Gilmore Girls is BACK

Gilmore girls was a very popular show back in the early 2000's, it was a story based in a tight knit group within a small community. Focusing on a mother daughter combo, it has recently come back on to the tele screens with a few changes. The entire cast are back, but there are a few modern changes like technology, attitudes. The camera used to film the series and the references within.

The biggest change for me in this is the technology, gilmore girls was rather dated for it's time anyway with flip phones and box televisions. But now it's a case of where they want to put the flat screens and answering their smart phones.

Gilmore girls does alot of walking and talking shots, I can imagine they use a dolly to get around the scene. It's to make the audience feel more involved, like they're part of the conversation.

Dr Strange

Dr Strange was visually stunning, it's the kind of film that couldn't have been made a few years ago due to the level of special effects.

I'm A celeb

I'm a celeb is all about the editing, it's a reality show set in the jungle. It's not interesting for the veiwer all the time, so they need to pick out the bits that are entertaining to watch. Since it's a show that interacts with the audience, in that they're able to vote for what they want the camp mates to do.
They can manipulate what the viewer thinks about the camp mates by picking the content which makes them look good or bad.

I both like and dislike this, 'reality' tv shows aren't about reality anymore.

Overwatch Short Films

I went on to think about the Overwatch shorts produced by Blizzard, each one shedding light on the backstories of each of the characters the gamer can play as. I would be very interested in using one of these animations for my final essay because they're all increidble. Not only is the animation perfect, but it's their subtly progressing a story that I find beautiful. They are professionaly put together. 

I picked these videos specifically because these characters interest me the most.

'Alive' features 'Windowmaker' an assassin after the president. I love the use of colour within this animation, along with the framing and fight scenes. I would associate this film with the genre 'Action' due to the very long fight scenes. It's action packed. I think I will end up analysing this short.

'Dragons' features the Samurai Hanzo, again this short interests me due to its use of compostion and interesting characters. 

'The Last Bastion' features Baston the robot and his emotional fight with nature and technology, it's visually stunning, the story telling with it's subtle composition and framing is flawless.

But that's what's great about these animation, each character is so strong in personality. The back story being brilliant is that much more interesting.
