Electropop music

Electropop:  is a variant of synth-pop    that places more emphasis on a harder, electronic sound . The genre has seen a revival of popularity and influence since the 2000s. The media in 2009 ran articles proclaiming a new era of different electropop stars and indeed, saw a rise in popularity of several electropop artists. In the Sound of 2009  poll of 130 music experts conducted for the BBC,  ten of the top fifteen artists named were of the electropop genre. Lady Gaga  had major commercial success since 2008 with her debut album The Flame. To make my electropop music video I'm going to use love$ick by mura masa. As Al ex Crossan, also known by the stage name Mura Masa is a Guernsey-born DJ, electronic music producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJM4AQSbZDk

The Jungle book 1967 vs 2016

The Characters.  The "Wolf" family, were actually given individual personalities! Starting of with Mowgli,  I find Sean's Mowgli more enduring and likeable, Baloo, still like him in both versions, just prefer the old one as he's got more of a character and is more funny.Also Baloo in the 1967 version is more child friendly as some kids got quite scared at some points of Baloo's appearances. Bagheera, is a tie, as I like both versions equally. New movie for the win! Raksha is stronger and better in the new (seriously in the original she doesn't even get a line!) Grey. Well I don't even think he appears in the original soooo. Ra... Ale...Dra...Father Wolf.  Was in the film! Remember that one wolf at the end who was helping a pup learn the wolf code? That's him!.... Yeah as you may guess I give it to the original. The Villains  Shere khan is good in both versions, featuring great voice actors, however I have to say I kind of prefer the original.

Disney's savvy marketing of 'The Jungle Book' 2016

Recognizing that there was a need to keep the film from looking too childish in order to appeal to the finicky high school crowd— older siblings tend to influence younger brothers and sisters — Disney consciously filled the first trailer with scary moments (pouncing panther, snarling tiger, stampeding buffalo) while hiding the musical numbers and keeping Baloo’s goofier moments t

The Jungle Book - 2016 Fun Facts  1.  Although the story is set primarily in India, the film’s locations were entirely shot at the LA Center Studio in Los Angeles, California using computer-generated VFX.  2.  Neel Sethi, who had never acted before, won the part of Mowgli in his first ever audition among 2,000 children who were vying for the same role. 3.  Over 1,000 remote jungle locations in India were photographed to be used as references for rendering the CGI locations. 4.
