Making it your own

One of the coolest things that occur when watching or reading something is when you can relate to a character. Not just a few things, but you can almost place and see yourself in their shoes doing the exact same thing. That is what a lot of producers and writers go for. They want relatable characters that draw in more and more audience members. Like the reading this week pointed out, the move toward the audience becoming more involved in the media is evolving and growing. Although the creators will try and keep a tight grip on their intellectual property, it’s hard to say how long they will be able to do so. My guess is that it won’t be too long. Parodies are already a huge, and pretty funny, part of the audience generated media. Who knows, there might be a move from big studio programs to smaller independent programs. Maybe then there would be something good to watch on TV.
