Why should we carry out research?

Why we should we carry out research?

Research is important because you find out important information about what your searching for and learn new things. For example if you search for a Movie you will find out the cast, ratings and how much money that movie grossed whilst in Cinemas. People creating movies can also use research to help how to aim there movie towards and what target audience to target the movie at.

Their are 3 purposes of research Market research , Audience research and production research. market research includes social and opinion research, is the systematic gathering and interpretation of information about individuals or organisations using the statistical and analytical methods and techniques of the applied sciences to gain insight or support decision making.

Audience research means the age group and the gender, for example if you want to do a super hero movie the target audience would be directed at males aged 7-18

Production research means that you research the set and scene. for example if it is set in the wild west in the past you wouldn't have mobile phones in the production

Primary research is research such as questionnaires and polls, to find out what the public actually think and get peoples opinions. Secondary research is research looking on the internet or looking at books, secondary research is something that already been researched and could be false.


Power 
Review's of Power from IMDB Website.

"Excellent Show that has established its own style"

9/10

"Power" is a great show that seems to invite the viewer to watch more and more of it. I couldn't just stop at one episode, I had to watch them one after another. Some may have their doubts on this show, but I must say it is one of my favorites, due to the fact that it has a great story line and is balanced perfectly between scenes. I can't wait to see where the show goes and how the characters will change throughout the show. 50 Cent has done an excellent job in making this show not just good, but great.

I'm surprised this show doesn't have a higher rating because I believe it deserves it. A must watch for anyone who wants something different.

8.8 out of 10

Really solid crime drama, with a great cast who will impress you.

50 Cent and STARZ Have made a really solid show in Power. Great well mixed cast of mostly well known actors who are all very believable in their rolls. The story so far is very well developed, and once you get past the introductions (and the show gets down to the truth) and the real business is revealed, then you are rewarded with the darkness that really runs things. This is shaping up to be a really good series, and with Starz you know there will be no corners cut, they have real competition out there, and they know it. This show in a nutshell is the family values of Luck or Ray Donovan or even Sopranos, and all the secret back room, and backseat goings on as well. Full of sex, and violence, but mostly a story of one powerful man and all of the things he needs to keep in the air at once.

Wow, this show surprised me

People can say what they want about 50 cent but he did a great job with this show. Power looks genuine and the story is very appealing. The cast in the show are marvelous especially Omari Hardwick. Expect this actor in great roles in the future. I really hope this show makes 2-3 seasons because the quality of the first episode was too good. The soundtrack of the Movie is good too, they use popular songs in a couple of scenes. The cars, the suits and the Environment is very well picked. I live in Sweden and i hope this will come to Europe. There are too many bad series on TV and this show would fit TV anywhere. I will follow this shot until the very end and i will enjoy it. This show is above of what i expected.

Power is the best show of 2014

This show is so surprisingly good. All the actors are amazing and perfectionists.This show is drama filled and keeps me on the edge of my seat.Power is the next best thing.I'm a warrior, yes, a Scandal warrior.But, I'm also a power addict and I can't get enough. Can't wait for the next season.I love the moral of the story. Your local big time drug dealer dating a nark(cop). This is priceless and not seen everyday. A bestfriend who feels like he is alone in the game and is falling in love with a women who is bad news. The perfect wife to sit home,cook,clean and maintain the kids. There's something behind every corner of this dramatic motion picture.


Famous Animatiors

Marie-Georgrs-Jean Meilies, known as Georges Meiles was a French illusionist and film director famous for leading many technical and narrative developments in the early days of the cinema. His most famous animation was A Trip To The Moon.


Zenas Winsor McCay was an American cartoonist and animator he is best known for the comic strip Little Nemo and the animated film Gertie The Dinosaur.

Charlotte Lottie Reinger was a German film director and the foremost pioneer of silhouette animation. Reiniger made more than 40 films over her career, all using invention.




Examples of Animation


Zeotrope is an example of a pre-film animation. It is round drum with lots of images each are slightly different than the other one. The drum has several slits in it. Whoever is viewing it would then spin it and look through the slits. It would give the illusion that the picture is moving and causing a animation.





Phenakistoscope was the first widespread animation that created a fluent illusion of motion. The phenskistoscope can be compared to a GIF animation as it has a short duration and plays as a loop. 




Kinetoscope is an early motion picture device. The kinetoscope was designed for films to be viewed by one person through a little peephole, the kinetoscope was not a movie projector, but it introduced the basic approach that would then become the standard for all cinematic projection.



Mutoscope was an early motion picture device it was similar to Thomas Edison’s kinetoscope. It did not project on a screen but provided viewing to only one person at a time. The system quickly dominated the coin-in-the-slot peep show business.

Cut Out Animation

Cutout animation is a technique for producing stop-animations by using flat characters, props and backgrounds cut from materials such as paper, card, stiff fabric or even photographs.

South Park was created by Trey Parker and Matt Stone. The creators of South Park also helped create Despicable Me 3 and Team America World Police. This is an example of cut out animation because this was created by cutting out characters and locations to create a TV Show.
