Over the last few weeks we have been working towards creating a quick minute or so long practical artefact to go along side our essays (which will be published shortly). For this we had to create either an animation, presentation or a short film to go with our essay based on one of our lectures or seminars that we attended throughout the course of the year. After finishing our lectures for the year I then decided which one I enjoyed the most and came to the decision of A Medium for the Masses. this lecture was about different media, film for example, maybe not at its best but certainly the most popular and big hitters with the audience. A few to name would be the Harry Potter franchise and Star Wars, but the one I decided to base my mini project on was The Lord of the Rings due to the fact that it is not only my favourite film but also one of the most popular films to date and was a massive hit in the box office.
For this brief in particular I had to be able to
contextualise some of the historical and theoretical aspects of film, games and animation, and due to the subject I have chosen, Media for the Masses, this was clear that I needed to go into further research into the history and background of how the idea was brought to light in the first place and how it was then developed in the way it was.
