intro to show project

in todays lesson we looked at the breif of the project and what we had to do. As we have to create a Microsires for the internet we looked at a few well know Microsires to get an insight and what kind of things we will need to do to create a sucsseful microsires.

We first looked at Chad Vader a microsires about darth vadars younger brother who is a day shift manager at a local supermarket. The episode we watch was good it had alot of refrences to the star wars film as chad is pritty much a softer version of darth vadar who trys to be a tough boss but is pushed around by his colueges. alot of chracters that can be developed over time the show promotes itself by showing the cast on myspace and using diffrent websites to show the videos like youtube or special forooms. the second microsires we looked at is the guild which is about a girl named cyde but also goes by the name of Codex on a lardge roleplaying game in the episode we watch cyde was trying to get ahold of one of her old guild members who had left and joined another guild the idea is very simple and can relates to alot of people who play games like World of Warcreaft and Runscape. cinimatography whie the camera is very static usally played head on to cyde like were a webcame would be of the computer screen. but they alos very some shot in diffrent parts just to atablish location shots of things that are happering. its promotes it self on its own website and it has a large enough fan base it has reliesed its own dvd and murchendise.

we then watched a micro sireies called we need girlfriends which is about 3 guys who have resently all lost there long time relationship after all moving in to a new apartment they all desiced they need to get out in the world and find new girl freinds the idea is strong and some of the chracters and ideas are very funny camera work is very basic like any otehr TV series. this is promoted on its own website and youtube.

the alst siers we watch was my personal favorite out of the four and that was Living with the Infidels which is a 5 part micro sires about 5 wannaby terrorists. this is very funny as it this sires caused alot of up roars and complaints and as people be human what people complain about other people want to see what the fuss is about and people enjoyed it and it became famous from there.



with this the camera technices are very simple yet make it work very well there long shots close up and astablishing shot this all is standered stuff but works well nothing to fancy and in result a well shot and tightly editied episode.




Red vs Blue is one of the biggest Machinnimas that is a common micosires tool used on the internet this sires uses alot of angles and is a great use of modding a game even though can not see them speak the movment the chracters make it look like there talking. the story is simple and very funny and the chracters are classic.
