 Stranger things is a sci-fi and horror fiction tv show which is shown on Netflix originals. The plot is set in the 1980s and follows 13-14 year olds trying to find their missing friend, Will Buyers. He is later discovered in the upside-down which is a new world with a mysterious creature called a Demogorgon.

  • Variety reported in 2017 that the show's first season budget was $6 million per episode.
  • Available in over 20 languages in around 190 countries around the world.
  •  Nielsen says  'Stranger Things' season 1  had a record 26.4 million US viewers in first four days.
  • The series is directed by the Duffer brothers, Matt and Ross Duffer. At the start, they pitched their script to a number of different cable networks however they all rejected them.
  • Its owned by Netflix Originals so it's only available on Netflix
  • When writing, the Duffer brothers got ideas from the 2013 film, Prisinors and they took that concept and tweaked it.
  • Within the eight episodes, the brothers aimed to make the first season "feel like a big movie" with all the major plotlines completed so that "the audience feels satisfied" but they also wanted to create cliff hangers for effect.
  • They wanted to create a sense of "nostalgia", as its set in the 1980s, and they indicated this in the Season 1 poster. Clothes respect the fashion at the time and the technology used is accurate to what people in the 1980s used.
  • The young cast allows the show to develop a huge social media campaign strategy so stranger things became a popular discussion across numerous social media platforms.
  • In just the first week after its release in the US, Stranger Things leapt over Orange Is the New Black as the most popular digital original series with over three times the audience demand.

Jungle book- 1967 VS 2016 Production

-
What are the differences in the timeline of production for Jungle Book 1967 and Jungle Book 2016? 2016: created on computers (CGI); focused more on Mowgli's background Animation version appears dated, in large part because it appears to use the Xeroxing Method, but that doesn't detract from the great story Disney had created. 1967: was 78 mins long- production costs and cinema running availability- not everyone has a TV (DVD)    2. What technologies were used on the 1967 production? They used a multiplane camera which created an illusion of depth which helped make animated films look more interesting and realistic.They won an engineering academy award. It had a sense of 3D depth in a cartoon setting.     3. What technologies were used on the 2016 production? They merged animal voice and human voice to make it sound real. They had virtual cameras and photograohed the creatures against a real background. Animals and backgrounds were craeted on computers.

Big issue front cover

  I have chosen to do a NHS feature for my big issue cover because as the elections are coming up, a main proposal for left wing parties, especially labour are highlighting a NHS pay rise etc. This conveys with the Big Issue as although they don't follow a particular political stance, it is clear that they portray left-wing views and don't feature big businesses or banks, so to achieve this, having an NHS feature is very significant for the values and ethos of the big issue. I followed the Big issue house style and conventions by illustrating a powerful colour palette, through the rainbow and contrasts of yellow and blue make the cover stand out. For the background i used yellow to represent positivity an happiness, illustrating the 'sun' so that it can shine among the NHS staff. On this background i have engraved 'NHS' among it to make it seem unique and also give more appreciation to NHS and convey the values of Big Issue. I have chosen this specific cut-out o

  Gilroy- theories about ethnicity and post-colonialism OCR definition:   - The African diaspora caused by the slave trade has now constructed a transatlantic culture that is simultaneously African, American, Caribbean and British – the ‘Black Atlantic’.   - Britain has failed to mourn its loss of empire, creating ‘postcolonial melancholia’, an attachment to an airbrushed version of British colonial history, which expresses itself in  criminalising  immigrants and an ‘us and them’ approach to the world founded on the belief in the inherent superiority of white western  civilisation .   Context:   During 1500’s to the 1900’s there was a period of colonialism:   Colonialism - taking over another country to run and exploit it   - Britain did this a lot of countries such as India,  Caribbean , and parts of Africa by sailing  and  installing  their own  military ,  soldiers  and government to act as though they owned that country, leading the people to obey the B ritish. This was done in a
