This reading seemed really kind of repeating itself over and over but had some good points to it. It makes a strong point when saying that when looking at a book you know who wrote it and you know what its going to talk about when you get to it. But differently, in television you really don’t know who to give credit for or where it came from or even its attended audience. I see it that when you usually look at a book it usually describes who the intended audience is and what the author hopes you get out of reading the book and what you may learn from it. When you want to watch a TV show or a movie you really don’t see that. Yeah you may push the info button and learn a little bit about what the story behind the movie is but you don’t know much other than that. You have to watch the whole movie or show then to see who should get credit for it or maybe the purpose.
This has a lot to do with the strong section of the reading about genre. When you watch a TV show or read a book you kind of get the sense of what am I reading or watching and how is the writer showing this. You try to decide what gives out the genre when looking at whatever it is your reading or watching and then try to see what genre it goes into. Is it a romance or a horror or even a comedy. But when you see previews for a movie or show you can’t really tell what genre it may fit into. You may get the impression that it is a romance but then end up realizing it’s a comedy. I think this is sort of a reference of how you can read something. You may not be looking at it how it’s meant to be and get the wrong impression. Other than these two points I didn’t really see anything else that was really that important to talk
