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.
