"The New York Times": Media Analysis

In media analysis, a variety of features and elements are considered to impact the film production in a variety of ways. Every production feature is designed to serve a specific function and to make the film much communicative on the intended message. Similarly, every element is made to meet a target listener or viewer in the media production (Juan-José & Casanova 296). Characters are the main component of the entire production in most cases. This is because, without characters, there cannot be filming since they are used to communicate or demonstrate the message of the production. Two characters will be accredited in this discussion as they discuss matters regarding music production industry, marriage, and politics. For instance, in a filmed interview between two or more individuals may require courage and confidence alongside other traits in expressing the message.
