Media Reflection

Animations are an excellent way of bringing joy to a person while enhancing their experience. However, for an animation to be successful, the animator should meet the audience-based expectations. As I reflect on my animation project, I will focus on the four core competencies used in the making of this project.

Animation has always been a way of creating worlds outside of our own and to bestow movement, frame by frame, on a series of still images. Despite its variety of uses as a medium of film, animation is often treated as a genre of its own, placed within the constraints of only being entertainment for kids with a small possibility for weighty themes or adult thematic elements at the peripherical of a plot that is typically centered around a weak narrative of the action-comedy variety. However, when used to its full extent, animation becomes a tool for creating art as great as classical film, using pen, paper, and machines as tools where tradition film uses camera and lenses. The greatest animators of today are able to weave still art and film together, weaving motion

In many people’s opinions, animation means funny and humor and designed for children. The content of the animation is nothing more than fairy tales, legends, fables, etc. Animation even becomes a symbol of Disney cartoon. However, if we re-examine the animation from another point of view, we will find that it has grown out of a single commercial mode constraints. Some of the animations are complicated, obscure and abstract. Variety kinds of visual images in it stimulate the audience's optic nerves. This is the salient features of experimental animation. Experimental animation belongs to the field which between film and pure art. Innovation is the soul of it. In the production process, the

Through the use of distinct visual images and techniques to intensely place the audience in the personas experiences, to confront the fear and hopelessness, intimacy and emotional understanding of the characters can be enhanced.

The medium of Film is undeniably one of the most powerful tools used in media today, the moving image has an ability to evoke certain emotions within the viewer, and as an audience we are completely powerless against its capacity to entice and engage us. I find this fascinating, and like many others I find myself addicted to cinema. I own a cinema card which allows me to regularly watch films with a monthly subscription; this is one of my most cherished hobbies. This then enables me to analyse and examine the techniques used behind the camera, and how they affect audiences at home. I enjoy writing film reviews and feel that I am able to creatively convey my ideas on the page, this skill is strengthened by my interest in reading. By looking at others work you are able to critically analyse your own; a skill which I feel improves your ability to translate thoughts into the written word.

How has the media’s objectivity been affected by the explosion of information sources? Will individuals increasingly live in worlds of their own ideological and moral construction by further isolating themselves from competing ideas? Are we entering an era of “choose your truth”? How does information technology further expand the same rifts between civilizations and between individuals in the same communities? How does it bridge those divides?

The use of black and white helps develop the mystery of the novel. The reader must concentrate on the images so carefully depicted in order to piece this multifaceted plot together. No color allows the reader not be distracted from the depth of content. Campbell employs different drawing styles to emphasize the divide between the two settings: water-color drawings and gravelly, coarse black ink that is more typical of the book. The artistry is detailed yet quite gritty and rude in line use.

Do you believe everything the media tells you? The media can sometimes depict events as spurious or perspicuous. Carlotta Walls LaNier, youngest of the Little Rock Nine, the first group of black students to go an all-white school, wrote an autobiography, A Mighty Long Way, revealing events in her life that the media illuminated and distorted. Events such as the first day of school at Central High, the video of Wilson being attacked, and bombings costing the city money were either illuminated or distorted by the media. During the integration of Little Rock, the media illuminated events that occurred, and distorted events by painting inaccurate or incomplete pictures.

Part One: One-page essays will be drawn from the following questions 1. Providing specific examples of teleplays, explain the nature of the anthology television dramas of the 1940s and 1950s. Discuss at least four specific factors that contributed to the demise of this program type. What does the demise of this format suggest about program limitations and the influence of advertisers in commercial broadcast television? Ex. of teleplay : Marty in 1953 (butcher) by Paddy Chayefsky, Man Against Crime (independent

Overall, I think this assignment was beneficial in opening my eyes and introducing me to popular media that I had not been eager to try beforehand. Even though I may only lightly use one of the media outlets again, Netflix, I think it was a phenomenal learning

I have always had a deep interest in films and consider them the strongest art as they incorporate more senses than any other form. I first felt the power of film when watching Stephen Spielberg’s “Jaws” .The crippling fear of the sea this film was able to create in my mind is a testimony of its power. In this new age of technology film and media are becoming more present in our day to day lives; film does not only entertain but offer new concepts and ideas. I do not only want to study film due to it being my passion but because it opens up new questions and areas to explore. Stanley Kubrick for example is able to present moral conflict and ideas which challenge on an intellectual level. “A clockwork Orange” which I have performed in as a play

Frequently, countless discussions on the topic of representation in the media have surged on the internet. Representation stands for a portrayal of countless groups of individuals on the screen. This paper will analyze the effects of the media about representing LGBT characters. Especially, since portrayals of LGBT characters influence society perceptions for the best or worst.

Famed Canadian animator Norman McLaren once said, “Animation is not the art of drawings that move but the art of movements that are drawn.” In this medium, the creator has complete control over what the audience sees. Not bound by the limitations of budgets or technology, an animator can create anything that they want. Animation runs the gambit, from realistic works like ‘The Polar Express’ to stylized ones like ‘Inside Out.’ Whatever is in the filmmaker’s minds can be transposed onto paper and projected to the masses. While many talented animators have made great movies

This month’s course has been a learning process for me. Even though it has been a stressful couple of weeks dealing with the thesis presentation, I have been able to organize and evaluate my previous projects. In connection with becoming a better designer, I have recognized how important solving problems, researching, implementing ideas, and creative thinking can communicate and persuade towards a targeted audience. Furthermore, the main takeaways I gained from this course are creating and identifying an effective visual presentation, how to connect with the four DLOs, and learning my strengths and weaknesses as a designer.

As a young boy, I always was inspired about cartoons and interested in the life-like movements and charismatic appearances from various characters. Now as a student at Full Sail University, the remarkable tolerant journey for animation has begun and it is a matter of exploiting perseverance to pursue my overall achievements. In the light of my creative expedition, there is someone that encourages me to strive to do my best in all that I encounter upon. Notably, that person is known as the famous John Lasseter. As most animators may know, John Lasseter sprang upon several problems throughout his animation career, but in response, he discovered excellent methods to overcome the high tensions. Personally, I learned vital skills about his lifestyles and personal preferences when he experienced his downfalls. Henceforth, the imaginative skills attained from John Lasseter will help define and prepare my future pathway in animation.
