conclusionnn
Conclusion- Overall the Laramie project was portrayed very accurately. Many of the events shown were depicted in a very concise way when compared to the articles we researched in the New York Times. The movie used Cultivation, Framing and gate-keeping media theories to guide the viewers to accurate messages and depictions of actual events. We feel as a group the producers and director of the Laramie project did an excellent job of showing the story of Matthew Shepard and the Laramie community. The film makers wanted the viewers to understand hetero-ideology therefore they portrayed this through the actors.
Stirland
When Matthew shepherd was beaten and murdered, the legislature hadn’t passed any law regarding hate crimes. The New York Times covered the fact that there was no current legislation for hate crimes in Wyoming. The New York Times highlights the fact that Wyoming had rejected three hate crime bills since 1994 even until February, eight months, before Matthew’s murder. In an article by James Brooke in the New York Times published October 13 1998, a day after Matthew died, Brooke frames the fact of there being no legislation in 19 states. The New York Times is fair and presents both sides of the debate which shows ethical journalism.
The movie frames and emphasizes the fact that there was no current legislation preventing and heightening the punishment of hate crimes. Throughout the movie cultivation is used to try and get you as the viewer to support gay rights legislation.
The movie mentions that the bill did not pass for 4 years this is true and can be fact-checked in the New York Times opinion article titled “The Matthew Shepherd Act”. It wasn’t until august 2009 that the hate crime bill was actually signed by president Obama.
SHOW CLIP or audio
Over the ten years of trying to get this bill passed, many tried and failed in the act, including, Matthews mother and father Judy and Dennis Shepherd, and Senator Kennedy of Massachusetts. This act would prevent motivated violence toward victims of perceived race, color, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability. A hate crime occurs when the perpetrator of the crime intentionally selects the victim because of who the victim is.

In The Laramie Project the Tectonic Theater Company arrived in Laramie, Wyoming full of angst and fear. Being in the town made members of the company very uneasy as they were met by angry and unaccepting members of the Laramie community. A member of the company knocked on a door of a local resident and was greeted by the husband. When asked what she was doing, she replied that she from New York and they were writing a play about the Matthew Shepard incident. The man angrily asked why she was doing that and his disdain for thier project.
Framing was used to portray Laramie as a cold, intolerant, and hateful town. Had one never been to this town they would be led to believe these things about Laramie. Was this Framing negative, or did it hold some truth?
According to an article published in Newsweek, Dr. Don Cantway, the physician who treated Matthew Shepard said, "This whole thing forced us to look at our warts, to look at our bigotry, the hatreds, the intolerance that exist here." On the other hand, the Laramie narative has gain support in saying that it was a bad drug deal or a robbery gone bad. Officer Reggie Fluty, the officer who wound Shepard believes that is nonsense and says, "All you have to do is look at the evidence. I'm convinced that these guys killed Matt because he was gay."
According t these two opinions of those close to the case and residents of Laramie, the Framing of Laramie being intolerant and resistant to change is accurate.

Time: 4:46-5:08 (maybe longer just depends)
Both in the papers and the movie, henderson changes his plea to guilty and testifies against his friend Mckinney. it was mentioned in the Los Angeles times that he made a deal with the prosecution to avoid exectution, And just like in the movie, Henderson was charged with two life terms, one for Kidnapping Matthew Sheperd and the other for the murder. The movie portrayed this verdict really well and quite realistically.
In the movie, when henderson and his grandmother finished speaking to the judge, Dennis Sheperd stood up to talk with Henderson, letting him know that he was perfectly fine with the death penalty, and so was matthew, although all of the things that were coming out of Dennis Sheperds mouth were correct (according to countless newspaper articles) Dennis ACTUALLY said this to McKinney, not Henderson in court. I believe the movie framed the situation this way in order for the interview with Mckinney to be more eerie, because it wasnt in front of the whole courtroom, it showed a sense of solitary, and i'm sure the director wanted his viewers to feel this way.
According to the New York Times, the girlfriends of the suspects were charged as accesories to the crime, and even allegedly hid the bloody shoes of Sheperd in a storage shed and provided alibis for the boys. Throughout the movie, the girls, Chastity Vera Pasley and Kristen Leann Price, were maybe mentioned a few times, but nothing about them helping the boys with the crime was even acknowledged. The way we felt THIS situation was framed, was wanting the focus to stay mainly on the two boys that commited the murder and not bring in the girls. the director wanted you to get to know Henderson and McKinney on a personal level, and if the girlfriends were included this might not have been possible.

District Court Judge Jeffrey A. Donnell did say these exact words to Russell Henderson, and even the testimonies were in order. The Trial was on the dot with what was read throughout newspapers and the movie did a fantastic job at displaying the truth, even if it is not a documentary the film was really realistic and told the truth throughout.
(we can add screenshots from the film too :)))))

The Death Of Matthew Shepard
# The Laramie Project 3/10
* 2:10-3:42 What they did to him
o On October 7th, 1998, shortly after midnight, Matthew Shepard was offered a ride home, then robbed, tied to a fence, pistol whipped, tortured, and left to die in a remote area in Laramie Wyoming.
o They pistol whipped him with a .357 Magnum gun which officers later found bloody in the back of MiKinney's truck
o They also stole his shoes and wallet (also later found in MiKinney's truck)
o The two assailants tied Matthew to the post with rope that they found in the back of MKinney's truck
* 4:19-5:36 When they found Matthew (cut out part about the kid yelling at him to get up)
o 18 hours later he was rescued by officer Reggie Fluty who saw that his shoes were missing, and that Matthew was covered in blood everywhere except for where he'd apparently been crying. She proceeded to carefullly cut him loose and keep him breathing until they could get him to a hospital.
* 5:47-5:54 "begging for his life."
* 8:55-9:28 Matthew first admitted to the hospital
o When admitted into the hospital, he was placed in the intensive car unit with fractures to the back of his head and in front of his right ear.
o He had severe brain stem damage, affecting his body's ability to regulate heart rate, body temperature, and other vital functions.
o There were dozens of small lacerations around his head, face, and neck.
o The doctors deemed his injuries to severe to operate.
# Framing - The way these clips are filmed really sets the scene for how this information was retrieved. They're very factual, and appear to be the complete and whole truth as the audeince feels as though they are sitting there with the interviewee and they are the ones conducting the interview. In reality, all of these scenes and information is correct. They may have left out a few minor facts about all of Matthew's injuries, but they didn't fabricate anything, and they included all the major events with perfect accuracy.
# Cultivation - This part of the movie is presented in a way that makes the audience feel like all of this is happening all in the moment. This gives them a closer tie to their emotions which in turn creates them to feel more sympathetic towards Mathew and less likely to believe any of the data that comes out later in the show questioning whether or not it was a hate crime at all. This movie gives a very clear opinion that this was a hate crime and therefor cultivates the minds of the audience to feel as though gay rights and hate crime legislation needs to be passed as well as the two assailants receiving the death penalty.
# Gatekeeping - The movie does a really job of giving the audience all the facts when concerning the death of Matthew Shepard. They didn't leave out any vital information, and do a good job of covering it in a way that appears to be highly objective.
# Overall, this aspect of the movie was covered very factually.

Laramie Ten Years Later
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hgkwl6Zi4VQ&feature=related
This clip is interviews with all the real people from Laramie ten years later and they talk a lot about legislation and how it still hasn't been passed. Later on the cop who found him and a few other people talk about how there's no possible way that the two guys did it under the influence. I suggest watching the whole thing cause the Mayor's pretty blunt and just says some pretty outrageous crap.

-As a counterprotest during Henderson's trial, a friend of Shepard's created "Angels of Peace", wherein individuals assembled in a circle around the Phelps group wearing white robes and gigantic wings that literally blocked the protesters (who were confined to a small protest square by police) from the view of passers-by. A similar angel tactic has been reused a number of times at other protests by Phelps, but less effectively as the "Angels" are now required to stay in their own separate protest square.

Thoughts on Laramie Project- Neiufi
I wrote down a bunch of stuff while I watched Laramie Project. I tried to be objective and think about the things that are framed and what might have been left out. This is a pretty rough draft but it was just what I thought as I tried to be objective about this movie which is against how I usually watch movies I usually just go along with what is portrayed or framed.
-Why did they include or show the interviews they did?
-Frames -horrible crime -no one would talk about it -Wyoming is intolerant of homosexuals -Russel and Aaron are poor and dumb
-Laramie people wouldnt do this crime
-Laramie is innocent and pure but Matthew ruined this
-You need to be nervous if you are gay and in Laramie
-Laramie now needs to save its identity
-Try to portray "Matt" very positively- he was so optimistic and open and a great leader that was not ashamed
-Portray Matt as innocent
-Aaron and Russell planned and carryed out a hate crime, not a robbery or fight (Russel came back into town and fought someone else later)
-Portrayed as a gruesome murder, alot of emphasis on the description of Matthews physical injuries
-Matthew is an ultimate victim, helpless
-Laramie was angry at Rus and Aaron
-There is a hatred toward homosexuals, Laramie teaches intolerance
-turned into a global incident
-Portray Matt as a martyr that he freed many homosexuals from hiding or repressing their sexuality
-Hate crime is hate crime, why wasnt there more coverage on other crimes like the on recieved in this case?
-What would the judge have done or how would he have treated this case without the global attention or without the issue of gay rights
-Why the influenece of the Mormon relgion for Aaron, what religion was Russ? does it matter?
-How was the Priest framed vs how the Reverend was framed
-Interesting how the identity struggle of Laramie is portrayed.
It was interesting to see how differently I watched this movie objectively than I normally watch movies. I feel like a learned more and can get more than I usually would. This is going to be an interesting project and I hope we can present what we find effectively.

Colby Bair - Political Cartoons
http://www.politicalcartoons.com/cartoon/9b7462d4-ad7d-49c5-bf8c-b9de4034ef7d.html
IMMIGRATION & UNDOCUMENTED WORKERS
Team Member Name: ____Colby Bair________
Publication___The Record of Hackensack, NJ__Date:__November 25, 2009_
Cartoonist:___Jimmy Margulies______U.S./International? (circle)
Title of the cartoon:_____Lou Dobbs For Senate______Cartoon#_71654_
What action is taking place in the cartoon?
In this Cartoon by Jimmy Margulies, Lou Dobbs is running for Senator of New Jersey. Behind Dobbs is a sign saying "Deport Senator Robert Mendez". A man and a woman are listening as the man says to her, "Doesn't he mean defeat mendez?" and the woman replies that she doesn't think so. Robert Mendez is the current Senator of New Jersey born and raised by immigrant parents in Union City. Dobbs is a well known pundit for CNN, and very outspoken when it comes to immigration issues. This cartoon is an example of framing because it creates a reality to the reader that portrays Dobbs as so much against immigration that he would want to even deport a United States Senator. One who was not well informed or watched any of Lou Dobbs show would consequently be led to believe that he is very agaisnt immigration. Wether that be true of not this cartoon serves its purpose as framing him in that way.
Tone of the cartoon:
1) positive or negative framing of undocumented immigrants (circle answer)

Title of the cartoon:___Immigration Hulk_____Cartoon#_53161__
What action is taking place in the cartoon?
In this cartoon boy and girl are going to the movies. They look at a poster of the incredible hulk and the boy says to the girl, "That happens everytime you bring up illegal immigration around your uncle. Only in his case its toxic radation from talk radio that altered his genetic chemisty. This shows that the girl uncle apparently gets upset over the immigration issue as a consequence of listening to talk radio. The cartoon is a representation of the Selective Perception theory itself as it refers to the uncle getting angry over what he is listening to while someone on the other side of the issue may not be so angry because of thier views and opinions. As a personal example, while listening to Rush Limbaugh a friend of mine will become very worked up about the things Limbaugh is talking about, probably as much as Limbaugh himself. Whlie on the other side I think his claims are ridiculous and pay little attention. How we think, how we are raised, our veiws and beliefs affect the things we hear and see in the media and this cartoon is an example of that.
