Yar

Yar is the one who introduces us to the three ways of dissecting the media.
Content Analysis- A self explanatory title, where someone takes the content of a movie/show/or any form of media and analyzes the content of it from their perspective. Recently it's been taken up by criminologists to study films that revolve around crime.
Personally I think this is the best option of the three because it allows one to get so many different perspectives of the film while at the same time allowing oneself to keep their own. While it may cause arguments amongst some, people are always pushing for individuality.
Next is the Marxist Approach-Films are either traditional or critical with no middle ground.
I think the Marxist Approach is too strict of a way to go because it allows no room for budging. You watch something and then you must decide between two options of what it is. In today's world, nothing so black and white that you have no grey area left.
Lastly, the Postmodern way of viewing films. Basically this way states it's impossible to have a clear cut view of any one thing, especially in films.
I have to agree with this one here, I also like to state that I think this goes along well with Content Analysis because it allows for several perspectives on films and the way people view them. To have more than one or two options about how you think about the media is really the only way to go because there are so many forms of it. Nothing about it is just plain black and white, not even the ink on the page anymore. We see colored pictures all the time.

Haywood

   Haywood begins the chapter by talking about images and how much more they have become a part of of our everyday lives. Now unless you live in an Amish community, I have to agree with with Haywood. The media has learned  quickly the ways to use the technology that surrounds us today. For example, on facebook, I find it impossible now to catch up on what my friends are doing without coming across some form of an ad.
   Talking about the images of the crime that are presented to us through many ways, from the video taken on a cell phone and posted on youtube to the picture of a crime scene printed in the newspaper, I feel like Haywood is not only trying to connect students studying crime and media but everyone that has dealt with technology in their life.
