lighting….

its important to have direction Your light when you position it in different directions can make your subject different shapes.

color Flat lighting deosnt give demention or shadows but you can get an even and clear lighting

quantity Is useful so you know when to use much light or very little light

quality Good and bright lights are good for different situations used in films and movies

wrighting….

having fun ideas and sticking and staying loyal to the idea

the characters stick to the pattern

1 character is comfortable

2 they want something

3 enter an unfamiliar situation

4 adapt to situation

5 get what they wanted

6 pay a heavy price for it

7 return to familiar situation/home

8 have changed

the show uses lessons and questions and conflicts to make the show meaningful

rick and morty is a good show because they have a formula to the episodes, they also make funny jokes. But one of the most important is that the characters are very indavidual from eachother and they have their own personal problems that couses personal conflict and conflict with others.
