In reference to the notion “myths and heroes” we studied “In the limelight”. A myth is a traditional story that may or not be true. They can involve a natural or social phenomenon and typically includes supernatural beings or events. A hero is a person who is admired for his courage or noble qualities. It can be the main character in a book or a movie or it might be a person with superhuman qualities. “In the limelight” is an expression meaning to be the object of public attention. My first document is a photography of Marilyn Monroe, the second is the document with Jennifer Garner, the third is the document with Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the fourth is the photography of a hidden telescopic lens. We saw that the paparazzi hound the stars, and that their techniques to get the best shot are often dangerous. To what extent are the paparazzi considered a problem? To address this issue, I will first talk about privacy and them consequences.
I. Privacy
Let’s start with the different ways that the paparazzi use to intrude into stars private life. They want the best photograph, the one which will make more money, in order to do that they employ the use of very sophisticated equipment. So they can hide spy cameras on stars or use their new telescopic lenses which permit them to have high quality picture even if they are quite far. They even stalk them without care of being discrete . Which leads to some kind of unbearable harassment for the stars. For instance Jennifer Garner claimed for the right to their privacy for their children. These invasions of privacy are due to tabloids which are ready to pay a lot of money for these photographs to illustrate their gossip. Indeed this kind of magazines has more and more success for the audience (wrong use of more and more). This is the reason why paparazzi harass the stars and approach them inconsiderately and disrespectfully. They even chase them in not a very speed by cars (at high speeds). Even in overcrowded places like towns of L.A or Paris.
II. Consequences
Unfortunately, this chasing car turn very dangerously and cost lives (the car chase can be dangerous and lead to the loss of lives. For example, Lady Diana, who died in a car chase in Paris in nineteen ninety seven or in Marilyn Monroe’s suicide in nineteen sixty two because of the pressure of the paparazzi on her. To protect their privacy several stars decided to meet and create an ant paparazzi law, and the California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed an amendment in two thousand and nine that permit law write against the media if they use illegal material or take pictures offensively. Then in two thousand thirteen, the stars who were fed up with paparazzi had a law signed to me a paparazzo for damages have of an incidence of harassment.
Conclusion
The paparazzi follow celebrities everywhere, they harass them and their entourage all day long. Following numerous complaints of death and dangerous car chases a law was created to prevent the problem of the paparazzi. The quest for the perfect picture has become more difficult.
