Cinema and Television

Question:  In your own words, answer today’s lecture question: What is cinema and television studies for?

Answer:

Cinema studies is created with the connection between Marxism, Feminism and modern French philosophy. Cinema and television studies are likeable figures and showed the ability to think and understand things (Starenko, 1998). People want to do all different types of tasks in film and television studies and does not support any orthodoxy (Welsh, 1989).

For example, Australian rural towns depend on cinemas and televisions where both play a crucial role in relation to their culture and social life. They are regarded as a place where society from remote areas can get together and communicate, help to solve disagreements between the society and promote a place of relaxation and peace (Aveyard, 2011). The different type of screen size along with the cinema’s components, attract audiences from all over the world. Cinema gives an idea about different cultures and places worldwide. (Aveyard, 2011).

Cinemas relate and bring society, culture, time and place together in a more broad way (Aveyard, 2011 as cited from Allen, 2006; Fuller-Seeley & Potamanios, 2008). It has been argued that by linking with other people’s concerns and thoughts, for example those discovered within sociology, economics and geography, the relatedness of cinema studies and its coincidence ability for longevity are improved very well. 

“In addition, by employing more comprehensively with the varied situations of film consumption, cinema study is distinguished as a discipline that is thoughtfully and comprehensively engaged with its subject” (Aveyard, 2011 as cited from Bowles, 2007b, p.254-255).
