My focus will be on a Tv Series called Rick & Morty aired in 2013.
I’m drawn to this show because it’s about adventures between a careless scientist grandfather & his grandson Morty who isn’t the smartest. It’s a cool show overall and I would love to explore more about the film in terms of technique & aesthetic.
Outline:
– Title, year of release, studio, director
– Length
– Summary of story (main characters and plot points).
– Style of animation/what does it look/sound like?
– Tone
Contextualize the film:
– Story’s origin
– Length of production
– Animation technique, important technical and stylistic developments
– Use of music/songs
– Different aesthetic approach for characters
– Critical reception
Analyze the film:
-How is it visually distinct/similar to what came before it?
-What are it’s influences outside of animation (painting, comics, live-action film etc.).
-Which works from previous eras/cultures seem to have influenced the work (technically, aesthetically, narratively, politically etc.)?
-How does it depart from its influences?
-What is the filmmaker trying to express/convey? Is it innovative (technically, aesthetically, narratively)?
-Do you think the filmmaker could have made different choices that would have led to a stronger piece?…
