VIdeo Podcast Notes

-For this podcast i had to pick a film or TV series that had been remade or rebooted i have decided to look at The Clash of The Titans (1981) film which was remade in 2010

-These two films were made in completely different times and both were amazing for the time they were produced for example the 1981version technology was limited but they used what they had at the time like lots of stop animation fighting scenes and whereas the 2010 version had much more technology avaliable

-Both films had considerably high budgets for there time 1981 had around $15 million and the 2010 version had $125 million so a massive $110 million diffrence which would heavily influence the quality difference between the films. for example 2010 had enough money to create around 1600 weapons for the film including swords, daggers, darts and a blowpipe. there high budget also allowed them to create the 40,000 square foot city of Argos and finally they had the money to spend 5 months designing the
Kraken.

-There are slight differences to the target audience the original Clash of the Titans film aimed for a U classification but instead attained a pg. rating because the director Desmond Davis wanted to reach all ages the 2010 version got a pg13.
