==Beretta Smith-Shomade==
Beretta Smith-Shomade (pronounced "show-ma-day") examines "four intertwined elements in [1990s] television comedy that define and give meaning to Black women's representation there: work roles, characterization, class, and identity" (48).

*Work and class. When Joan snoops in Marcus's apartment, she notes music by [[w:John Coltrane|John Coltrane]] and [[W:Macy Gray|Macy Gray]] and a novel by [[W:Walter Mosley|Walter Mosley]]. What do these signifiers tell you about Marcus's social class? Also, elsewhere in the episode there are allusions to the Tuskegee Syphilis Study, Nelson Mandela, and Rainbow/PUSH. Each is a significant reference within black culture.

**The [[w:Tuskegee Syphilis Study|Tuskegee Syphilis Study]] (here in Alabama!) subjected many black men to the disease without proper treatment or information before the experiment. This contributed to a growing mistrust between the black community and medical professionals.
**[[w:Nelson Mandela|Nelson Mandela]] was jailed for 27 years in South Africa for fighting to end apartheid.

**Skin shade. How does skin shade define black characters? Describe how this episode directly addresses this issue in the black community. Is there a moral to this story?
**Hair. How do hair styles define black characters? What hair-style differences do you see in the ''Girlfriends'' characters and what do they tell you about Toni, Maya, Joan, and Lynn?

*Characterization (i.e., conventional roles and stereotypes). Does ''Girlfriends'' rely on African-American stereotypes? E.g., "mammy," "sapphire," "tragic mulatto," etc.

Also, elsewhere in the episode there are allusions to the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, Nelson Mandela, and Rainbow/PUSH. Each is a significant allusion within black culture. What/who are they?

**The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment subjected many black men to the disease without proper treatment or information before the experiment. This contributed to a growing mistrust between the black community and medical professionals.
**Nelson Mandela was jailed for 27 years in South Africa for fighting to end apartheid.
**Rainbow/PUSH is a non-profit intended to empower black individuals within government positions. PUSH stands for People United to Serve Humanity.
*Identity
**Language. How does the way they speak define black characters? What differences do you hear in the ''Girlfriends'' characters' speech?
**Skin shade. How does skin shade define black characters? Describe how this episode directly addresses this issue in the black community. Is there a moral to this story?
**Hair. How do hair styles define black characters? What hair-style differences do you see in the ''Girlfriends'' characters and what do they tell you about Toni, Maya, Joan, and Lynn?

*Characterization (i.e., conventional roles and stereotypes). Does ''Girlfriends'' rely on African-American stereotypes? E.g., "mammy," "sapphire," "tragic mulatto," etc.

Beretta Smith-Shomade (pronounced "show-ma-day") examines "four intertwined elements in [1990s] television comedy that define and give meaning to Black women's representation there: work roles, characterization, class, and identity" (48).

*Work and class. When Joan snoops in Marcus's apartment, she notes music by John Coltrane and Macy Gray and a novel by Walter Mosley. What do these allusions tell you about Marcus's social class? Also, elsewhere in the episode there are allusions to the Tuskegee syphilis experiment, Nelson Mandela, and Rainbow/PUSH. Each is a significant allusion within black culture. What/who are they?

**The Tuskegee Syphilis Experiment subjected many black men to the disease without proper treatment or information before the experiment. This contributed to a growing mistrust between the black community and medical professionals.
**Nelson Mandela was jailed for 27 years in South Africa for fighting to end apartheid.
**Rainbow/PUSH is a non-profit intended to empower black individuals within government positions. PUSH stands for People United to Serve Humanity.
*Identity
**Language. How does the way they speak define black characters? What differences do you hear in the ''Girlfriends'' characters' speech?
**Skin shade. How does skin shade define black characters? Describe how this episode directly addresses this issue in the black community. Is there a moral to this story?
**Hair. How do hair styles define black characters? What hair-style differences do you see in the ''Girlfriends'' characters and what do they tell you about Toni, Maya, Joan, and Lynn?

*Characterization (i.e., conventional roles and stereotypes). Does ''Girlfriends'' rely on African-American stereotypes? E.g., "mammy," "sapphire," "tragic mulatto," etc.

Table 5.3 "Multiple-camera and single-camera schemas" (''Television Style'', p. 196) summarizes the differences between the two. What elements of the single-camera televisual schema can you identify in the opening scene of ''Reservation Dogs'' ([https://tvcrit.org/Classes/Jbutler/BUI301/F22/resdogsjb/index.html see screenshots], directed by Sydney Freeland?

===''Seinfeld'' scene reenactment ''as a single-camera production''===
We will reshoot [https://tvcrit.org/Classes/Jbutler/T311/SEINFELDScript.pdf this scene] from "The Contest" as a ''televisual'' scene--in a series of still photographs.
*[https://vimeo.com/766951657 The resulting video!]

'''Camera operators (see below): please be sure to shoot images in "landscape" format.'''

*The scene starts with Jerry and George seated at a table in Tuomey. Elaine is in Gorgas Library.
**Kate and Ava will shoot "in-studio" (on the "set" that is the Tuomey interior), upstairs in the faculty office.
**Daisy and Logan will shoot Archi in Gorgas Library, walking to Tuomey, and walking up the stairs. (Optional: shoot Archi gazing at a JFK, Jr. type.)
**Alex and Marguerite will shoot B-roll footage--six photographs of the exterior of Tuomey and Gorgas and random shots around the Quad.
*Instead of Elaine entering on her line, "...John F. Kennedy Jr.", she will phone Jerry. Jerry will put her on speaker so that he and George can talk to her.
*After Jerry says, "Good one," Elaine says, "Hang on, I'm almost at Tuomey." She then enters Tuomey and stands next to George and Jerry's table, which she says her long monologue.

Table 5.3 "Multiple-camera and single-camera schemas" (''Television Style'', p. 196) summarizes the differences between the two. What elements of the single-camera televisual schema can you identify in the opening scene of ''Reservation Dogs'' ([https://tvcrit.org/Classes/Jbutler/BUI301/F22/resdogsjb/index.html see screenshots], directed by Sydney Freeland?

===''Seinfeld'' scene reenactment ''as a single-camera production''===
We will reshoot [https://tvcrit.org/Classes/Jbutler/T311/SEINFELDScript.pdf this scene] from "The Contest" as a ''televisual'' scene--in a series of still photographs.
*[https://vimeo.com/766951657 The resulting video!]

'''Camera operators (see below): please be sure to shoot images in "landscape" format.'''

*The scene starts with Jerry and George seated at a table in Tuomey. Elaine is in Gorgas Library.
**Kate and Ava will shoot "in-studio" (on the "set" that is the Tuomey interior), upstairs in the faculty office.
**Daisy and Logan will shoot Archi in Gorgas Library, walking to Tuomey, and walking up the stairs. (Optional: shoot Archi gazing at a JFK, Jr. type.)
**Alex and Marguerite will shoot B-roll footage--six photographs of the exterior of Tuomey and Gorgas and random shots around the Quad.
*Instead of Elaine entering on her line, "...John F. Kennedy Jr.", she will phone Jerry. Jerry will put her on speaker so that he and George can talk to her.
*After Jerry says, "Good one," Elaine says, "Hang on, I'm almost at Tuomey." She then enters Tuomey and stands next to George and Jerry's table, which she says her long monologue.

**Daisy and Logan will shoot Archi in Gorgas Library, walking to Tuomey, and walking up the stairs. (Optional: shoot Archi gazing at a JFK, Jr. type.)
**Alex and Marguerite will shoot B-roll footage--six photographs of the exterior of Tuomey and Gorgas and random shots around the Quad.
*Instead of Elaine entering on her line, "...John F. Kennedy Jr.", she will phone Jerry. Jerry will put her on speaker so that he and George can talk to her.
*After Jerry says, "Good one," Elaine says, "Hang on, I'm almost at Tuomey." She then enters Tuomey and stands next to George and Jerry's table, which she says her long monologue.
