Film: The Lego Movie

 
The Lego Movie was released in 2014. It was written by Kevin Hageman and Phil Lord. It has three directors whom are also Phil Lord but also Chris Miller and Chris Mckay. The producers are Dan Lin and Seanne Winslow. But The Lego movie was distributed by Warner Bros who are situated in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California in the United States. Warner Bros have made many fils such as Harry Potter, Gravity. 300, A New York Winter Tale, Blue Jasmine, The Hobbit, Godzilla, We're The Millers and many more. The target audience for The Lego Movie is family because it has humour in for all ages. The animation style is stop motion and computer animated. The purpose of the animation is comedy. I like many things about The Lego Movie such as the humour in it having jokes for all ages in it. I also like how the film is not too complicated and is easy to follow. I also love the catchy song that is personally made for The Lego Movie:
 
 
 
Short Film:  Lifted
 

 
Lifted is a short film that was released in Laemmle's Colorado Theater on September 11. It was created by Pixar who is based in Emeryville, California. Lifted was nominated as Best Animated Short Film Oscar. Pixar have made many short films such as Tin Toy and Red's Dream. Lifted was directed and written by Gary Rydstrom. To create this animation Jiggle was used which allowed animators to move every part of the body of a character making them more realistic. The target audience for Lifted is family having humour for all ages. The purpose of the short film is a comedy. I really liked this short film because of the humour in it and having the aliens just like humans taking a driving test, the alien is taking an adduction test. I also like the graphics in it as they are more realistic and the characters move/flow better.
 
TV Series:  Star Wars: Clone Wars
 
 
 
Star Wars: Clone Wars TV series first was released in  2008 by Warner Bros who as said before for The Lego Movie is at Hollywood, Los Angeles, California in the United States. Warner Bros have made many TV series such as The Big Bang Theory, Mom, The Tomorrow People, Arrow and many more. Dave Filoni directed Clone Wars. The animation style is After Effects. Target audience is children/teenagers. Purpose of the animation to bridge the gap between The Star Wars films 2&3. I like Clone Wars because the graphics are very well done and each character is done in detail as the series have progressed the graphics get better and better. I also like that it has some humour at times.
 
Web Series: AfterWorld
 
AfterWorld was published on youtube February 28, 2007. It was created by Brent V. Friedman & Michael DeCourcey and directed by Stand Rogow. They have only made AfterWorld of what I know. AfterWorld is an computer-animated web series. The target audience is young adults+. The purpose of the web series is to entertain and make people think of what could happen in the future. I liked this series because I think it has a good story line to it and also the graphics are very good, like gameplay. However I felt like the animation needed to move abit more or have more pictures to help the story flow/move better.
 
Music: Daft Punk- Give Life Back to Music
 
Daft Punk- Give Life Back to Music was realised in 2013. Daft Punk is managed by Pedro Winter who is the head of Ed Banger Records. Ed Banger Records is a French electronic music record label. They are the owners of Justice, Sebastian and many more. The animated style is Anime. The target audience is teenagers+. The purpose of the animation was to entertain and tell a story of the music. I like this music video because the music video tells a story and isn't what normal music videos have where the person is just standing there singing. It makes it more realistic and easier to get into the song and understand it better.
 
Advert: Welcome to Another World
 
 
 
 
 

This advert won 'Best TV Commercial of the Year'. It was released in 2013 and was produced by Mulla Productions and was directed by Eli Sverdlov. It is After Effects animation and the purpose was to tell a story of the wedding and also to advertise the product. The target audience is adults. I think it is a really good advert because the animation is really realistic and also made the advert original and I liked the way the animation is hidden within the advert and not all of it being animation.
