Week 10 Bone

I remember reading Bone when I was in middle school, I loved reading it again for this assignment.

Bone is such a sassy main character it's easy to get sucked into the stories of his side characters instead.

I find it very interesting how Wes Anderson switches between Stop Motion made movies and regular style films. Yet between these two different methods his characters still have the signature attitude of Wes Anderson. I noticed his decision of color as well. None of his films are bright or neon, b...

Long Form Television

What is television? Television is a series of images, sound, and color coming together to create a visual media enjoyed by many. It's quickly become a staple in the life of many in America and of course other cultures.
