    i mean, it was a movie

    by
    Story analysis time (ft spoilers for the 1985 Clue movie)! Woo! The story I chose to work with for this week was the 1985 Clue movie. I was scrolling through Showtime’s (pretty pitiful, if I do say so myself) collection of 1980’s movies, and, having just watched Knives Out, was in a murder mystery mood […]

    Storytelling in Sixteen Candles

    by
    I decided to rewatch one of my favorite movies, Sixteen Candles, for this week’s assignment of exploring storytelling in the 80s. It follows Samantha “Sam” Baker on her 16th birthday. Sam goes through lots of negative events on her birth day including her parents forgetting her birthday and loosing her sex quiz that says she’s a virgin and saving herself for her love interest, Jake. In the end, everything works out. Sam gets the guy and gets her birthday cake. While watching the movie I kept thinking about the video by Kurt Vonnegut called “The Shape of Stories”. It was […]

    What makes a good story? #storyanalysis

    by

    Karate Kid!

    by
    For this assignment I chose to analyze the animated gif. that was about the Karate Kid. Gifs are interesting to view and analyze to try and understand what the underlying message is. It could be a gif. about a movie, something comical, or just someone created it for fun. Gifs can have lots of meanings and the message is viewed differently by whoever is analyzing it. Photography has always been about capturing the moment. A gif. is about telling a deeper story within the picture, by freezing time. It allows the viewer to really embrace the moment being portrayed in

    Story Concept Breakdown

    by
    STRANGER THINGS – As with many others, I have been hooked into the Netflix franchise title Stranger Things. Unfortunately I have not found the time to watch the newest release, season 3, yet. It’s an engrossing story centered around a group of kids in the early 80’s and their fight for survival. Just like most…

    Story Analysis: The Handmaid’s Tale

    by
    Although The Handmaid’s Tale is a novel originally published and set during the 80s, the T.V. Hulu show is set during modern times. Despite this, as Professor Bond pointed out on my Youtube Introduction, the overarching themes in The Handmaid’s Tale are overall the same. The Handmaid’s Tale is an aggressive and clear critique of …

    The 80’s

    by
    I watched the first episode of The Eighties where the producers delved into the emergence of contemporary TV during this decade. The episode started off with the conclusion of MASH which was very popular during the 70s. In addition, the episode discussed the creation of sitcoms and day-time TV into society. The most resonating quote…

    A Shot in the Dark

    by
    What makes a good secret agent? Is it their stealthiness? Their quick thinking? Their innate crime-solving ability? For Inspector Clouseau, it might be none of those things. Clouseau is absent-minded and clumsy, and disaster seems to follow him wherever he goes. However, I still believe his story to be a good one, and very interesting […]

    For my story analysis, I decided to watch The Incredibles. It had been a while since I had seen it, and it’s a good movie, so I thought “why not?”. The movie starts off with the news that superheroes have to go into hiding. Mr. Incredible saved a man who did not want to be saved,

    Secret Agent Shaped Stories

    by
    The on-theme story I have chosen is that of Kim Possible. I absolutely loved the show growing up so I felt it was fitting. So much of the video and the reading apply directly to Kim Possible. For example, each episode follows a similar “story shape,” it begins around an average point, Kim is just
