Before analyzing The Walking Dead, it is important to note that the writers and producers of the show, Gale Anne Hurd, Frank Darabont, and Greg Nicotero have worked on popular films previously.

The article “Peaks and Valleys” by John Calhoun investigates what shaped the film style of Brokeback Mountain. Calhoun interviewed the director of photography Rodrigo Prieto, ASC, AMC, who offered a surprising amount of insight into how many of the films stylistic choices were made – many of them falling into the categories we discussed in class.

“Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” is the pilot episode for the AMC television series Mad Men. Having never seen the program and being completely unaware of its concept, I viewed the episode as if it were back in 2007 when the series first aired. Prior to the screening I was unaware that “Smoke Gets in Your Eyes” was the pilot episode, however while watching the episode I got the impression that it was indeed the pilot episode. I always find that the pilots of well made television series convey the…

what life is like for those who survived after the zombie apocalypse, the show follows a central but ever-changing group of people as they fight for their lives every day. After its fifth season came to a close and just before the sixth season began, AMC aired a prequel of the original entitled Fear the Walking Dead. This six-episode season featured new characters and a new setting, but takes place in the same universe as the original show. While Fear the Walking Dead has many parallels with the…

The movie industy is a huge industy with three groups of players in the value chain. First, the production studios who create the content. Second, the movie exhibitors who provide a place for movie goers to watch the content. Third, the distributors who bring the content from the studios to the exhibitors. Being lower in the value chain, the movie exhibitors bear the risk of poor movie attendance, and incur high cost of renting the content from the studios. In this case study, the market…

Imagine living in a post-apocalyptic world where living in constant fear of zombies has become a new normal. Every little move that is made or every noise that is made can depend on life or death. Everything someone worked hard for would be destroyed and there would be no where to go for help. Would this push someone over the edge or would this push them to keep trying to survive? This is what The Walking Dead is all about. The Walking Dead is an American horror drama television series created…

There are a lot of zombie eating movies out there. Nothing but flesh eating and blood sucking zombies. But have you ever wondered what it will be like being in an actual apocalypse. I am a die hard fan of the television series on AMC called “The Walking Dead”. This show does not clearly focus on the blood and flesh eating zombies, but about survival, finding new territories, and also conflicts. But the pros to surviving a zombie apocalypse is determined by the tools you have and also the people…
