Chapter 41

Television is a very dramatic medium because it uses traditional drama represented by characters, gestures, dialogue, etc. Dramatic medium means that it is full of expression. Television is the source of media that is most used today. A study showed that American men watch dramatic shows on the t.v. over twelve hours per week and American women watch them for over sixteen hours per week. Obviously, this is the most popular source of media. One reason this is true, is because it has the most dramatic material on it.
