 Talk about some sort of video you've watched online recently. What was its purpose? Was it successful with its purpose? Why? Be specific. 


A video that I've watched recently is a Markipler video playing a fan-made Five Nights at Freddy's game.(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPTyH7Bx2Fc) He was playing the Glitched Attraction which is like Five Nights at Freddy's escape room. The purpose was to entertain his audience, including those who are fans of the Five Nights at Freddy's franchise. I think that his video was successful in doing so. One reason why it was successful is the game itself. The game is very entertaining to watch, and some of the puzzles in them are interesting(even if we technically aren't doing the puzzles). It was especially funning seeing Chica, an animatronic chicken, clock you in the face. Another thing that made this video entertaining was Markipler's personality. Markipler is extremely funny, and just how he goes about things is very entertaining to watch. What I like most is how he generally reacts to horror games where he just screams and insults the enemy whenever he gets scared. The last reason why this video was successful in being entertaining was that it scratched that itch for Five Nights at Freddy's content. I'm not sure about other people, but whether it's good or bad I like anything that has Five Nights at Freddy's in it. This franchise is something that I grew up with, so I hold it near and dear to my heart. I just crave any sort of content from Five Nights at Freddy's I'll enjoy anything that is related to it.

  Another choice the creators used to bring all the artists to the yard(and they're like it’s better than yours…sorry) was their use of colors. Specifically their uses of bright, neon colors. The colors in the trailer are very dark and gritty. Even when it was showcasing the city of Piltover ( which is the richer city above ground in the sunlight).  The colors are desaturated for the most part giving it a very depressing feeling which for those who watched the show is very accurate. Then. Boom! These bright neon colors are everywhere! Neon colors pop a lot more than other colors, but because the trailer typically is desaturated with its colors, the neon pops even more. Your eye is brought to the colors because of that high contrast, and it totally works.  Take this scene in the trailer for example(about 30 seconds in)   This entire scene is dark. It has a few bright colors here and there, but for the most part, it's super dark. The sign on the other hand is a bright ...

The Arcane trailer showcases vivid, beautiful animation that would make any artist's jaw drop to the floor. The choice to do animation was a smart one. They could have easily made this show live-action, but it would’ve lost that oomph that the animation gives this show. Take it from me, animation takes a long, long, long, long, time. An average 90 min animated movie can take up to 4-7 years. Live action is significantly lower than that. I believe Arcane took about 6 years to make. As beautiful as animation can be making one is a huge risk. It takes so long to make you risk losing all that money it took to make. So it was a bold choice to make it animated, but I think it was the right one. Animation is very stylized, and there are many different stylistic choices you can make that make it visually appealing. They also didn’t have to make the animation look good or smooth. They could have put a little effort into the animation, making it go quicker, but it looks like crap. It doesn’t...

Writing Prompt 10/6

 What do you do on rainy days? Honestly? Nothing at all.  Well, I guess that's sort of a lie. I just do what I would normally do just with the extra caution of not stepping a foot outside. I mainly play video games for literally half of the day. Not even joking. Then I do one of the two things, draw or sleep. I guess I become extra lazy when its's raining like the gloominess has taken over my body.
