Unit 22 assignment 1 single camera format

Series and serials can either be a movie or even a TV show.  Most often TV shows are serials like the James bond TV shows, Sherlock homes, and American dad. It’s as if the episode before that had no impact on the character starting with a band new blank sleight to the TV show or movie narrative. 

Series carry on a story for more than one episode or movie which can carry then for a very long some TV have even been running for over 20 year and still haven’t ended to this very day.
The advantages of Series on the other hand take the time to build up their characters so that the character can feel somewhat realistic to the audience. 

Some example of shows for series would be the Dare devil, breaking bad, American horror story which are great example of audience getting to know the characters better and what type of person the characters truly are. You may know the characters almost like an acquaintances and this is one of reason the audience watches series they feel more engaged into then a serials because they have to put time and effort to understand the story and character where this will go by the end of the TV show or movie. Series can also lead the audience to like characters in series more than serials because they the character for a longer time then the serial this may lead the audience to be really attached to them and even relate to them in some sort of way.

Series like the dare devil  is a prequel  that has the main character had a normal child later to be in an accident that leaves him blind changing his life forever along with him becoming an orphan.  Later In the series you see that the main character has grown up and becomes a lawyer of justice.  This can easily be represent that people can become great at anything as long as they don’t let anything get in their way and this is represented by his disability of not being able to see which he doesn’t let get the best of him. You begin to get attached to this character if you agree with his morals of life and people. Now if dare devil was to be a serials it wouldn’t be so different as its most about the main character help people each episode and solving question and overall being a hero but there would be less character development for the main character and for there to be a great of overall story
 The advantage of watching serials is that you don’t need to follow the story each episode.

 So you don’t need to watch the first episode to know what is going on and since it’s a standalone episode or movie it can make the audience satisfied as it’s just one depending story by itself. Depending on your taste you may like serials over series. But why is this?  Well serials only have one story so there is no sequel to that story and no continuation to it either. Some people like a short story and takes less of the audience’s free time then series do so they get to do other things instead if they don’t have so much free time  to watch series. Serials often have a closed ending to each TV episode or movie ending while series often leave the audience with a cliff hanger each episode which some audience are not too pleased about making some of the audience unsatisfied of a series episode or movies that get a squeal.  So for audience that have a very short attention span would probably watch serials they don’t much thinking and dedications to them.
