The following thesis is adapted from screenplay format. The document from which it derives serves as a shooting script for a film/video called A World Without You . The shooting script contains explicit scene description, camera set-ups that include angle and lens choices, dialog, and transitions - all the relevant instruction needed for anyone to reproduce the film with explicit similarity to its original. The thesis reflects a series of short videos I completed as research. In their finished state, the series of videos coalesce to a single film/video with a sixty-two-minute running time. That conglomeration emerged as a “shadow” or “inversion” of a twenty-minute, singlechannel video loop called Intermission For Deleted Acts, which served as centerpiece to my thesis exhibition. The script navigates themes of environmental catastrophe, companionship, survival, surveillance, and art practice. The following thesis attempts to keep the screenplay formatting intact to communicate both its functionality and aesthetic quality.

Considering news as a product of the complex interplay of the dominant political power, as a social construction of reality, and as a significant cultural form, this study analyzes coverage of the Beijing pro-democracy movement in 1989 across five newspapers. The five papers under study were The New York Times, People's Daily of mainland China, The Times of London, Sing Tao Daily of Hong Kong, and United Daily News of Taiwan. The period of observation was from April 18 to June 15, 1989. The first three paragraphs of news stories related to the Beijing pro-democracy movement in the five newspapers were coded and analyzed. / The content analysis results revealed that thematic emphasis of the Beijing movement was similar across the five newspapers. Pro-democracy movement, government/party, local/foreign reactions, and military/police were the leading themes across the papers. However, the Beijing story presented by the five papers varied noticeably in tone, especially between the national and international coverage. Treating The New York Times and The Times of London as foreign papers, United Daily News and Sing Tao Daily as papers of mixed domestic and foreign characters due to Hong Kong and Taiwan's political and cultural ties to China, and People's Daily as an exclusively national publication, three versions of the Beijing story were revealed. In fact, each paper reflected its society's concern and presented its own meaning of the story. Similar patterns of reporting in the emphasis of broad news themes across the five countries appeared to be the product of the universal journalistic practices. Differences in the portrayal of the Beijing movement and the Chinese authority seemed attributable to government influence and sociopolitical conditions existing in the countries at the time the event occurred. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 55-11, Section: A, page: 3341. / Major Professor: John K.
