Mr. Falcon Working On Top Chef 9

I remember the running and chasing I had to do during this episode. One thing about Hollywood is that you must be alert and be ready for the unexpected. And 17 hour work days. All for one perfect vision.

Give me your thought... What are differences and issues between a feature film camera operator and a reality television camera operator?

If you have done your research, you will find out that the reality tv network is in high demand and most sitcom and film production crew are trying to make that switch for more potential and the most money paid to a production crew.

Keep in mind that budget is considered especially when they do not pay reality stars like sitcoms pay their actors.

Please explain it in a few paragraphs.
Think about it.

International media with a specific message. What is the message?

*UPDATED: JANUARY 31, 2012*
Please watch entire documentary.
Also answer these questions:
What are the filmmakers message?
Is this intended to point out the city's crime problem or the children in the film?
Why do you think the producer focused on children? Are the children in the film portrayed as normal kids?

Explain in detail, in a journalistic view, your answers in a brief two paragraph essay
Please dont forget the five w's and how.....

Remember the communication process we learned the past two weeks. Who is the sender? What is the message? Is there any noise delaying the communication process, if so what were they? Who is the receiver?

After you have posted your essay,
please go to WWW.ADWEEK.COM and post an article or video about blogging and technology. Remember to use the search bar on ADWEEK.COM.

IF ALL IS NOT COMPLETED, YOU WILL RECEIVE ZERO.
I will return tomorrow expecting to have all completed.

Be honest and specific, but intelligent.
Thank you
