The theory of post-modernism states that every piece of media created in modern day takes inspiration directly or indirectly from something. I feel like this relates to my project heavily, as even though I haven't used a concept directly related to something, I have took a lot of inspiration from the Imagine Dragons: Radioactive music video.
The video itself shows stuffed animals fighting in a surreal cock fighting ring and it seems the producers have used special effects or CGI to give the illusion of realistic movement. My production will be done practically, and the stuffed animals will be used in very different contexts but the inspiration for the video will still be from the Imagine Dragons production.
I thought it would be appropriate to talk about the theory as my project is evidence that the theory may hold some merit. I would argue that although my video will be quite unique and there aren't many that have a similar premise, the idea still spawned from watching other videos and gaining inspiration. I believe this is also the case for many other people on the course, and big productions in Hollywood.
