Essay 1 Notes


GENERAL NOTES:



Argument for quote:



Society has a way of reproducing the same piece of art (whether it be film, painting, media) over and over, which has lost it's way, and is now only about the money.

Counter argument: do the newer artists believe what they are doing is right? Or was it all for money in the first place



Examples of reproduction for money:

Movie sequels, - movies which are sequels of older, well loved movies using the same cast many years later, because people have no original ideas, and end up ruining the love of the original movie

Songs remixing,

Movies rebooting - movies remade nowadays with pure CGI and more special effects just to show off and make money, making money by using the name of an old movie, but with a racially diverse cast in order to seem new, politically correct and edgy

Cinematic universe - nowadays movie companies put far too much into cinematic universe's with many movies because they know people will want to see every movie to understand the story as a whole

Does music fit into this? Do a lot of songs nowadays re use older songs for the wrong reasons? Have artists as a whole lost their way?



Examples of Art which represents the love of art:

Ray Harryhausen

Indie Animators on platforms such as YouTube/twitch

Movies which use the same themes, and respect and pay attention to detail of the story











Notes on essay:



Too many sources, how does the point/my argument fit the brief?

Will my point be lost in the mix of my sources and writers?
