    Abstract

    The following paper critically analyzes the Chapter “ Bangladeshi


    Mediascape: Political and Corporate Power” from the book “ The
    Emergence of Bangladesh.” The Chapter is written by Asif Bin Ali and
    Olav Muurlink. The paper will explain the chapter review from the point
    of view of a general student. It will aim to give a comprehension of the
    strength and weaknesses of the Chapter.

    Critical Analysis of Chapter Bangladeshi Mediascape

    Relevancy
    The Chapter includes documentation that is relevant to current
    Bangladesh. It included the popular culture in the country of groups of
    people enjoying Television in a social setting such as tea stalls. The
    Chapter also mentions the influence of Indian media and the
    disadvantages of media that Bangladesh has due to its geographical
    location. It is unbiased, as with India’s influence in Bangladeshi media;
    there were examples of corporate power and the nexus of ruling political
    parties and media. However, the Chapter fails to capture the essence of
    how India Factor manipulates media, especially since the current ruling
    party is in a close relationship with the BJP party in India. One cannot
    simply ignore that the close ties are merely coincidental.

    Jargons 
    Since this paper aims to examine the Chapter through the lens of a
    general student. Technical jargons such as “epistemology,” “ hard
    power,” or “politico-commercial nexus” require prior knowledge by the
    reader to get a good readership. Although such jargon is required due to
    the inherent nature of the subject matter, it still acts as a barrier to
    comprehension. Perhaps small side notes could be written as meaning
    for such terms. This will ensure there isn’t any pragmatic mistakes as
    well.

    Diverse examples of research


    The read was intriguing as it included a lot historical evidence in an
    organized manner. The part where Bangladesh Betar's history is
    mentioned is thoroughly impressive as it gives the reader an
    understanding of where the well-known radio station originated. Apart
    from historical examples, the whole Chapter included definitions and
    evidence from many papers, making it difficult to read with all the major
    parenthesis but is commendable nonetheless. 

    Concluding Thoughts.
    The Chapter is written with many examples from different kinds of
    papers. Some terms made it quite challenging to understand it from the
    point of view of a general student. However, the paper was an insight
    with its rich history and relevancy.

    Abstract

    The following paper critically analyzes the video "Concert for


    Bangladesh: Music to introduce Bangladesh" by Asif Bin Ali and others.

    layman. It will aim to give a comprehension of the strength and
    weaknesses of the video.

    Critical Analysis of Concert for Bangladesh


    Transitions and Cinematography
    Keeping in mind that this review is in the point of view of a layman with
    no proper knowledge regarding cinematography, the transitions through
    each chapter were smooth. Various media, such as animation, pictures,
    and clips, were put together in a simple pack making it easier to follow
    and relate to the topic being discussed. There are subtle sound effects,
    such as that of typing, which enable the viewer to focus effectively.
    While some may argue that the color scheme of yellow-brown
    throughout the video gives it a very dull and mundane visual, it suits the
    subject matter's theme.

    Caption is Gen Z
    Captions are a great addition to any video. Especially on YouTube,
    where one can add captions to their video outside of editing them into
    the source video and ruining them. Although the narration was
    crystalline, adding captions would make it easier to follow the narration.
    The narrator could also try not to sound monotonous, although, given the
    subject matter, it is not surprising to use a more robotic and neutral tone.

    Interviews, source material and the music


    It was fascinating to hear the interview accounts from different experts
    in the video, such as the Barrister who drafted the proclamation of the
    6

    independence of Bangladesh. Not every day one hears such accounts,


    and the video enabled the viewers to enjoy such excerpts. 

    Concluding thoughts
    The video had outstanding animations and cinematography. The
    interviews, clips, and source materials are relevant. It would have been
    enjoyable to watch the whole video with captions.
