The history is finalized. Now moving on into the more critical part of the essay, researching some last few things and reading all the articles I have and finalizing my points.

Focusing on the History.

By having my main points for the whole essay completed, I can now move on into finalizing piece by piece. I am first focusing mostly on the history as it needs the most research and detail done. My main history information is coming from a documentary I mentioned in the previous post.

Starting my first draft

From today onwards I am starting my essay draft, very rough, just to have points and see the whole structure of the essay, and start finalizing piece by piece.

Essay Structure

Introduction – I will introduce the topic itself while stating in general what I will discuss about. (approx. 200 words)

First Paragraph – In this paragraph I will explain briefly the history of animation in general, then will go in detail in the history of black animation, mostly Looney tunes and Tom and Jerry, as they are the most famous cartoons of this particular genre. (approx. 600-800 words)

Second Paragraph – Following the first paragraph, I will discuss some controversies that raised with the first black comedy shown in animation. Following the controversies I will talk about different genres of the black animations that can be found. (Although they don’t vary a lot they are still separated into different genres). (approx. 500-700 words)

Third Paragraph -  The third paragraph will be focused upon different medias which these animations can be found, discussing the pros and cons of each, example television is more censored yet still the most a lot of black animations are shown, without the majority of the people realizing, while internet shows similar animations without the censorship of blood. I will also talk about different audiences, how are they seen from different angles. (approx. 600-700 words)

Conclusion – I will conclude the research done with some finishing thoughts. (approx. 100-150 words)

Cyriak - Web interview

The first time he has come out to an interview, a great moment for his fans. In this interview he talks about his weird childhood, which made perfect sense with the amount of strange things you can see in his videos. This made me think about the creators of these type of animations, as most of them can be said they are mentally ill, maybe I am also?
