Please develop a short paragraph, submitted in a Word Doc that outlines the focus of your project from the options outlined.
the topic for the paper outline:
Identify a film that has a reboot and watch both versions.
Movie Selected:
Annie (1932, 1938, 1981, 1999, 2014)
Break the movies down using your own criteria but be sure to focus on the differences between the original and the remake to explain how concepts in our reading support or refute the changes that were made between versions. Focus on Cultural Studies focus as well as any
other theory that you want to align with our readings to support what was done as well as what should have been done between the two remakes to align with the popular culture which is shaped by the media. I’m not looking for a movie review. I’m looking for how the remake aligned or missed aligning with our culture at the time of the remake.
Some thoughts to consider:
To what extent is American culture presented as a dominant culture in the films–how did it align with culture at the time? Did the producer have to change the storyline because the original premise was no longer valid? If so how?
Be sure to use theories of media literacy and cultural studies as part of your analysis.
