screen stud- ies,[3] these two works set out distinctive (audio)visions of the format. A NECSUS – EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF MEDIA STUDIES shared point of deliberation is the balance the ‘academic’ video essay should strike in its adherence to traditional scholarly virtues and its exploration of the audiovisual form’s more ‘poetic’ possibilities. Essentially, Keathley and Mittell encourage film studies academics to loosen up; they begin with a description of editing exercises that invite participants to play with sounds and images in ways to help them ‘unlearn’ their usual habits of academic research and presentation. Van den Berg and Kiss, by contrast, argue po- lemically for a considerable tightening of practice in video essay work, if it is to be considered academically credible.

    Filmmaking 101: Handout: Recording audio © Nils Osmar 2012, All rights reserved. Instructor: Nils Osmar Email: [email protected] For a full list of classes, visit: www.classesandworkshops.com __________________________________________________________ Movies have two components: video and audio. Movies are primarily a visual medium, but the quality of the audio is extremely important in the perceived quality of the final product. Good audio can save a bad movie. Poor audio can ruin a good one. Sound conveys emotion. Video conveys information. (If you listen to a movie with the sound off, you won’t be emotionally involved in it.) (If you're scared of horror films, try watching them with the sound off; they won't scare you at all.) __________________________________________________________ Key points to remember: • The audio track in a movie is made up of several different components mixed together. The components include: - voices - room tone - sound effects and foley - music • Some audio is recorded in the field (on location) on the day of filming. Some is recorded later on in studio. Then it's treated and mixed in studio. • If your goal is to record high quality audio, all of these components need to be of high quality: - your microphone - your microphone holder - the cable connecting it to the recording device - the camcorder or other recording device the microphone is hooked up to. • The connections between the components have to be secure. Audio is only as strong as its weakest link. (A great microphone won't sound good if its connection to the camera has a problem.) The better your movie's soundtrack, the less your audience will be consciously aware of it.
